Ok, given my experiences today this could be a very profound statement. Today I started my new job at MN Teen Challenge and heard testimonies about how God has changed the lives of people who abused drugs, alcohol, and their bodies. However, the awakening I am referring to is a very literal one. Barry and I completely forgot about setting our clocks forward last night for Daylight Savings and I had my alarm set for 5:30am. I normally wake up around 7 or 8 so getting up at what really is 4:30am is not something I do...ever. However, at 4:29 (really 5:29) I woke up, looked at my clock, and thought "ah, 1 more hour of sleep". Then I remembered the time change, jumped out of bed and started getting ready exactly on time to be at my new job by 7am.
I proceeded to have a wonderfully exhausting day at work!
Seeing that I woke up at 4:30 I wasn't exactly excited about running tonight. Barry and I went shopping and picked up some mint chocolate chip ice cream to motivate me through. It helped! Apparently cheap bribes work for me!!

Oh,no! It must have been quite a jolt when you realized you hadn't moved the clock ahead! Would have taken a little explaining on why you were late for your first day on the job! Did you go anywhere? Thanks for sharing in the fun at Disney on Ice! All the kids loved seeing you!
What a day to have the time change, on your first day of work!
I remember one time Jamin and I missed the time change when we were supposed to be teaching Sunday school the next morning. Luckily, one of the other teachers covered for us, and it took me a while to realize how much we'd missed. We were a few minutes behind anyway, and for a while I just thought worship had been super short!
