And the #1 reason I'm not into strict Biblical translation....
"And what I say to you I say to all: Keep awake."
And that's just gonna wear you out. I mean, I ingest more than my fair share of caffeine -- just glance in The Star's aluminum can recycle bin, my Sam's Choice colas have all those other brands outnumbered, outgunned and surrounded like televangelists on a can of hair spray.
But at some point between now and His second coming I'm gonna need a nap.
This was a reading in my church this weekend. Next thing you know the folks in those churches that handle venomous snakes ("They shall take up serpents....") will be popping No-Doze.
Mark 13:33-37
33Beware, keep alert; for you do not know when the time will come. 34It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home ... and commands the doorkeeper to be on the watch. 35Therefore, keep awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or at dawn, 36or else he may find you asleep when he comes suddenly. 37And what I say to you I say to all: Keep awake.’
Mark 16:18
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them

That is true, but it was not written about me or to incourage me to join them. Those snake handlers can stay in Ga. and drink their kool-aid.
