That Kinda Day

ONE

I did go to 5am prayers, with flashlight, and at 4:30 

Felt remorse for my faults, as neighbor, leader, pastor ...
Even prayed for my enemies and foes, whosoever will!
Even interceding for China and the coronavirus angst, global near-panic
Lovers lost and promises broken, telling others "Celibacy is do-able!"

TWO
This day went well as far as teaching about Mesopotamia
I made connections: their numbers based on 60 gives us time & angles
Reviewing how their 5,000 year-old potters wheel, birthed wheeled things
Educating young minds to ask, "Why first harvests at rivers? Why not hunt?"
Dealing with students is fun. Dealing with bureaucrats, yes at college, stings!
