"In the book of Philippians, the apostle Paul says he longs to stay in this life because to live is Christ, but he then adds that to die is gain. Staying awake is good, going to sleep is really good, and waking up is just the best." -- Douglas Wilson, Bone of My Bones
Sleeping is practice for eternity. It is dying to yourself and finding yourself again the next morning. It is giving yourself up and receiving yourself back. It is death and resurrection on the small scale. It is the opening act before the main event. In falling asleep, we let ourselves go. In waking up, we rise again.
