Insomnia


Update: I have been busy from get-up to lay-down this week with my national union convention in Detroit. Monday and yesterday I was only able to update this blog.

Hey, speaking of Detroit, if you live here, in New York City, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Chicago, Denver, Columbus or Dayton, Ohio, Washington DC, Los Angeles or Indianapolis, your city is on the list of most bedbug-infested cities.

Better see Mama about that.

AN OLDIE BUT A GOODIE

Bob was having trouble sleeping at night. He'd tried everything: Over the counter sleeping pills, warm milk, counting sheep, watching old, boring movies on late night television, and every other old wives' tale and suggestion from friends.

Finally he went to his doctor, who prescribed a heavy dosage of extra-strength sleeping tablets.

Bob took the pills on Sunday night and awoke before he even heard the alarm, realizing he'd slept soundly. Elated, he dressed unhurriedly and took his time arriving at his office for work. When he walked in and saw his boss, he said, "I finally slept great last night! And I didn't have a bit of trouble getting up this morning!"

"That's fine," his boss replied, "but where were you Monday and Tuesday?"

WISDOM for YOUR WEEK: "My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, do not let them out of your sight; they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck. Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble; when you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet." (Proverbs 3:21-24)
