Stay Alert and Sober

Paulcoholic had a great reflection on today's reading from 1 Thessalonians:

Therefore, let us not sleep as the rest do, but let us stay alert and sober.

Those who sleep go to sleep at night, and those who are drunk get drunk at night.

But since we are of the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love and the helmet that is hope for salvation.

For God did not destine us for wrath, but to gain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep we may live together with him.

Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, as indeed you do.

Sorry for the delay in expressing gratitude for your linking to this post of mine, I'm still rough around the edges in using some of this technorati-blogger-feedburner-whatever stuff. Thank you!
