It would be nice if I could continue my Sunday from worship to something else that feeds my soul, but I don't think that is going to happen. I must find another day!!!! It looks like Saturday is gonna be the day. Even on my frequent trips back to Vegas and Community Lutheran, I am going to strive to maintain that Sabbath. This will take discipline, but as I practice those things that center me with God, I know that I can make this happen. God is so great. The by product of keeping my sabbath will be that I am taking care of myself physically and well as spiritually. I hope you have a sabbath of your own to keep. Oh that it could be Sunday..to continue to commune with God. If not Sunday, I pray that each of you find a time to just BE. Let God speak to you in the nothingness. Let us all be surprised at what God does!

observing your sabbath
I am becoming more and more convinced that God fully intends us to keep a sabbath. I am not so sure that God is just talking about Sunday and keeping that Holy for worship. We should be worshiping in all that we do, Sunday is the celebration. I am talking about our own personal sabbaths. Those days when we simply do not commit ourselves to anything. In Seminary it is hard to do that. There is always something to read (as you never do get caught up) always something to write, always something assimilate. I have not been faithful in keeping a sabbath since I have been at PSR. Yes...I have gone to church worship services every Sunday, but that has always been followed by getting to the library or cramming for a class, or reading or writing. So what is that day going to be for me...I must find it!!!!

I came upon my personal Sabbath strictly by accident.A few years ago, my Sundays consisted of going to church on Sunday morning and then to Forever Plaid matinee in the afternoon.Then, Plaid closed and now I have several ministries going that take up my Sunday mornings.When I get home from Church, I read, listen to music, write, etc. A few weeks ago, it suddenly dawned on me that my T V had not been turned on to watch anything on Sunday in ages.....The Sunday afternoon, quiet, is Heaven . Reminds me of when Bruce didn't talk for 30 hours in one of his e-votionals not too long ago....God is good...Love, Mary P S Get us those "A"s
