Areas of Improvement

God reminded me at 3am last night of one specific area of my life that could use some continual improvement. However, I'd like to preface this with my excuse first: I'm NOT the most friendly person in the world when I'm tired.

Let me tell you a story...
It's hot, stickin' hot, up here in Canada (believe it or not, all you Americans). This is the only time I will complain about heat, because I'd rather live in this type of climate all year round, than suffer through the frigged, cold, winter. On warm nights, my wife and I usually turn our A/C on a timer for 1-2 hours (just long enough for us to fall asleep). Last night however, it was so hot that we didn't sleep well. My lovely wife (who is due in August, by the way) got up to turn the A/C back on again for another 1-2 hours. Every time you press a button on our A/C unit, it beeps (we'll call that a feature). It went something like this: Power button - beep, Fan/Cool set - beep, Rotating fan on - beep, Timer set 0 hrs - beep, Timer set 1 hrs - beep, Timer set 2 hrs - beep...

By that time I had woken up and somewhat grumpily asked, "What are you doing!?!?". My lovely wife replied, "Turning the A/C back on". And then she said with a playfully sarcastic tone, "What are you doing?". This is the part where God revealed to me what I need to work on in my life. I replied, "NOT PRESSING 100 BEEPING BUTTONS!". And back to sleep I fell, with a cool breeze over me, and a lovely pregnant wife beside me.

Maybe this is why I've always schedule my concerts for earlier in the evening... Apparently I need my beauty sleep -- Or a swift kick in the...
