In anticipation of the notes from Wednesday night's sermon...
Wednesday night I preached on finding time to be in solitude and silence. To get away from all the noise, and to come to God with our tired and weary lives. I talked about the importance of carving out a Sabbath each week, so that we can find rest. Obviously I haven't listened to my own advice, since I haven't done that myself yet. You will find the notes in another day or so, but in the meantime, I love this paraphrase/translation from Eugene Peterson in The Message:
Matthew 11:28-30 (The Message)
28 "Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. 29 Walk with me and work with me--watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. 30 Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."
