Granted my typical day depends on the day of a week; but by a large part I have a typical day practically every day. Speaking of a day during the “WEEK” – my typical day starts by “signing into” an office network. This office network provides me with information that can then be used to direct me through the rest of the day. It informs me a scheduled meetings; one on one conference calls; shared work assignments (and this list of items could go on and on).
A Non-week day (or technically a Saturday or Sunday) – has a similar routine minus signing into the office network. These days to have some routines that are automatic for them – that are not done on the other days – but these too can be classified typical days.
In Seven days; or six days and a couple of hours, depending on how you count it….
There is a strong possibility where my typical day (regardless of week day / weekend day) will be going away. Meaning I will no longer have a typical day? Will I ever have another typical day ever again? That is a bit hard to define – if eternality ever ends up have periods of routine within it; then I suppose I could end up with typical days again – but if eternality does not have routines in it (and then this side of it – it should not) – then NO I will never have another typical day.
Will I miss having a typical day? Most likely not? I mean I know nothing for sure, but seems to me if one is unsure what one will be doing from moment to moment – than it can no longer be routine – and if it is no longer routine – than it can no longer be called typical.
What about you – will you be missing a typical day?
How will you react when your day suddenly goes A-Typical?
Have you really stopped and considered that (depending on count) – you will no longer be faced with the typical?

I'm not a person of routines, I'm a person of spontaneity and flexibility. I'm the sort to run off and work hurricane cleanup, or drive a courier delivery to another state, or drop what I'm doing to help a friend move a piano. I don't like routine, I chafe under it. So I think it just goes to show that we all have different personalities.

My schedule this fall is so busy, I find myself praying for the Rapture to come as an "easy way out". 😀 I am not the best at juggling work, volunteer, children, children's crazy activity schedule, husband, church, bible study, bible study homework, making dinners to be ready when I walk in the door or ones that can be brought with me 4-5 days a week, and some time for prayer and myself.
I quit one job and a couple volunteer roles recently to focus on the other things. But somehow, no matter how hard I try, it is a challenge to keep God first. No wonder people are in overload and can't stop long enough to hear his voice.

My only routine is that I get up early and go to work and get home late. I never know what I'm going to be doing at work as it varies from day to day. While that keeps things from getting boring and the fact that I have computer access so I can come here, I really do not like my job as I am way over qualified for it and getting over-aged for it. The guys I work with are almost half my age, yet make twice my wage, so you can't guess what kind of environment that breeds. I look forward to the 23rd with eager longing. I pray every chance I get. I make sure an repent when I know I've done something that Jesus would not approve of. I truly feel I am a wretch.
Consequently, this forum is the first contact I've had with "real" Christians in I don't know how long. My wife and I once fellow-shipped with a small congregation of the Worldwide Church of God until it evaporated from losing funding after the main church fell apart. We haven't joined another congregation or even felt like there was one that taught the truth around here for at least 20 years. Not only do we live in rural western Kansas, we live 30 miles in the country from the town where we work/do business and there have not been any opportunities to move or leave the area. It's like God put us here and kept us here for a reason. Not that I'm complaining. Living in the country is wonderful. It's just that we can't 'do' anything. We can't afford to 'do' anything. All we have been doing is going to work and existing. And watching, of course. We thought 'something' was going to happen last September 23rd, and something did actually. The pope coming to America? That was a pretty big deal. "I come in my own name..." WOW, how did so many people miss that? Anyway, when we found out about the Rev. 12 sign, at first we were skeptical, of course, but the more we researched and learned and asked the Father for confirmations, the more we were convinced, the more ecstatic we became. Then came the eclipse, and then the wait. . . . . are there now 36 hours in a day? or 48? what's going on? haha These days seem to draw on soooo long.

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
I can't wait to never have a typical day ever again 😁

Missus,
I second that motion. I really can't wait to be done with the typical day of this life.

I feel like a secret or double agent right now. There is my regular life, where I go around, running my kids to their activities, planning the future season for skating and generally being "busy" talking about nothing that matters in the long run. I have managed to find ways to infiltrate my religion into my life- joining a bible study, putting the kids in AWANA, going to church, getting hired as the secretary for my church, but it still feels like two separate lives.
Then, just to make it interesting, I felt compelled to research the end times this spring. That eventually led me to here, where I spend a lot of time reading and learning. I try to add what I've learned into the other segments of my life, but it doesn't seem to mix very well. I manage to post on Facebook about once a week regarding something, but between that and the two or three people I've been able to have a conversation about watching signs with, it just doesn't feel like a lot.
It would be wonderful to be able to shout out about it and speak about it constantly, but I honestly think no one would really listen.
This made me think about the struggles and challenges the Two Witnesses will have. People probably won't listen and will probably do some yucky things like throw rotten food and refuse on them. They will have many challenges while they are completing their mission.
Someone on here said that because God is outside of time, we can pray about things that have happened or things that are far off in the future as well as what is important to us in this moment. I think I will start adding the Two Witnesses to my prayer list as their typical day will not be very pleasant at all.
