In Rediscovering Sabbath Rest, Mark Early brings further attention to the “Secular Sabbath” that seems to be gaining steam in the secular world.
As I mentioned in What? Me, Unplug?, I know I should try this myself. I’m always plugged in, even on Sunday.
I remember years ago hearing about how even non-devout Christian families would do all their chores on Saturday, even food preparation, so that Sunday would be wholly devoted to God. I freely acknowledge that I discredited their ideals at the time. I am not so quick to do so now.
That’s one of my rules: “Drink on Saturday; rest on Sunday.”
…okay, it’s more of a guideline than a rule.
