After two weeks of vacation getting back in the swing of things has been tricky. At the same time getting back to a familiar routine has been nice. It reminds me, though, that we can get stuck in routine and tradition, which I will talk about on Sunday. It is essential to get out of our patterns from time to time. Doing so allows for refocusing and hopefully recharging and relaxing. God rested and got out of the creation routine on the 7th day. We need to do the same practice and not succumb to society’s pressure that we must be constantly on the move and doing things. I know I have said this before, but I want to reiterate that it is ok to just sit, read a book, lay in a hammock, and watch a little TV. It is ok to do what allows you to rest and feel relaxed.
