(Happy Sabbath!)Sabbath was more of a blessing then usual today! I was disappointed when I heard at vespers that most churches were cancelled on Sabbath. Really?! So not to be discouraged, I attended hymn sing afterwards and my spirit felt refreshed and ready for a great rest of the Sabbath!
Saturday was fantastic and action packed. My lovely "suitey" Julie and I took a nice stroll on the biology trail, taking in the beautiful sights of ice covering everything and a soft white blanket of snow impressively covering the rolling foothills and valleys of White Oak Mountain! We took a few minutes to graffiti with our feet "Happy Sabbath", in the parking lot of Summerhour Hall, before relieving our cold soggy tarsals in the warm shelter of Redbud 3.
Later that morning,I attended a nice Simple Service in Talge Chapel. We celebrated Sabbath with scripture, prayer, and hymns. Have I mentioned that hymns are my favorite? Lunch was grand and slightly random. I had a sundown worship and sang more hymns with Becca, yes! Finally, to close Sabbath, a hearty crew of adventurous souls trekked up to a dainty picnic table on the biology trail where we stood around a roaring fire while roasting vegetables to perfection! After another dose of more hymns and hearty campfire classics we spread the coals out and bid farewell to the mountain, and the lingering, flickering fire. Sabbath was a blessing, thankfully there are only 6 more days until it comes again!
