FRIENDSHIP BISCUITS
Golly, it's been forever since I posted something on this blog. I only have four entries so far - I'd better start hauling some major gravel here. I mean life is flying by at something like 14,000 miles per hour. I didn't make that number up. Today, I was mildly chastised by my friend that I'm having a Bible study with; he implied that I sleep too much. Yes, it was an implied chastisement. I don't think that Japanese people would ever directly chastise someone. When I happened to mention that I try and get 8 hours of sleep a night he told me that a person really only needs four hours. Then he proceeded to lay a proverb on me that went something like, "Each person is given 24 hours a day. It is what we do with that time that makes all the difference." And I thought to myself, "Hey, I'm leading this study! I'm the one who's supposed to dole out the wisdom, pal!" Actually, I didn't think that, but it did get me to thinking. Could I get used to sleeping for four hours a night? Is it worth the experiment? Would we be making blogging history here? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the answer to all three of these questions is 'NO.' However, for some sick and twisted reason I am tempted to do it. My guess is that my little experiment will result in several of the following:

1. More naps.
2. More prayer and worship time.
3. More propane to heat our livingroom.
4. More naps.
5. Four meals a day.
6. More naps
7. More blogging.
8. More reading.

I'm really bad at forseeing the future. But I am fairly good at guessing. Ask my girlfriend. Anywho, let's see how it goes. You know how you get psyched up for new stuff? This is one of those new things that I don't feel especially psyched up about. I think it might be worse in the morning. But the crazy thing is, I AM excited. Way down deep (waaaay down). This could be the start of something beautifully, bountifully and brilliantly bathed in friendship biscuits. (In case you're wondering, "friendship biscuits," is a metaphor for tasting the richness of life through new experiences.) Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere we go!!!!!!!!!!!
