DISCUSSION
The soul’s Sabbath
The world today really needs the perspective, the rest, the enjoyment that Sabbath gives,” Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman says in an interview with Sally Quinn, making the case for a weekly day of rest. In this season of Congressional recess, family trips and controversy over whether or not President Obama should take a vacation, why does rest matter? Is vacation spiritual?

The Sabbath we all need can look different for all of us
Sabbath is a method or a value more than it is a rigid recipe or fixed practice.

Even God rests
Our human spirits have a finite capacity to carry stress, issues and problems.

Protestant work ethic and the Jewish Sabbath
I had the privilege of previewing Senator Lieberman’s new book on the sabbath and it convicted this too-busy Baptist that a “weekly” Sabbath of rest is an important biblical concept.

Sabbath rest, humans and humility
When it comes to rest, God leads by example.

Not resting --waking up
The Sabbath grew from the conviction that things need not be as they are.

Spiritual rest
The Sabbath rest, if really practiced, is not duty, but the product of passion and intellect. Such rest waits for the deeper things of God.

Spirituality: It’s only human!
The believers’ habit of passing off ‘emotional and psychological well-being’ under the label of ‘spirituality’ is an attempt to claim this kind of well-being as, at heart, a religious phenomenon.

Rest is a human need
At ten-years-old, while still an Orthodox Jew, I wondered why an all-powerful God had to take a day off each week to rest.

The ideal Sabbath
Shabbat is the goal of the work week, not the pause that makes a week more productive.

Rest (as we know it) a product of progressive values
Rest, vacation, R&R -- call it what you will, it’s very important to keeping an even keel. But the benefits are psychological, and to some degree physiological. They’re not spiritual.

How to rest (Hint: Step away from the Blackberry...)
Instead of thinking of time away from routine obligations as merely escape, think of it as the freedom to contemplate the nature and harmony of the things of the spirit, and to experience the rewarding effect such a state of thought can have on your attitude and health.
