What, that doesn’t make perfect sense to you?

I liked that Jayrod said “badass”.

And I’m praying your middle name isn’t George.

I’m planning on enjoying a Sabbath today!

I brought this up with a professor in class on Friday. This was his response:

Sabbath is meant to be a time of worship and reflection. Worship of who God is, and reflection on who we are called to be. It is in this time of “resting” that we are truly given an opportunity to align ourselves with the divine perspective.

that’s pretty badass of you ask me.

I’m still trying to figure out what the Sabbath means exactly. But I do think that its different for each person. I mean Sabbath is a time of rest but rest for you is probably different than rest for me. I don’t think you can come up with a certain list of things to do or not do on the Sabbath.
I love that God calls us to stop and rest. I love he made the Sabbath for US.

i don’t know what i think. except, i do think that to find rest in Christ, we generally do have to be resting physically as well. even when i try to pray while i’m doing something as simple as taking a shower, i get distracted a lot of times. so i think that it is important to find times to set aside for actual resting, and use that time for your Sabbath. i’m not saying that an entire day has to be dedicated to being still and resting physically, but i do think that your set aside time for rest should be free of the game on tv, or walking around with friends, or raking leaves.
