So…I did actually take a full day off for the first time in a long time..
the best part of the day was the time I spent alone with God. Those were some pretty good moments.
The rest — well, I got a few things done, and a little relaxing done, and I did stop in to have lunch with my wife…but most of the time I was WORKING at not working. And a lot of the time, I kept thinking about what I still needed to do for work….and to get things ready for the weekend services,and then saying to myself, “No, I can’t work on that today.”
And I didn’t… and that was good. It’s just that thinking so much about working at not working felt a lot like…well, WORK.
But this week’s another opportunity for Sabbath. And, this week, my who family’s off together. Looking forward to it.
BTW…how’s your journey into Sabbath going?
But I’ve still got a ways to go in making that day off a full “sabbath.”

I’m proud of you, Pastor. Keep it up and it will come more naturally. Sounds like me trying to get to sleep at night. I lie awake thinking of how badly I need to get a good night’s sleep and, if I’m lucky, finally fall to sleep between 2 and 4 AM. I have to work at making myself stay in bed and not get up and get something done since I’m awake anyway. But I’m learning a lot of Scripture verses : )
