How is it Possible?

I creep out of bed in the morning. I have set my alarm so that I can wake up 1/2 an hour earlier than everyone else. Everything is silent. Ahhh. Blessed silence. I quickly put on some coffee, and then sit at the computer. I debate with myself. Play on the computer or read my Bible. What should I do? Read more...

I know I should read my Bible, but the computer sure is tempting. There is another reason to choose the computer - I will be guaranteed another half an hour of silence, which I really need.

But no, I take the risk and pick up my Bible. I sit down - all is still well. Everyone is still asleep. I crack open the pages to my place. I read one sentence, no more like one word. And then I hear it: voices, footsteps, arguing over the bathroom. One child comes out and starts chatting about the pokemon cards everyone is trading in school. Another child needs assistance in the bathroom. I manage to read a couple of paragraphs amidst the chaos of morning chatter and dressing issues. Bitterly I think to myself that I would have to do my devotions at 2am, and even then, they would probably wake up.

How is this possible? Is this a coincidence? Murphy's Law? I think not.
