"Bringing to death the natural life happens moment by moment. A crucial component of this is a discipline the desert fathers call watchfulness... If we are struggling in our thought life, the problem is rarely the overt thing we are thinking. There has been a slow degradation of the spiritual life over time that lends itself to greater temptation..."

We are in the cabin in Jamestown and it is so peaceful. It snowed today and the white is beautiful and been so long since I have seen snow. Love it and cooler is what I wanted nice to have a warm place and beauty outside. Love this journey so far.

1 Thessalonians 5:10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

"whether we wake or sleep we live together with him"
I like that. A lot.
I don't really like sleeping. But nothing can separate us... even sleep. Never thought of sleep.

Our flesh were made to rest. We can't be awake all of the time :) but we can pray for Abba's protection over us because He does not rest. God is good my friend :)

If you think about it, this verse tells us that when we die we will be living together with Him, therefore no such thing as soul sleep because when our body is sleeping we will be living together with Him.

I was talking about bodily sleep. I find the verse very comforting for my chronic insomnia. P.S. Can't say I believe in some coma state after death either :coffee:

why is it when my kids are talking to me it's like little tiny squeaky mice that you can hardly hear but when the song "let it snow" comes on all of a sudden (it doesn't matter where in the house you're at) you can hear them because it's like:

LET IT SNOW!!!!!! LET IT SNOW!!!!!! LET IT SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(If I could make that font any bigger I would have :LOL: )

Hubs and I were working on something the other day when it came on. I told them if they scream it that it would go off.
Poor things! You could tell it was like tourture for them holding it it.
We finished just before the song ended and I said "okay, go for it"
My ears are still ringing like the red bucket bells.
