I’ve written and preached plenty about rest lately, and I’ve decided that I need to practice what I preach. Admittedly, this was only after wearing myself out by running through several options on various lists of potential blog topics.

If you missed some of those things on rest, try this post on a book called Humble Roots, or this one on The Bruised Reed, or any of the sermons on Hebrews 3-4.

While resting in Christ does not always mean inactivity, that’s what it’s mostly going to mean for this week’s blog post. I’m sure you can survive without more words of wisdom from me, both today and on Sunday. A certain member of my family has a milestone birthday this weekend, so I’ll be off for a long weekend, and if things go according to plan, I might tell you more about it soon.

Until then, get some rest. I’m going to try to do the same.
