Morning Routine

  I have a new morning routine.  I have always wanted to be a morning person, but the combination of my depression, medicine I take that makes me tired, and darkness kept me in bed longer than I'm ashamed to admit.  But as of late that's all changed.
  Every morning I can, I get up around 5:15am, sometimes earlier.  I make my way down to the basement where my mini library awaits me.  I turn on two overhead lights, my light therapy lamp, and a desk lamp.  And I start my coffee.
  Really, my process starts the night before with coffee.  I like good, freshly ground coffee.  The night before I grind some good coffee beans and take all my supplies down to the basement.  Then, in the morning I make my fresh pour over coffee.  I use a Bodum pour over coffee maker.  It is amazing, it's a pick up me to have some fresh caffeine and good smelling coffee.
  Then, I read.  For me, reading is life giving.  It gives me ideas, passion, and a look into other people's lives and ideas.  I've tried reading fiction over the years, and there are some fiction books I really enjoy, but my reading is mostly theological and biographical.  And I can't read one book at a time.  Right now I'm reading about 6 books together.  I have about 40 books on my bookshelf at home that are next on my list to read.  And I have about 9 books coming to me in the mail!
  Finally, I end my time with Scripture reading and prayer.  Right now I'm reading through Revelation with a group of guys using Marco Polo.  By about 7am I leave to have breakfast with my family.
  Why tell you all this?  I believe routine, reading, and setting aside time for devotion to God is so important.  I share to encourage and challenge.  What is your morning routine?  How do you get up in the morning to begin your day with God?
