A wake-up call
I was just surfing around on Piper's website, and read this sermon. It's amazing. It's what he preached at OneDay in 2003. It's awesome - it talks about the holiness of God and what that is, what it means, and why it is important - no, vital. You should read it.
I tell ya, I woke up in a foul mood this morning. I had nightmares last night, woke up feeling very sick, and didn't get enough sleep. I went to work with a bad attitude, and by the grace of God, it didn't stay so bad all day. Melissa and I went out for American food tonight, and it was thoroughly enjoyable. Now I'm about to go to bed. I need sleep desperately. I also need my perspective changed, but I'm not going to elaborate now because I'd end up typing and typing and never get to bed. That's a start of it though - doing smart things like going to bed at a reasonable hour even if it means I can't ramble on in a post. I'm learning...slowly but surely.
