It is good to rest through sleep because:
If you don't, you will have increased anxiety and breathlessness causing sleep apnea meaning you won't even be able to sleep (a vicious cycle)
Without it, your memory will be impaired and your cognitive performance weakened
It is anti-aging. When you sleep, your body is resting, repairing and regenerating itself [...]
What a summer I had last year. I had lost or damaged so many things: relationships, direction, sense of who God actually created me to be, confidence, income, health, peace of mind. My ministry was gone and my marriage was wounded. The only thing firmly in place was my pride, but God was chipping away at it. [...]
8.10.06 So I am minding my own business (and my own busy-ness), wondering why God won't give me direction for my future; I'm physically run-down, emotionally weakened and I am innocently pondering the events of the day: how Hunter couldn't hear from us, receive from us, needed nothing from us until he could get sleep. [...]
So where were we? I had lost title, position, most of my marbles and any inkling of what God had in mind for my life. I was madly volunteering for anything anyone would let me do, cleaning obsessively, weeding my yard (and maybe even a little of the neighbor's), helping Rocky & Jovan with their [...]
I had one of those sort of everything-in-your-life-changes-and-you-weren't-expecting-it crisis events last summer, which I will not go into right now, but suffice it to say, I suddenly had "time on my hands" to relax, get some things done around the house and catch up on projects if I wanted to. Everyone I knew, especially my [...]
Are you rested or restless?
I was once a TYPE-A personality, I have been told. I just thought that I was a really great multi-tasker who was highly productive. I was rewarded for being a retail manager who could get more done in less time, using less people, making more money. I needed very little sleep and didn't [...]
Happy birthday to you, my sweet husband. Thanks for choosing me to share your life.
Thanks to the young girl who gave birth to you and to the family who stepped in to raise you and make sure you were in the right place at the right time so we could meet and create this life. [...]
Algebra I my freshman year of high school (I think they now teach the same course to 4th graders): on exam day our paunchy teacher with the unruly hair, whose name escapes me now would say, "Don't let your eyes wander. Some one may step on them." And I could visualize that happening and it didn't [...]
A driver did the right thing by stopping at a school crosswalk even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.
The tailgating woman behind him went balistic pounding on the horn, screaming in frustration as she missed the chance to drive through the intersection [...]
Last week was a rough week for our family. Jovan's (our beautiful new daughter-by-marriage) grandma passed away rather suddenly on Monday. It was Jovan's first day at her new job and she was going through orientation when she found out, so she had to press on and subdue her thoughts and emotions. It made it [...]
