Needed Quality Time

Back when I lived in the basement apartment on St. Charles street, I loved the hours from midnight to 3:00 AM I could play computer games, and knew mom wouldn't be hollering at me, and I'd be getting no phone calls so would be undisturbed. Usually by my bedtime, I'd be too tired to do much but a few basic prayers, and couldn't concentrate to read the Bible.
One night just before 10:00 PM (22:00) the Lord intervened and asked, "How about a little quality time, instead of the dregs left over after you've used every available good minute?"
Just then from mom's TV upstairs, Johnny Carson came on. I replied to the Lord, "Let that song be my reminder to get into prayer time, and I agree to do it!" I really think I could be wearing ear plugs and I'd hear that song and be reminded!! but it worked, I would always do my prayer time then, and that has held over for the last 20+ years
Years later, I had moved to the High Rise, and in the morning after my coffee, I would fire up the computer for a game or two. One morning the Lord intervened again, "You wouldn't want to give up some of your morning time for me would you?" Thus began my morning prayer time that I've been really faithful to for the last 10 or more years.
The really sad thing though, is that the Lord had to intervene to get me to do what I should have been doing all along, putting the Lord first instead of last!
