Morning glory or morning Clubing

We all wake up in the morning at different routine times everyday to do something.Mostly here in Africa people wake up just to go to work,either in office,farm etc.For those who don't have work just wake up in a random way to do anything that comes across (not all) for believers I hope you have heard of the 'Morning Glory or Morning Devotion',terms meant for communicating to God before kick-starting your day.Here in Uganda on most radio stations allover the country religious leaders wake up as early as 4:30 am to lead people into praying sessions.Some go to churches,For devotee moslem it is mandatory to wake up everyday to have morning prayers .I once worked near the Indian temple in Nakasero and a great number also go for prayers before work.So whether you pray on your own or in the gathering,whichever way you choose it is a good experience to begin a day in a spiritual mood trusting the super natural for guidance through the unpredictable day.Anybody however great,needs 'something' if I may call it that,which is greater than himself,it is this sense of the unknown power greater than ourselves that motivates us knowing that the new day will be better.

The bible contains several motivational,encouraging,comforting scriptures about this.Forexample (Jeremiah 29:11) God says he has great plans for our future.The unknown can be very scary,not knowing what to expect based on the uncertain present but it feels good to have someone tell you "...there is no need to worry,everything will be fine".(lamentations 3:22-26) after the prophet Jeremiah had shade tears,complained and got weary,he concluded saying "Through the lord's mercies we are not consumed because his compassions fail not,for they are new every morning".everybody needs this.
Though this seems to be a good thing,some people are short of time or have never had a habit of doing this.They wake up and do everything from showering,watching morning news,having breakfast,taking kids to school and later going for work but never praying.
As the world grows older cultures are changing and new ones are being made,they can be resisted at first but with time they always find their ground and following.I grew up Know Morning glory or Morning Devotion as referring to praying But I was challenged to hear Morning glory referring to Morning glory dancing .
In East london people wake up as early as 6am to get into a dance party before they report for work.It is not an after part from a night club.This people are very fresh from bed.they say they can't go to night clubs because they come from their work in the evening when they a very tired and they have to report for work the next day.They say to have a morning glory dancing feels good doing something new.You won't find there alcohol or any kind of liquor,instead you will see people in their office wear,dancing clothes,pajamas and coffee,tea,juice in their hands.Humans are curious and like discovery ,What a generation !.


A new club in London is offering an alternative form of early morning visitors, by giving them the chance to 'rave their way into day' with a new exercise programme of dancing to club music. 
'Morning Glory: Rave Your Way Into The Day' has just opened at the Village Underground in Shoreditch, and gives ravers the chance to 'replace the drugs and booze with smoothies and massages'.
Speaking to BBC News, producers Sam Moyo and Nico Thoemmes say the idea to start the club came after trialling it at festivals.
"It's us turning clubbing on its head," said Sam. It's on from 6.30 until 10.30 in the morning and the idea is that people wake up and instead of people going to the gym or pottering about in their rooms, they come here and drop in any time for a massage, a superfood smoothie, some coffee, lots of hugs and just general love and fun before going to work.
"You don't need all of the drugs and drink, and that was one of the reasons for doing it on a Wednesday morning - to filter out the afterpartiers. Not that we don't love a good party."
