For the record, I think I might have had a little bit too much tonight. Not enough to interfere with my ability to spell and write grammatically, but perhaps one too many. Just want to keep us honest- those of us who are on the same page. Even though I absolutely believe alcohol is not sinful in-and-of itself, it is certainly open to abuse. Lets always keep that in mind.

Or maybe I'm just tired because I'm up way, way too late. Is interfering with the natural sleep rhythm a sin? Debate your heart out, boys and girls!

Well, it's 4:38 am right here now. And I've disrupted my natural sleep cycle a LOT in the past few months. And it's not a good thing. Not sure if it's a sin.

You write well for someone who's had a little too much and is up too late, btw. I only see a missed contraction in there that I saw.

Ha! Reminds me of someone I debated years ago who spoke of fasting sleep. For days. Upon which deprivation God would bestow a prophetic vision. Not the most reliable source of prophecy, imo ... ;)

I once hallucinated a giant snake running the length of a highway I was driving on when I was very close to dozing off at the wheel, and there was a long, wide, dark, wavy line smeared on the road.

But tonight my reason was good, imo. So hopefully that makes it not a sin. :p

LOL. If you mean my snake, I will say it made for a VERY tight grip on the wheel! My first thought was NOT to move the wheels and accidentally hit it! My second thought was how ridiculous the thought was that I was seeing a huge snake about a half-mile long and that I'd better pull over and get some rest!
