in a second

I didn't sleep last night. I am not very good at sleeping in the first place, but last night...dag. So anyway, when you really tired and really can't sleep you do wierd things to try and fight it (aka try to sleep). Last night I tried keeping my eyes shut for as long as possible. I started probably about 2am and I must have laid there just like that for 3 hours fully concious, but refusing to open my eyes or move. I finally got up to stretch hoping it would make me sleepy. Then I tried again, this time with my head between two pillows. After about another hour of not moving or opening my eyes, I got to thinking about Heaven, the removal of sin from relationships, and seeing God face to face. It's a beautiful group of things to think about. I finally moved the pillow to see what time it was and thought, "Man who is shinning their headlights into my window...holly crap it's morning"

If I hadn't been so tired I would have laughed, cuz I guess that is prolly how paradise will come on us as well.



More than watchmen wait for the morning
You will be the light by which we see

When we walk through the wheat fields
and fear nothing at our sides

When the separations are over
and the arms length is gone

When the long night is dead
and the day has finally come

More than watchmen wait for the morning
We wait for paradise.
