is it true?

i slept in through iscf (interschool Christian fellowship) again today.
tired from lack of blood. tired from the sleep that drags you down in the mornings.
i guess it's the one day of the week that my sleeping in doesn't affect a car pool much... and it is always nice to sleep in since i have the first period of every morning off but i never get to anyways. but while my mom was driving me to school she commented:

"why dont'; you ever go to iscf anymore?"

"i dunno i can't get up"

"well it seems weird that you go to the events at night but you dont' go in the mornings... like you're unwilling to suffer for Christ."

is it true? i never thought of it in that context. i don'tthink about whether or not i am suffering for Christ when i shove my face into my pillow in the morning. i just think about how tired i am. i suppose that if i as a Christian am unwilling to get up a bit earlier to fellowship and to pray... then why should those who are non Christian see the value in doing so? and it is good. it's relaly great to start the day off with that... but oh the joys of sleep! but i'm reminded of something deb said last night about how we are so priveledged in this country to be able to pray and meet together openly and freely. and how we really shouldn't take it for granted. i guess if we're lucky enough to have it we shoudl use it. i don't think i am unwilling to suffer for Christ if i sleep in ... but i think i will make an effort to drag my butt out of bednext week.
