Guys if you get a minute listen to the song by Casting Crowns, "While You Were Sleeping". Take a minute and really listen to the words. I heard this song the other morning on my way to work and it touched my heart. Listening to it right now brings tears to my eyes and these tears have nothing to do with this pregnancy.
Bethlehem had no room for our King and he slept in a manger on his Birth Night. Bethlehem was too busy sleeping to realize. Jerusalem had no room for our King. They had room for the cross though. Crucify him! Crucify him!
America’s forefathers traveled miles and miles on small boats fairing an unforgiving sea for a forgiving King. We are too busy these days trying to save the planet, a task that never will be completed, that we don’t give abortions or lost souls a second thought.
Forget saving the planet! Let’s make an attempt to save the lost soul living next door and to stop abortions. Life begins at conception. Not when you choose. The planet has a destiny, one you have no control over. Have you heard about what happens after the Rapture?
That silent night will come. Will you be sleeping?
Oh little town of Bethlehem

Oh little town of Bethlehem
Looks like another silent night
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
A giant star lights up the sky
And while you're lying in the dark
There shines an everlasting light
For the King has left His throne
And is sleeping in a manger tonight
Oh Bethlehem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
For God became a man
And stepped into your world today
Oh Bethlehem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping
Oh little town of Jerusalem
Looks like another silent night
The Father gave His only Son
The Way, the Truth, the Life had come
But there was no room for Him in the world He came to save
Jerusalem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
The Savior of the world is dying on your cross today
Jerusalem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping
United States of America
Looks like another silent night
As we're sung to sleep by philosophies
That save the trees and kill the children
And while we're lying in the dark
There's a shout heard 'cross the eastern sky
For the Bridegroom has returned
And has carried His bride away in the night
America, what will we miss while we are sleeping
Will Jesus come again
And leave us slumbering where we lay
America, will we go down in history
As a nation with no room for its King
Will we be sleeping
Will we be sleeping
United States of America
Looks like another silent night
