I got a really good night of sleep last night, even though I didn't get that much of it. This weekend I helped with the youth group lock-in, and I spent the night on the couch in the youth room. The couch was more comfortable than my bed at my apartment, and it got me to wondering. Wondering because every bed I've ever slept on at church, church camp, or the like (even the floor at prov was not bad, and seriously, not more uncomfortable than my bed) has always given me a great night's sleep. So it made me wonder whether it's the bed or the environment that's giving me such a good night's sleep. Especially because I rarely get a full night's length of sleep at any of these places. Maybe it's sleeping in/near God's house that lets me rest, and lets me get caught up, and just gives me a sense of peace when I wake up. Next time I get way too stressed out, and it's starting to make me sick, I'm finding a reason to sleep at church. Or maybe I should just go be a nun...

I have to agree... I have had the same experiences. Still the most amazing beds were at the ECCU. I think it's a good portion of the environment. Churches and church events have a uniqueness (is that a word?) to them that gives us peace.
When's the next church event? I could use a good nights sleep. :)

the Bishop Quarterman Conference Center back home has better beds than the ECCU, but not by much....umm, the next church event would be national gathering I think...so I guess by then you'll definitely need to go.

Episcopal sisters are the coolest...

I would support you in your nunnery, if you ever so chose ;) :P

Thanks Eric, though I currently have no intentions of actually becoming a nun, it's nice to know people will support that decision.
