I just opened a “Verse of the Day” that comes into my email box daily (funny how that happens).  This is it:

Mark 1:35 (NIV)

Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.

What great affirmation!

(If you don’t understand why this is cool to me, read “I Get Up At 5,” which I posted about 5 minutes ago).
