"Sabbath is a deliberate act of interference, an interruption of our work each week, a decree of no-work so that we are able to notice, to attend, to listen, to assimilate this comprehensive and majestic work of God, to orient our work in the work of God. Sabbath-keeping preserves and honors time as God's gift of holy rest: it erects a weekly bastion against the commodification of time, against reducing time to money, reducing time to what we can get out of it, against leaving no time for God or beauty of anything that cannot be used or purchased. It is a defense against the hurry that desecrates time."

Have you heard of the book called "Sabbath" by Wayne Muller? That book may have saved my life.
