The Afternoon Nap

I had to wake up early this morning for my weekly Tuesday lab, which meant that I only got about 6 hours of sleep last night. I've been feeling on the brink of health for a few days now, so I feel that I need as much sleep as I can get. Also I had to teach the Beginning Swing class tonight because our teachers missed a day and didn't want to make it up. So in order to boost my health a bit and to give me more energy, I decided to take a brief 1-hour nap this afternoon. Afternoon naps are usually some of the strangest naps with the strangest dreams. At the end of my nap today, I found myself in a cathedral surrounded by a few choir directors I know, and it seems that my brother has just made another "brilliant" composition to be played in the church. These directors, whom I know, are telling me how wonderful the song was and they tell me that the text was taken from Genesis 4:6. At about this time, I am lulled back into conciousness as my alarm goes off. I sit up and then after a moment, grab my Bible and thumb to the "inspiring" verse, which reads:

"Then the Lord said to Cain, ‘Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?’”

I think my dreams have finally gone from weird to just plain lame. As for the song, I think I should dedicate myself to compose a "brilliant" choir piece to this verse. Maybe it's one of those "Field of Dreams" things, where if I compose it, they will come. Until that happens, I really need to lay off my afternoon naps.
