Change the first morning poopy diaper. That’s all it takes to keep my eyes wide open for a while!

Try a double shot of Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee “Vooba Vooba Espresso” (order at http://drinkcoffeedogood.com or BUY IT AT CATALYST!) with a bit of steamed milk, a touch of sugar, and a LOT of ice! If it fails to work, REPEAT UNTIL EXTREMELY CAFFINATED!

See you at catalyst!

Oh, if you are addicted to Saturday night t.v.- tape it and watch it after church on Sunday – just before your nap.

I mainline Starbucks!

All the above plus:

STARBUCKS TIPS:
1. Go to Starbucks on Saturday, order your drink made ICED, with very light ice. Pop it in your fridge and simply take it out in the morning, add ice and start getting caffeinated. Plus this eliminates one of the stops on your way to church (interpretation: 15 minutes more of sleeping).
2. If you like hot drinks; still order your drink on Saturday ICED. This way the milk isn’t steamed. You could heat it up in the microwave (in an appropriate microwavable cup)
3. When you order your drink: add one (or two) energy packets to your drink. It is comprised of ginseng, B-12 vitamins and guarana extract (a highly caffeinated Latin American fruit). It’s good in hot or cold drinks. Doesn’t change the taste at all. I’ll even use it in lemonade (for you non-coffee drinkers out there)
4. If you have a milk based drink, consider adding protein powder. This gives you a more sustained energy through out the morning. Personally I only like this in hot drinks.

A wise old dude once said, “THE BATTLE IS WON OR LOST THE NIGHT BEFORE”
Here’s how I have applied that to stay sharp for leading worship/ministering Sunday am’s
1. PLan everything the night before (outfit, everything I need to take in the morning, etc)
2. Eat dinner earlier on Saturday night (preferably no food after 8 pm)
3. No junk like soda, sugar, donuts, or the like on Saturday night – only healthy snacks are allowed
4. Wake up at 4:30 and leave my house at 5 to be at church by 5:30.
5. Read the Psalm and Proverb of the day and any other verses on my heart or relating to the worship set.
6. Turn on the sound system and practice the worship set all by myself – just me and JC
7. DOn’t eat until I have finished all 4 services – if necessary some fruit – otherwise a cup of coffee and lots of water –
8. Quote Phillipians 4:13 to myself all day and believe God for the energy to lead a rehearsal and 4 services in a sunday.
9. Watch God’s Word come through for me every week…

And good suggestion about not lingering near dimly lit areas, couches, anything that might trigger the sleep reflex – stay engaged all day long..

Stay strong my friend! His joy is our strength..
