Thanks to some great participation, our Group Writing Project has seen a number of excellent insights to the idea of Sabbath Rest. It’s not too late for you…see the end of the post for more details.

Michelle commented that her best Sabbath was forced upon her — during a time of unemployment. Her attitude is amazing.
