Late Night ... Early Morning

Tweet

There is nothing new about an early morning for me. However, my not getting to sleep until close to midnight, yeah, that's new. It hasn't happened in a long time. I've had some sleepless nights, and I didn't go to sleep when I went to bed at 8:30, but to go to bed late, to begin with, 10:30 and then not be able to sleep until midnight, that's not common. So, what was the reason? I blame it completely on Thread of Evidence. I spent most of my day working on my book, making it the best it can be. When I went to bed, my brain was still active, but in another way. One of the chapters has a poem, and not just any type of poem, a limerick. Now, mind you I don't write limericks often. Seldom, as most of my poems are four line rhymes. Not this one. I had a verse in the poem, I wasn't happy with. The rhyme was off for the first, second, and fifth lines. The middle was great. However, it's almost impossible to rhyme the word shout, which I needed to do. Last night, as I lay in bed the verse started going through my mind, and I started correcting it, and I knew I needed to get up and write it down. Okay, did that. However, I still wasn't satisfied. Now, if you know me, and you know my username, just 4 him, all my writing is for my God. That's who I write for, and He's the one in control of the pen in my hand. It was God who kept me awake, giving me the words to the poem, the last and final verse, yet unwritten in the book, so I was up once more, writing it down, and then I turned on the computer, found the chapter, corrected the verses that had changed, and added the last verse to the poem. It's an awesome poem. One of my best. I'll place that one next to my 9/11 tribute God's Tears. I don't even know if I have a title for it. I should probably do that. Anyway, as I got back to bed, I asked God to get me up at 4 this morning. I opened my eyes at 4:02. Close enough. I took my medication, did my Bible Study, took care of my notifications, and ate before leaving for church. Right now, I'm still wide awake with less than 5 hours of sleep. The Packers game against the Redskins begins in a few minutes, and I have my lunch ready to eat. So, for now, I'm going to post this and go watch the game. I will return. How are you spending the day? Thanks for reading
