Well, you may have wondered what the last post was all about? Thats a good question, for Iam not quite sure myself. this is no excuse but it was three in the morning and I hadnt slept too much before. Today in chapel we had a little bit of a christmas celebration. Well I guess I should back up and explain chapel. Here at the college I attend we have chapel three times a week and they are exponentially sweet! This morning was our annual Christmas chapel where we break out some traditional Christmas carols and sing some cool Christmas hymns. IT was a good time to be reminded of Christ coming to earth and His humility and all that He gave up in heaven. The message today was on having a "righteous rest" over break. Sometimes, for me thinking of resting or sleeping I think that it is unspiritual or that I am not serving others or God by sleeping. But this is so wrong. I can sleep to the glory of God and should sleep to the glory of God and as a favorite preacher of mine says, "drink orange juice to the glory of God." (John Piper.) I cannot sleep selfishly but should sleep unselfishly so that I will be better able to serve later. I know from experience that although sometimes it seems necessary to stay up late usually I am wasted the next day and am not very good to anyone. (just ask guys on my dorm wing.) even as I type right now I think about the last couple of days and realize that right now I should go to sleep and get some rest. Hope you guys are good!
