I love spending time with God in the early morning as I run.  I can hear God's still, small voice without it being drowned out by sounds of "this world".  Likewise, I feel that my thoughts are clear and God can hear my requests.  "In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice..." -Psalm 5:3a.   "...and after the fire came a gentle whisper." -1 King 19:12b -Pastor Mike
