Night terrors and fears at night

I am not a doctor. I make no claim to know what causes night terrors, or why we have bad dreams. I am only sharing from my own personal experience, and what disturbs my sleep at night. Maybe you have had trouble yourself falling asleep in the evening, or you wake up at 2 in the morning, worrying about this and that! If so, you are not alone! It is not uncommon for many of us to have our worries or fears when we could be sleeping. It happens!

We are vulnerable late at night. At this time, everyone else is sleeping -- we haven't settled our concerns about what went on during our day. There is no one to talk to at that hour, or those who we could talk to have business hours only during daylight hours. They are not available when we need them! Sound familiar? I have laid awake for hours worrying about how my doctor's nurse left me a message to call her back and I forgot! It's Friday night, and I broke a crown eating potato chips! I can't go to church Sunday with a broken front tooth! My truck is making a funny noise. What's up with that? There are a thousand things to worry about lying in bed -- in the dark! We can't solve our problems in the middle of the night. We fret and sweat under the sheets!

So, my "post" is going to be short. I am not going to pretend I have the answers! I don't! What I hope like to achieve in this, my sharing, is to say, "Go easy on yourself late at night." Don't attempt to make serious decisions, that are better considered tomorrow and after the sun comes up! Our fears can take on a much different, lesser scale after our world wakes up and its light outside.

Also, don't forget, Jesus is our morning star! He comes to take away our fears, I believe He will!

Secret Codes of Your Flight Crew

Maybe you have been on a commercial flight and overheard your flight crew use some kind of weird "code-talk". They do this when they need to communicate with each other without the passengers knowing what they are talking about. Could be harmless chatter among themselves or it could be something a lot more serious. Here are 10 examples of their interesting "secret code-talk". 1. "Deadhead": A crew member who is traveling as a passenger only - not on duty. 2. "Slam-click": When a crew member stays in their hotel room until it's time to fly. 3. "Code-bravo": Flight crew uses this term to distract passengers while they may be attempting to take care of a serious problem. 4. "Air pocket": A nice way of saying hold on to your drinks, bumpy ride coming up! 5. "The sin bin": Coming into Vegas? No, it's the area your plane is holding in while waiting to takeoff. 6. "Blue-Juice": Tropical drink? Nope! It is ...

"Bet you can't eat just one!"

Raw Oysters! Some of us will eat them, most won't. That's okay! Granted, raw oyster consumption is not for everyone. I do enjoy eating them! Years ago, a friend of mine, who lived in Maryland had a home at the shore, on the Chesapeake Bay. One weekend he invited me to go with him to gather some clams and oysters so we could prepare a fresh seafood feast for ourselves and our wives. This turned out to be an exciting adventure I'll never forget. It was late in the afternoon - low tide - and it was chilly. It had been raining. We took his dory (small paddle boat) from the beach, where we dug for our clams to a large oyster bed near the inlet and an estuary. The shallow water now revealed thousands of oysters all clustered and growing on top of each other. We had on heavy rubber boots and waders. We pried them apart or...
