I slept through chapel today
No, I didn't sleep through chapel in my room - it
was in my seat. I had a college flashback.
There is something serene about the sleep you get
when you are not supposed to. My eyes just would not stay open. To top it off,
the chaplain that was preaching was not really preaching - he was going on and
on about what he learned about growing up in Kentucky. Stuff like, "Keep away
from skunks and gossips." or "The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse
gets the cheese," "its hard to milk cows 'cause they would not stay milked."
"Don't sell your mule to buy a cow." And then he drew spiritual analogies that
were (even he admitted) a stretch. I didn't feel real bad about catching fifteen
minutes of rest while he joked about KY. Its not like he was preaching or
anything.
