Bill Hamblin Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, "How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Foot-Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word." (1 Kgs 18:21) 1
The Nehor Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 I choose the god of naps to serve this day.
Duncan Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I choose the god of naps to serve this day.as did I! I don't follow American Bowling tournaments anyways 1
Calm Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I choose the god of naps to serve this day.Hey, I got to church today by telling myself how much better my daily nap would be if I went. There is just something divine about shedding church clothes, putting on pjs and sliding into the best bed in the world with a clean conscience.

I hope both the nap and Church were exceptionally good today.
maxrep12 Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) I choose the god of naps to serve this day.I'm with Nehor on this one.However, I remember hearing as a youth that "Day of Rest" did not mean take a nap. They explained that "rest" simply meant a change of activities; collecting fast offerings, visiting the sick or elderly, or reading the scriptures. Seemed like someone wanted to make sabbath observance as painful as possible.Anyone else hear that line as well? Edited February 6, 2012 by maxrep12

I realized the source (a Type-A or Red personality depending on how you classify these things always on the go and unhappy if not busy) and decided he was projecting his own idea of meritorious activity on to his Sabbath.If God wanted me to be a maniac on Sundays with lots to do he would have had me meet my wife and then called me as a Bishop. He did not and I am content with his decision. Well, at least with the second part.
Calm Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 If the Lord doesn't want me to take naps, he's going to have to do something about my sleep disorder....which would get no argument from me.It was a glorious one btw.
Scott Lloyd Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) Kudos, Cal! I hope both the nap and Church were exceptionally good today. By the way, President Kimball listed sleeping as appropriate sabbath-day behavior. I won't bother looking up the passage in Miracle of Forgiveness, but it's in there.

blackstrap Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I killed two birds with one stone....I slept in church...or was it through church?
rameumptom Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 If the Lord didn't want me to take naps on Sundays, he shouldn't have had me ordained a high priest!
