Re: Sabbath

Each religion has its own day and they have their own requirements for what is a “Sabbath” or day of rest. I choose the seventh day (Saturday) but that’s not my point. My point is that in all of creation there is the example of rest that the books of many religions seem to capture and put it into words.

I try to observe the Sabbath Day and when I do things go better. I get a rhythm to my life that includes recharging for the next six days. My physical health is better and my mental and spiritual health is much better too.

It is interesting that when you mention something like this and use a name for it that religions use people become defensive and reject it. Did I say people needed to join a religious group to observe and benefit from a Sabbath day? What if I had said I heard the UN was going to declare a Worldwide Day of Rest?
