The best nap I ever had was in church.
I realize that I shouldn't be telling you this, and somewhere a parent may get angry; but the fact is, I have never, ever, slumbered so well as I did that Saturday morning in the sanctuary in Minnesota several years ago.
" I was you age, and had spent all day Friday traveling up north to visit relatives for a long weekend. After getting in late and talking with the kinfolk till even later, I only managed a few hours of sleep before it was time to rise and shine and give God the glory..."
"I'm not sure who spoke at church that day, but their voice had a certain numbing effect on the mind, and it wasn't long before I began losing the battle to stay awake....I...fell into a deep sleep. I don't know what I dreamed about that fateful Saturday morning, but as I was coming to I kept hearing this snorting and heavy breathing, and it seemed to be getting louder. Finally it got so loud I had to open my eyes and look around...There was no more noise, but my eyes met the stares of several pious churchgoers who looked as though they had eaten something sour. I turned around and faced forward again, and that's when it dawned on me.
"I had been woken by my own snoring."
That's Seth Pierce for ya. He's honest and willing to share his own embarrassments as he crossed the bridge from old child to young adult.
