A holy Sunday!

The semitic religions share a common understanding of holiness. To be holy means to be set aside for a specific purpose that is in keeping with God's intention and will. This is a holy Sunday! Megan, Courtney, Liam and I are enjoying a lazy afternoon at our local beach. This day is set aside for rest, and particularly for rest that is filled with joy, thanksgiving, and appreciation.

I know that this otium sanctum (Holy Leisure) will sustain us to face the business and demands of this coming week with joy and intention.

Thanks be to God for this day, this place and most of all these people!
