And the nights vary.<BR/><BR/>I get home from a factory job in which I start early in the morning, often tired. So after we eat, I usually involuntarily (at least up to a certain point) fall asleep soon after I sit (or lay) down- with a book, usually.<BR/><BR/>Then I'll wake up weird hours.... Or usually after a couple hours. I wish I was blogging more when other people are actually doing so. Oh, well...... Thanks for indulging me in your thought of concern.Ted M.

That's one I need to keep in mind, when facing this. Thanks.<BR/><BR/>I do have to be careful, because I can easily neglect things that will set me up for a running on empty, that is probably not always wise.

It makes me feel real... it makes me feel in touch with two-thirds of the world's people, who live with all kinds of "empty" that I never do. <BR/><BR/>And, of course, as you say, empty makes me ready for God... for that oil... that sweet Spirit oil that is just poised to tip into my soul.L.L.
