saturday or sunday? decisions, decisions...

since i hate sunday so much, someone at church gave me this book called "keeping the sabbath wholly." she thinks it will help release my tension and make me enjoy the day again.

it took her a month or so to get it to me, because someone else at church was reading it.

and when she did give it to me, she pointed out that someone else at church had written their name in it, because they read it too.

and the book is worn from being read so much.

so already, i'm a fan! i love that i'm sharing this book with other people at my church.

the dedication in the front of the book:

"This book is dedicated to all the people who need the Sabbath -

the busiest, who need to work from a cohesive, unfragmented self;

social activists, who need a cycle of worship and action;

those who chase after fulfillment and need to understand their deepest yearnings and to hear the silence;

those who have lost their ability to play because of the materialism and technologization of our society, who need beauty and gaiety and delight;

those who have lost their passion and need to get in touch with feelings;

those who are alone and need emotional nourishment;

those who live in community and need solitude;

those who cannot find their life's priorities and need a new perspective;

those who think the future is dictated by the present, who need hope and visions of the future to change the present order..."


sounds good to me.
