Breaking the Sabbath

[Braveheart]

Tom, good points in your above posts re God and love, for God is indeed love.

Regarding not working on the Sabbath, while the idea is wrapped up as God's Law, really I see it as a concept to keep society balanced and productive. Taking a regular break from work helps people be more productive, allows time for family, and can be just good for the spirit.

I really don't want to get within a mile of this argument but I discovered something interesting one time while discussing this very topic. If you read the commandment you will see that it specifies certain people who can not work on the Sabbath. How ever it noticeably does not exclude your wife................. (you didn't get that from me!!).

Remember my grandfather's comment on working on Sunday, and he never did... " If you can't get your work done in 6 days, you will not get done in 7 either."

fj,

I must agree about getting the work done... but since the good Lord gave us a creative brain... we can harvest when the grain is ready to bring in... and do good with the blessings we are entrusted with... on other days after the crop is safely in the bin.

We do take a break if have been at harvest or seeding for a good stretch... and folks that work with us need the break and appreciate the time to catch up at home and have a break when needed.

All about doing good... not about greed nor being selfish. We all win when good grain is in bin... instead of downgrading in rain.
