Yesterday was a cleaning day, so when it came time to go pick up my stepson, I was happy for the break. The result of the long car trip, unfortunately, was that I ended up staying up later than I had planned. So this morning is a bit rougher than most. I was expecting some eventual difficulty with the early mornings, as I've not been a morning person since before starting college.
Today I've got plenty to keep me busy. The house is a bit of a wreck, so I'll spend this morning getting it cleaned up before work. And with an active 9-year-old in the house, this afternoon should be anything but boring.
The prayer country for today is Iran, where a group of Christians were arrested early last month. It is illegal to convert to any faith from Islam in Iran, which has only two remaining registered churches. It is probable that these people have been forced to renounce their faith, with the penalty for not doing so being likely dire. One man has been held there since 2009, awaiting a death sentence after he protested the required Qu'ran training for his children (the Iranian constitution allows for religious freedom, despite current practices). The death sentence was to be carried out in 2010, but he remains in prison--873 days after beginning his sentence.
