When we wake up, we can choose to do three things with the new day. We choose to draw closer to The Programmer, stay where we are, or distance ourselves from Him.

One way to grow closer to Him is to begin the day with:

“Thank You for programming me! Thank You for programming a world for me to live in! Thank You for programming my family and my friends! Thank You for programming a social structure in which I can find a place to do my own programming! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

“Thank You for programming Your Church! Thank You for programming all the angels and saints! Thank You for programming holy men and women! Thank you for programming those who would be priests and nuns! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

“Thank You for programming us with free will! Thank You for the Old Program and the prophets it produced to prepare the way! Thank You for the New Program, that lets any of us choose to be a part of Your Program! Thank You for sending the Holy Wireless Connector to keep us in touch with You! Thank You for letting me choose to be a tiny part of Your Program! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!”

“Thank You for living for us! Thank You for suffering for us! Thank You for dying for us! Thank You for rising for us! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
