The Jews rest on Saturday, most Christians rest on Sunday, but I rest on Monday. Today was a good rest day. Slept in until 9 am, ate a nice breakfast with my beautiful wife, and took a nap around 2 pm. Most of the day I piddled around outside doing odd jobs for my wife and daughter Sherri. Came in for a coffe break about every 30 minutes and read my Bible, memorized some verses for about 15 minutes and then went back outside to cross off another “honey do”. It was a very relaxing day. I can tell if I had a good rest day if at the end of it I am excited about the next day and getting a lot done. I will read the passage in John 5 about a dozen times that I will preach about this next week this evening and probably get some good ideas and direction while I am sleeping on how to teach it. Looking forward to next Monday and the National Championship game between Oregon and Ohio State. Most people even on a day off from work don’t really rest. Most can’t rest from everything, but even back in the days when I milked cows 7 days a week I got in a good rest day. Rest is So important to keeping a good attitude  when life gets tough.
