Getting enough sleep is something that I very clearly need to work on — I'm writing this image caption at 8:00 in the morning, after staying up most of the night. The soldier in this photograph is going to be my role model for being able to sleep. If a soldier can sleep on the roof of a truck, in training for sleeping in the middle of a war zone — then I can learn to sleep too.

The Bible tells us in 2 Timothy 2 to be as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. It's an important part of health to get enough sleep. So that means it's something I must discipline myself to do.

From now on, I'm going to train myself to make sure that I get enough proper sleep. Mostly this is just going to involve forcing myself to go to bed at a reasonable time. Which means that other things may not get done... But sleep is important for the health of my body. Which is a temple of God's Holy Spirit.
