I am a morning person, a topic I address in a humorous fashion here. (I am one of those who refer to the practice of changing time in the spring as DST—Daylight Stealing Time—because the night people steal daylight from the morning people. But tonight we get to claim our morning hour of daylight back!) As such, my best time to try to connect with God is the morning. These three songs are from morning prayers.
