Sacred
Rest
45" ... there was Rebekah coming out with her water jar on
her shoulder; and she went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, "Please
let me drink." 46She quickly let down her jar from her
shoulder, and said, "Drink, and I will also water your camels." So I drank, and
she also watered the camels.

It is
requisite for the relaxation of the mind that we make use,
from time to
time, of playful deeds and jokes.
~ Thomas
Aquinas
Rest is not idleness, and to lie
sometimes on the grass
on a summer day listening to the
murmur of water,
or watching the clouds float across
the sky,
is hardly a waste of time.
~ Sir John
Lubbock

Dodi, Sharron, Eileen,
Rebecca, and Polly at the beginning of the Fourth of July
Freedom Run. I walked
down to give them a send-off, but didn't walk with them
this year. Instead, I
did some house cleaning since my house is becoming a health
hazard!
On Saturday, we spent a
glorious day hiking the Mt. Goliath Trail on Mt. Evans.

"Give me your
tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe
free,
The
wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to
me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

28"Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy
burdens, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon
you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find
rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my
burden is light."
