It’s easy to fall asleep if you’re seated. I know the feeling—it’s warm, the light is low, there’s a soft white noise from an air filter, you’re tired. But it’s easier to stay awake if you’re on your knees rather than seated. If you’re like me, middle-aged aches and creaks will keep you awake!

Well, I start out that way (on my knees) every time, but I sometimes have a problem with hellacious full leg cramps (calves, thighs, etc., all at the same time), and they tend to impede the clarity and reverence of my prayers.

So, when I am later sitting there and praying and the "peace that passes understanding" overcomes me during adoration, my adoration partner usually rudely pokes me to wake me up and stop my spiritual snoring!

It doesn't happen to me every time, just occasionally. However, I do wish that I could spend at least an hour with the Lord each time, thinking sublime meditations, and praying glorious heavenly prayers, and never have to encounter the "snooze alarm".   :-)
