Wake up alarms

Alarms are designed to make us feel alarmed (frightened, worried, concerned, scared, disturbed, panicky or in danger).

I have studied my sleep pattern and realised that wake up alarms give me an unnecessary anxiety. The alarm never comes on at the perfect time.

I basically set my alarm to meet other people’s expectations, not allowing my body to go through its complete cycle of rejuvenation.

Today, it stops. No more wake up alarms.

My body will rest and be attuned to a waking time that is in sync with every part of me.

This will mean I have to also sleep early. No needless late nights.

I will try it out for one month and pay attention to the results, using my energy levels immediately after wake up time as a metric.

I will share the results in the future.

Repent and Obey

Luke 11:29-32
When the crowds were increasing, he began to say, “This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of Jonah.
For as Jonah became a sign to the men of Nin’eveh, so will the Son of man be to this generation.
The queen of the South will arise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.
The men of Nin’eveh will arise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.

Homily:

What further signs do you need to know that God loves you and that He wants you to repent from the ease with which you give in to temptation and promote evil?

What greater sign do you need than the sign of the cross and the resurrection?

What greater sign are you seeking than what is already written in the bible?

Pay attention to your life. Do you not see His work?

Read the bible. God has not changed and His promises remain.

Only one sign is now required – Your repentance and obedience to His word.
