OK, I’m going to get annoying with the Don Miller quotes pretty quickly, but let me get one more in. Just one more, I promise! Miller is one of those writers who every so often pulls off a paragraph that you just have to read out loud to someone. Normally that duty falls on my LSW (Long Suffering Wife), but she’s way too deep into something called a “pericope” right now for me to interrupt her. She’s not happy when I make her lose which disjunctive-waw she was pondering. So you get the quote:

…there aren’t many pleasures I enjoy more than sleep. I sleep until I am done, normally, and haven’t set an alarm in years. I’m not lazy, mind you, I just find it odd anybody would program a machine to wake them. God made the brain so it would wake on its own, and as a follower of Jesus, I am strictly adherent to His system. Call me a fundamentalist if you want.

Back when we were still homeowners, I was this way about leaves. While all the other guys spent hours raking their lawns, I decided that there was something sacreligious about me trying to fight nature’s way. Besides, soon enough the snow would come and we wouldn’t even be able to see the leaves for months (this was in upstate New York). And in the spring, the decaying leaves served as natural mulch, saving us a lot of money. This all made a great deal of sense to me. See, it’s a good thing I didn’t share this with Karyn after all, because somehow that never made any sense to her.
