Sabbath Sunday: Telescopes
For the second edition of the Sabbath Sunday I would like to share a post written by my friend Jim while I was out “resting” on the Appalachian Trail in April. It is a blessing to have friends who are willing to contribute to this blog when I am away, so that from time to time I can recharge the batteries. Jim’s post is called Telescopes, and can be found by clicking here.
My hope is that once again a few of you will join me to help promote the Sabbath by taking a break from your normal blogging. Please share an older post from your blog that is near and dear to your heart. Make sure to leave your name and the URL of your post below and share a comment if you so desire. I look forward to reading your recycled posts!
About The Author
Fr. Christian, there is little “rest” on the AT. My husband and son were through-hikers when the kiddo was 10 years old. (They gained some fame from that.) The other kids and I have hiked portions of it. The rest is mental, not physical — but if one is not caught up in the camaraderie of the through-hikers, there is definitely spiritual fulfillment. I love the mountain tops — not just from the Appalachians, but also from the Rockies and the Alps. God’s country!
I will do the Sabbath resting blog and link (and therefore actually take a day off) when my time zone reaches Sunday. (Even though I am right now in South Carolina, my computer and Blogger think I am in California.)
Have a blessed Sabbath. (I get to try out a new church — I do that when I travel, and it is always interesting.)
Fr. Christian, I am submitting a post from April about my husband’s and my anniversary. Since it is his birthday today, I thought it would be good to re-post that one. Thanks for starting this Sabbath Sunday and God bless.
Father, this is funny but I meant to write that this post is from July! My anniversary is July not April!
I love this idea Fr. Christian! I have been in the habit of joining Jennifer’s MEME at My Chocolate Heart on Sunday’s offering Praise for the past week. Maybe I’ll make my praise post on Saturday’s at the week’s end so that I can join you in a Sabbath Sunday next week.
My post is about my cat!
Thanks for sharing your posts everyone. As we say in the south, I’m fixin’ to go read them!
Yes Elizabeth, it is rest for the mind and spirit if you can find some alone time. My friend David and I usually hike alone, together—if you understand what I mean by that.
Colleen—hope you aren’t in trouble!
