The bible says evil deeds are done at night and that there will be only Day in heaven. Better get all your nighttime while it's still around.

Um, what verse are you referencing here? Because I have never read that.

If you read Genesis 1, night was around before the fall of Adam & Eve.

As I am sure you know, night plays an essential role in all of nature. God designed things [plants, animals etc.] to be akin to the night.
 
I love night time! I'm naturally a night owl, like, when I don't have to wake up early for work, I end up going back to staying up until the wee hours of the night. I love it though, I love when it's past midnight and everyone is asleep and you look outside and it's so still and mysterious. It's just awesome. :)

But heaven isn't nature. Its outside the physical realm and therefore not effected by the rotation of planets, etc.. God is the shining light in heaven, his light does not go out, and he sits in His throne.




I don't know of that verse either, but likely its not a reference to literal day and night. The bible says during judgment the deeds we did in the dark will be brought to light. Obviously that doesn't mean literal dark, but the things we do in hiding.

Yeah after 3am, I get a little concerned. In the past, I have had seizures if I am still awake past 4am - lack of sleep/over tiredness causes them. My brain gets a little foggy around that time and the neurons don't work as well as they should. If I am up still at 3am, I'll take a melatonin and it makes me fall asleep.

It's a time when all my distractions weaken, and I have to face how I really am think, feel, and live at the moment in time.

I think this is why a lot of good conversations go on at night and a lot of self-examination as well. Everything else is gone; everything else is quieted. It's just you and your thoughts.

I used to go stargazing with a friend in college. I get into such contemplative moods when I look at the stars, and we often would have deep discussions. It was great. Staring out into that vast beauty, it's like you feel freer, that you can share anything at that moment and it will be okay. It's also incredible how many shooting stars there actually are when you can really see the sky with no lights around. My friend and I counted 7 or 8 one time and we were only out there for less than 2 hours.

I find that most of my poetry/writing comes to me at night. During the day, I have to deal with people at work, stresses, etc. and so when nighttime finally rolls around it's like my mind and my heart can be free from it all, if only for a little while.
 
Great responses everyone! Thank you!

I believe there are several verses dealing with light and darkness (some even literally), but the only one that comes to mind for those searching is:

[SUP]11 [/SUP]If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
[SUP]12 [/SUP]even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.

-Psalm 139:11 & 12
