Older than Methuselah...

Well, I have been pondering over scriptures.   UGH.   Have you ever been reading along...or after reading, pondering about what you have read and your mind wanders...instead of ponders?   Here is an example.   I haven't been able to sleep lately...I seem to hate night time for some reason and when I go to bed I lay there...praying, thinking, fretting, working in my mind, and doing everything but relaxing.   I will stay up late...or early in the morning doing things and get pretty tired and go to bed and still can't sleep...so last evening...I went to bed...actually this morning at 2:38am...I had been looking at some books and got so tired I had to put them down...went to bed and lay there for 2 hours thinking of everything and couldn't shut my mind off...so I got up.    I have been thinking...how long can I not sleep?   How many hours can I go before I have a heart attack or something from lack of sleep?  
Now back to Methuselah...Did you know or remember Methuselah was the son of Enoch?   Enoch, the one who he and his righteous city, which was so righteous, was taken up to heaven.   Well, Methuselah was not taken!!!!!  Can you imagine being righteous and everyone goes except you...or maybe others but they took your dad...your whole city and not you!   Well, he is the  granddad of Noah.   If he hadn't been on this earth the whole Noah and the Ark wouldn't have been...So, I thought a bit about that...hmmmm.
Anywho...so I was thinking about Methuselah and wondering how much he didn't sleep?   Going back to my lack of sleep.   Do you know he lived to be 969 years old.   Now we think someone who lives to be 100 is old!!!!!!   Can you imagine Willard Scott on the morning show announcing..."And today near Canaan is Methuselah who is 969 years old today!!!!!!!!"  WOW!!!
Now that would get you on Good Morning America...if you could move to get there...
So I digress:  there is a point to this and it is this...    If Methuselah averaged just 6 hours of sleep a day for his 969 years...he slept 242.25 years!    I am telling you!
So this is the way I ponder my scripture reading!  I guess I need to try something new!
Hope all of you have a great day...and even if we oversleep a bit we will NEVER beat Methuselah's sleep record...or for that matter his age at death!
