What does a Sabbath look like for you?

June 24, 2006


Eugene Peterson recently shared his Sabbath rituals - which, by the way, he practices on Mondays. For many of us involved in ministry, Sunday is hardly a day of rest. In the most recent podcast we also find out that Rob Bell practices the Sabbath on Saturday. Peterson's description of Sabbath was that of "unplugging." God gives us clear instruction on the Sabbath, so why is it so hard to do? Do you practice the idea of Sabbath? How do you unplug from the world and plug into the "rest of God" (as Mark Buchanan so eloquently puts it)?
