a review, idea, and irony

There is nothing like starting your day with a sunrise, fresh grapefruit, a hot cup of joe and time spent with good ole Dietrich B. Yesterday was one such day. Words for my second day of 2009 (in chronological order): why?!. acceptance. lovely. awe. joy. productive. disturbing. fascinating. tired. nap. experimental. delicious. fun. booger cookies. crunchy. sleep.

Today I allotted for time to make up for the sunrise viewing of yesterday--a good choice, I must admit. Although, after yesterday, I undoubtedly prefer living (consciously) in the morning time than in the dark of night. Perhaps I should add "early bedtime and early rising" to my resolution list that I'm not making this year. . .  

As I alluded to above, the newest addition to my daily quiet times is a devo of compiled works by Bonhoeffer, I Want to Live These Days with You. So far it has been nothing but a fresh voice of insight that has led to much needed conviction, encouragement and thought-provoking ideas. As several quotes have already cried out to be shared with others, I have decided to take this month to learn (with you) more about the man, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and primarily, to focus on some of his great contributions to the Kingdom. After January, perhaps we shall study a different historical figure together. 

That will have to be all for today.  I had intended to write more, but I got distracted with other tasks and it is now time to sleep. Cheeri0.
