Are you asleep in the light?

This last week I saw a post on Digg.com that just got to me. It was a story about a body frozen in the ice of a basement in Detroit, but not about that, more about how the people around had just kind of accepted it. You can read that story here. Anyway, this really hit home as my wife has been doing a lot of work with our church outreaching to the homeless in our area. Polly has a huge heart, and these guys really touched her. I know Houston does not get cold like Detroit, but it does get cold enough. My pastor brought this news story up on Sunday as part of his sermon (read more on Kathy's Blog)

What really got me is that Keith Green addressed this in a song Called Asleep in the Light, often heard prefaced by a dramatic retelling of the sheep and the goats (he plays both a sheep and a goat). Thanks to the wonders of Youtube, I found both and wanted to share them with friends. Here they are:

Okay so this is from the 70s and Keith does kind of look like the happy plants painter guy, but the message is the same today, as it was then, and even more important about 2000 years ago when Jesus said it originally.
