life is Better between the trees
Here are some things you might not know about me. First, I work third shift; secondly, I work inside a building that is inside a building. If that's not bad enough, I'm inside a gown from head to toe not allowing my body to have any exposure! That is a lot to cover up. For this story, we are going to talk about my working a third shift. A couple years ago on a Sunday morning, I caught a ride to church with my son as I would often do because he went early to do media. I went to a room upstairs where there were open rafters making a nifty spot that I could hang my hammock. I then slept until service started. I’ve been doing this for a while so I could get some extra sleep on Sundays. I forgot to mention I work 12's on the weekends and don't get much rest. So, I get set up, and I'm hanging there asleep when I hear someone messing with the door. I figured it was some kids messing around because this had been the case in the past. So, I stir a bit and check my phone noticing it is time get up. I climbed out of my hammock and started packing up my gear. I was just about finished, and I heard the door again. I paused. Then, I heard the sound of someone creeping up the stairs. I watched the corner to see who it was, and then a head popped around the corner. A voice said, “Who is up here?” I laughed saying, “It’s just me, Ernie." A relieved voice said, “I heard snoring and thought we had a vagrant." I thought that was pretty funny, so after church I went up to Pastor to let him know they had found a vagrant in the upstairs classroom. He was like, "Really?! Where is he now?" I said “Well…right here. It was just me sleeping upstairs before church, and they thought I was a vagrant." That was my hammock adventure - I suppose it's not much of an adventure, but it's a funny story nonetheless. If you liked it, good. If not, sorry! True story though! Y'all have a blessed week! EB

Revelation 14:13 ¶ And I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write this down: Blessed are those who (sleep) in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, they are blessed indeed, for they will rest from their hard work; for their good deeds follow them!"
