In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

I hear the birds chirping.
I see the morning sun rise.
I want everything to be perfect for one day.

I touch the sheets as I get out of bed.
I worry about what the day may bring.
I cry for waking up is just a pain.
I am vibrant and straightforward.
I understand I must get up.
I say to the clock “I hate you”
I dream about going back to bed.
I try getting ready and succeed.

13. 12
When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see,
For all the day they view things unrespected;
But when I sleep, in dreams they look on thee,
And darkly bright, are bright in dark directed.
Then thou, whose shadow shadows doth make
bright,
How would thy shadow's form form happy show
To the clear day with thy much clearer light,
When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines so!
How would, I say, mine eyes be blessed made
By looking on thee in the living day,
When in dead night thy fair imperfect shade
Through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay!
All days are nights to see till I see thee,
And nights bright days when dreams do show
thee me.

Night
In the dark black sky the stars shine brightly.
The sun has gone down and it’s time to sleep.
Its time to take showers and say prayers.
Thank god for your family and your pets.
Falling asleep is always the hardest.
Turn on your night light and try to relax.
Count the sheep that fly over your bed frame.
Fall into a deep dream about the moon.
You are an astronaut flying in your ship.
You land the ship and begin to get out.
The view is so gorgeous and astounding.
I get into the rocket; Time to go.
I just land in my bed as my mom calls.
Its time to get up breakfast is ready.
