Work like an Armenian, Sleep like a Calvinist?

I don’t get it..why can only Calvinists “sleep well”?  I don’t know whether I’m Calvinist or Armenian..all I know is that I can rest fully in Christ.  I am saved by grace through faith, not of myself, but in Christ alone.  I can boast only in Christ.  He is my rock and my salvation.  Salvation comes from the Lord.  The gospel of Christ bought our justification, reconciliation, sanctification and so much more.  I am free from sin, and rest in knowing that He who started a good work in me will finish it. 

“And so I submit for your consideration that we live and sleep simply as Christians. We should work hard without reservation and we can sleep well knowing God is sovereign.” – from http://caffeinatedthoughts.com/2010/04/work-like-an-arminian-sleep-like-a-calvinist/

If Christians can say that we can’t explain the Trinity because we can’t understand God with our limited minds, then why do we need to try to explain Calvinism and Armenianism?
