Scheduled Nap

Matthew 26:40 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter.

As I start my morning with CNN in the background, I hear of yet another Air Traffic Controller asleep at work. This time there is a twist. He was taking a "scheduled" 5-hour nap, as another controller landed seven plans. This time is different from last time. He knew there was someone else to land the planes. Last time this type of story hit the news their was no other person to help the pilots land their planes.

Have we arrived at a place in America that pride in our workmanship is so low that we rather take a nap than make sure of the safety of others? Build in America is no longer possible to take pride in. It is hard enough to find enough items to build a simple house with American made products. We don't want American. We want inexpensive. We don't want a good job. We want an easy job.

When I think of these stories, I think of the disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane. The disciples asleep at work.

We live today as Christians many times alseep at work, should I say asleep in the pew. We are called to spread the Gospel. We are called to show God's love, but many of us are asleep. We think God will take care of it, and we will help later. We are called to "go ye therefore into all the world," not go ye therefore after you take a nap.
