Wakey, Wakey!

Earlier today I briefly fell asleep at a restaurant where I frequently go to get iced tea.

While I was fast asleep one of the workers who knows me as a regular customer walked by my table and grabbed my arm. She shook my arm and in a loud voice said, “Rise and shine. Wakey wakey!”

I jumped and for a moment, literally, did not know where I was or what I was doing.

It’s a weird feeling to wake up from a sound sleep, not recognize your surroundings, and slowly realize you are in a restaurant.

Several seconds later she was waving at me and laughing from behind the counter.

Chuckling, I called out, “You got me!” 

…Then I laid down on the floor and went back to sleep.

Rise and Shine, It's Time To Get Going


Shhhh, listen.  Do you hear that?  …Yep, that’s the sound of people rising and getting ready for church.  It’s fantastic!  …Okay.  Hold on.  That other sound was someone getting back into bed.  I guess we’re going to have to crank the volume on the sound system a little bit louder during the worship team run-thru to get that person up and out of bed.
