Today is Sabbath, a resting day for me. Can you believe that God told us to rest? It IS rad! He knows that I need it. He knows that you need it.
Look it up - Exodus 20:8-11. We must remember to rest. This command is not some fundamental decree that we follow just because God says so. There is a simple truth in it: Valuing life.
Clarity comes from being still. Example: Surfing.
True, surfers love the ocean for its awesome rides. But they also enjoy the lulls between each set. To be in still glass with your comrades surrounding you...It gives a sense of patience that can only be God. When you are out there, you know that there is something bigger than you.
My brothers and sisters: Let us all reflect on the trials of the last wave and celebrate our life, God's gift. From this rest, we are prepared for the next wave God gives us.
Life is Good.

"To pass from estrangement from God to be a child of God is the basic fact of conversion. That altered relationship with God gives you an altered relationship with yourself, with others, with nature, with the universe." ~E. Stanley Jones
