Jamey Bennett of RazorMouth has written a good column entitled God Gave Rest which discusses the Sabbath:

The Sabbath is a day to celebrate the resurrection of Christ, and the rest and freedom we?ve been given when Christ set us free. It is a day to eat until stuffed, to drink wine until the cheeks are ruddy red, and to laugh until the belly hurts. The Sabbath is a day to remember Christ crucifed and then leap for joy to remember Christ is risen.

That's something I needed to hear. I generally do look forward to attending church, worshipping, and hearing the Word preached on Sundays. I also enjoy the fellowship of spending time with Joel and April, and occasionally other friends, after church -- sharing a meal and conversation. I'm thankful for all of that, and yet I don't always remember to rest. I'll sit down at the computer and work on one project or another, thinking, "I need to get this done" which is really just saying "I need to make sure I have what I need" or, put more strongly, "I don't fully trust God to provide for my needs."
