From the book, "The Christian Handbook", Augsburg Books, comes suggestions on how to stay alert (awake?) in church.
1. Get enough sleep. Try your best to turn in early on Saturday nights.
2. Drink plenty of water, though not too much. It is easier to remain alert when you are well hydrated.
3. Eat a high protein breakfast. If your diet allows it, eat foods high in protein. Eating a breakfast with high sugar intake can make you drowsy.
4. Focus on your posture. Sit up straight. Avoid slouching as this encourges sleepiness.
5. If all else fails, consider pinching yourself. Dig your nails into the fleshy part of your arm or leg and pinch yourself.
If these steps don't work or they cause problems, you didn't hear it from me.
'Til the storm passes,
Pastor Gary
