Sundays to me are in no way a Sabbath, with the many church activities people get involved in it's often the busiest day of the weekend.
So here are some things which might help make a new Sabbath somewhere in your week, 2 are stops, 2 are starts, to me No.4 is the most important if you can't manage the rest:
- Turn off your mobile, don't pick up messages or return calls. I guess the same goes for texts, email, Twitter, Facebook etc. Does this make you feel like a nobody?
- Think of the one thing that you 'couldn't live without' and drop it. Or at least attempt to. For some people this will be covered in point no.1. For some this may be television, computer games, alcohol.
- Try and find God in the ordinary. Rob's challenge was that if you don't find God in the ordinary you ain't gonna find him in the mountain top experience.
- Do something that makes you feel alive. My thinking is that when we do these things we begin to worship God with everything we have. For me these activities would include getting out in nature (twitching), watching the sunset, playing the guitar, writing....
When I do things I really love my heart literally feels like it will explode from my chest.
P.S. - Today's happiness ... starting a new book which feels like it was written for me.
