I've not been sleeping well lately, and I think it's catching up to me.

Brain gone to mush?

Half an hour before you go to bed, eat a banana and ensure the last thing you listen to is 'Miserere Mei Deus, Gregorio Allegri.'

A sterling suggestion. I must try it.

Well you seem to have been on a “Romans1009” and stayed up all night posting.

That is not a day I hold as a special or significant day. I hold no days as especially significant except the day that is today.

That’s not true, tiger. You love St. Patty’s Day when you can drink green lager - and for half-price!

Still on your mind?

You just can’t stop thinking about me.

Do you mark Ascension Day?

I "mark" every jot and tittle.

'Atonement', of course, is also a central tenet of the Christianity faith. With this in mind, 'why' is the day 'Jesus rose from the dead' the only really significant day for all true believers?

That's a great question considering I said I believe the most significant day was the day Jesus rose from the dead. Of course there is also the day Jesus was crucified, and I think the two are essentially equally important, as I also believe there are many other "days" and events too numerous to list that are very important as well.

But the resurrection is of utmost significance. Death conquered and the promise of life everlasting.

Do you remember the day you were saved?

In my opinion, the Resurrection (Easter, Resurrection Day) is most important. Without it, Jesus Christ was just a good man who was unjustly executed and all of us are still dead in our sins.

“Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:

And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:

And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.”

(1 Corinthians 15:12-17)

And you seem to be on a tear to make anything and everything, no matter how droll, your business.
