Well, I overslept. By a lot. Was supposed to be at church at 8:00 for the 8:30 service.. when I awoke the clock read 9:15. Gulp. We had worked on a special piece of music for the prelude. Thankfully I'm just an ornamental instrument, but I feel terrible. Just made it in for 10am Sunday School, where I had to open the class in prayer.I just hate it when I miss the alarms. I don't even remember that the alarm went off, but I'm sure it did - I remember turning it on last night. And I don't think it was an AM/PM mix-up, but you can be sure I'll check on that tonite, as well as setting a second alarm clock - this one will play music in the bathroom for about an hour before the beeping alarm starts.
"Pride cometh before a fall".. that verse did pop into my head.. I was so excited about wearing those red shoes (I did by the way, and they were fabulous).. perhaps I was too prideful about them and this was the punishment. Does it work like that? Does God punish us that immediately, or did I just oversleep because I went to bed too late? Do I have a wrong view of God that I even ask the question?
I'm not sure. But perhaps tonite I won't fantasize about fabulous shoes until the wee hours...

Yea, the good ol' days, when you could sleep past your responsibilities at church. These days my service is at 5pm and somehow the whole "I overslept" thing just doesn't fly anymore : )
