If you haven't already read "Sabbath?" do that at this time then read this post...
I'm finishing "Leaving Church" by Barbara Brown Taylor.
At this particular point she is reflecting on the importance of the Sabbath...
"With sundown on the Sabbath, I stop seeing the dust balls, the bills, and the laundry. They are still there, but they lose their power over me. One day each week I live as if all my work were done. I live as if the kingdom has come and when I do the kingdom comes, for one day at least. Now, when I know the Sabbath is near, I can feel the anticipation bubbling up inside of me.Sabbath is no longer a good idea or even a spiritual discipline for me. It is my regular date with the Divine Presence that enlivens both body and soul" (from page 228)
To add anything at this point would be mere commentary.
