over the last 2 days - i have been reading (blogs) and listening (podcasts) to people who have been talking a lot about the sabbath. it seems to be a popular topic this week or my wife has been setting me up for something. not sure which.
anyway, the point being made by all the conversations is that we should take the sabbath seriously. i am not talking about sunday, going to church and not doing any work. i am talking about a day of rest. a day to hang out. a day to fly a kite. a day to throw football with your kids. a day to take your girlfriend to the beach to watch the waves. a day to cut the roof off your car, turn it into a convertible, grab your family, and head out to skyline drive to breathe in the cool air. a day to enjoy life! maybe even keep your pj's on and veg. what does your sabbath look like?
if you are like most of us, it is full of stuff to do. pick a day during the week (probably not a good idea to do it during work hours) and enjoy life! no to-do lists! no job that has to be done! no emails! no phone calls! no wasting the day with something productive! but just a time to relax to get your mind together for your 6 days of creation.
hey, even God understood this. too bad we don't. seemed to have worked well for him. now, what day do i want to lay on my couch all day...
