The Plan

OK, so this is the thing: I need to insert some discipline into my life, in my walk with the Lord and in my physical life. In SPAM tonight, M shared (actually Pastor shared for him) how he was waking early to meet with God. Watching K my daughter at 13 run the 3000 meters and doing so well at it, and seeing a longtime friend this Sunday so well slimmed down, and frustrated with my inability to get through the Bible in a year, not even to say the Old Testament in two years...well, time to be committed. I am not posting here for anyone expect perhaps M and my wife L to give me accountability. If you want to cheer me on, or gratuitously watch, or lurk, or provide thoughts, either for my log of my devotionals or my log of weight and workout - knock yourself out. I care not. M & L, thanks in advance for your encouragement and accountability. May the Lord be blessed by a newfound consistency in my life, which has always eluded me.

So, my initial plan is a 4:30 AM wakeup, with 5 minutes clear the cobwebs, then 15 minutes for my youversion.com reading to get out the door and walk around the neighborhood for 15 minutes (walk/jog) while ruminating, meditating, and praying, then if I am brave I will swim 5 laps in 15 minutes, then back in the house to shower. Should be ready for the day by 5:40. We'll see.
