We The Harried Citizens


“Whether we know the term Sabbath or not, we the harried citizens of late modernity yearn for the reality. We need Sabbath, even though we doubt that we have time for it.”

--Dorothy Bass “Rediscovering the Sabbath”

So true. I remember sharing during an interview, that one of the strategies for avoiding teacher burnout is taking Sunday off. Everyone in the room wished they could do the same, but no one thought that was feasible in their lives.

It's so strange how Kingdom Economics works, Amy. 90% of our income goes farther than 100%, and six days of work accomplishes more in the long run than seven days. God is an economic genius!:-)
