Beautifully written and a beautiful, vital message.Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14326334744663035622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17692816.post-20987031232132508172007-10-01T21:08:09.009-04:002007-10-01T21:08:09.009-04:00Sabbath, yup and earth-time. As in, putting your feet on it. Or your butt. I think our bodies miss the ground. And that makes us tired.ljhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03807633102907921517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17692816.post-7619215299171816112007-10-01T20:29:18.908-04:002007-10-01T20:29:18.908-04:00Preach it!<BR/><BR/>I'm loving the Sabbath Experiment. Granted I am still drag-a$$ing around a lot of the time, but at least I know, a chunk of rest is always less than a week away.<BR/><BR/>And if anyone needs encouragement to put their feet up with a nice cup of fragrant hot tea this evening, the word verification is "hrbal."reverendmotherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07457532866087494676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17692816.post-56996139906353979992007-10-01T16:24:44.657-04:002007-10-01T16:24:44.657-04:00This is such a good and thoughtful post.<BR/>Thanks.<BR/><BR/>PS: I have done the Avon Walk and will be walking again this coming June. You could come, too. It's the opposite of tiring...Jiffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04107175348265816279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17692816.post-72879526961990494102007-10-01T14:20:44.468-04:002007-10-01T14:20:44.468-04:00I've always appreciated the BBT quote along the lines that Sabbath was something we were so reluctant to take that God had to make it a commandment. God knows what it's like to be tired, and I know God doesn't want us in that state all the time! But I know what tired is, too.Laura Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01587430788060947041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17692816.post-11851020479601940912007-10-01T12:05:24.269-04:002007-10-01T12:05:24.269-04:00Right on, Jan. This expresses well why I have discontinued blogging. I am limiting my computer time to maximum 1 hour/day and using the additional hours I was "sitting" at computer, for endeavors that for me are more meaningful and healthy ...walking, reading, and engaging in one-on-one, personal, real-time conversation.

Aint' it the truth?<BR/><BR/>I've pared my life down to just essentials (blogging being the only self care item I have left) and I still have no time. <BR/><BR/>...and yet somehow I have the feeling that this is the idea for us. Cause now we're too tired to make any profound change like society was able to do in the sixties.Presbyterian Galhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02785984092226524603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17692816.post-85798346424324904312007-10-01T11:03:51.386-04:002007-10-01T11:03:51.386-04:00Trying today.
