Even King Solomon Hated Morning People

Proverbs 27:14

He who blesses his friend with a loud voice early in the morning,
         It will be reckoned a curse to him.



I couldn't believe that I was the only person who giggled when we read that verse in Sunday School.  Maybe it was because it was still too early in the morning?  :-P

Hahaha :) I'd overlooked that one, apparently, when I'd read Proverbs before.

It's one that I never forget. :-D
especially if people are being perky in the morning.

I'm a morning person, myself--must be why I overlooked that one :P

Yeah. Morning people have lots to choose from in Proverbs. Honestly, every morning I have to tell myself "A little more sleep, a little more slumber, a little more folding of the hands to sleep, then will his destruction come like a...somehting or other" just to convince myself to get out of bed.

I hate mornings.

Ah, Proverbs as a motivator...that is an interesting approach. I like A.E. Houseman's "Reveille" ;)
