Key Takeaways:

• Sleep is a daily reminder that we are human, that God is God, and that we must rely on Him for true rest and rejuvenation
  
• Life is technicolor, not monochrome, and the very fact that color exists as a spectrum demonstrates the lavish creativity of God
  
• Love is much more than a word - and is manifested through the actions and existence of Jesus of Nazareth
  
• Times of transition are more than “in-between times” - they are especially strategic and noteworthy occasions where God chooses to make Himself known
  
• The Gospel is the greatest monster story ever told
