Turning Point: Nap Time's Over, Beloved

I'm not much of a napper. I've found, over the years, that whenever I give in to an afternoon snooze, not only do I feel groggy when I wake up, but I can't get to sleep at night when I should. Now of course I know naps can be refreshing and even a necessity for some (yes you, Deb), but for me I've found it more beneficial to press on through my day and fall into my comfy bed for the night.

There are however, times when try as I might, I can't seem to fight off the sleepies. I wish I could say it's all from my hard day's work, bustin' my backside, yada yada... But the truth is, I am usually overcome when I am sitting and at rest. I let down my guard and settle into my "mode"... relaxing, often reading, maybe staring blankly at the t.v., maybe praying...

...Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to His disciples, "Sit here while I go over there and pray." And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and distressed.
Then He said to them, "My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; Stay here and keep awake and keep watch with Me."
And going a little farther, He threw Himself upon the ground on His face and prayed saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup be taken from Me; nevertheless, not what I will [not what I desire], but as You will and desire."
And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and He said to Peter, "What! Are you so utterly unable to stay awake and keep watch with Me for one hour?
All of you must keep awake (give strict attention, be cautious and active) and watch and pray, that you may not come into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done."
Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.
Then He came to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand"...
