“Awe takes our breath away, and a moment of wonder returns us to the childlike sensation of being small in the face of something—Someone—bigger. Awe is humbling. The absence of humility is a mark of decadence and narcissism”

“Many people experience time as an unruly mess that is often out of control. We need time, as if God has not allotted to us all that we are meant to have. We make time, as if we had the power to create it. We steal time, as if we could add more to our lives. We spend and use time, as if it really were a commodity.”

“The Sabbath is the day that holds together the beginning of time and the end; it is the intersection of the past and future that opens a window into eternity each week.”

“Many who take the Sabbath seriously and intentionally ruin it with legislation and worrisome fences that protect the Sabbath but destroy its delight. For many Sabbath keepers, it is a day of duty, diligence, and spiritual focus that eschews play and pleasure for Bible reading, prayer, naps, and tedious religious services that seem designed to suck the air out of the soul. If that is keeping the Sabbath holy, then it is better to break it.”
