Steve Anonby challenged us to think of the Sabbath as a discipline to be embraced, not legalistically, but as a way to respect God's command that we periodically rest. The intentional "waste" of a day discourages us from the gluttonous exploitation of our God-given time. Making every effort to rest each week heals our bodies and minds, awakens our creativity, and helps us reflect, ponder and gain perspective. Like John Cage's composition of 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence, Steve tested our discomfort with 50 seconds silence, which felt like an eternity! [KH]
