sabbath on a monday

so i've been looking for a way to be more intentional about keeping Sabbath.

it gets hard when you're working every day of the week. but i'm getting pretty tired so that forces the issue. over the past few weeks, i've tried to get on in to work on monday (though i'm usually wiped out at the end of Sunday) and get out asap. sometimes i have other work for church to do on monday evening, but today i'm laying out a schedule (in part due to beautiful weather) of playing baseball and jogging with jake. when i asked him this morning if he'd like to do that, he was beyond excited.

once it starts to get dark (or jake gets tired), we'll go inside and i'll make some dinner. i really enjoy cooking, but with busy schedules we often end up just warming something up. plus, when cooking from scratch it always feels like it costs more for all the individual ingredients. i guess it doesn't once you have more on hand though.

we'll watch some tv that was tivo'ed from last night and then i may read a bit, but hopefully get to bed early again to end the day.
