I just finished reading a book on marriage, well sort of on marriage it was about how to prepare for marriage.
I must say I think this book could really help almost anyone who knows they are going to get married. It outlines how God should be your #1, and your potential spouse will always be #2. The book does a great job of going over and explaining how much baggage we bring to a marriage and how most people spend hours talking during dating but one of the most common things in marriages people say they need to work on is communication. How can that be?

Constant state of Motion
I just finished reading a great book on The Sabbath. But if it was something so important that God had it in his top ten list of things he wanted us to know, then why do so many people not even think about remembering the Sabbath and keeping it holy. I mean don't let this come off as I have it all together and I honor the Sabbath every week, I don't believe I have ever given thought to the Sabbath. I wonder home many modern Jews remember the Sabbath, and of those that actually do it, how many of them are American Jews.
But back to the book, the way the Sabbath was described so so beautiful and poetic, he often went into great detail describing it as a bride, or queen something to be adored and honored and greatly loved.
I was so blown away, not that I decided to take a sabbath yet, just another one of those things I know that God would love to bless my life with but I am to self consumed and lazy to really step out there and do it.
But what would it be like, to have a day to fully recharge for the coming week, and to unwind from the previous week. I mean no matter how much work we do, there will always be more work to do, so what would taken one day a week to sit back and realize we will never have it all figured out, no matter how hard we try we can make the world go round.
definitely going to have to continue this post when I fully digest the thoughts running around in my head. +
