In Hebrew, the word shabbat means to rest. For me, Sabbath has come to represent as much a state of mind as a day of the week. It means time out for the soul, time to lay aside my daily cares in favor of spiritual refreshment. It is a way of separating time into different parts and experiencing it in different ways. I do not feel that I am losing any time by spending Sunday morning in church and Sunday afternoon with my family. On the contrary, I am taking time back.
