Friday Evening

The moon rises and shines at the end of another work week.
Friday evening ... will soon become Saturday morning

I do like the concept of the sabbath beginning tonight at sunset ... and moving into and through tomorrow. Five days of meetings, writings, reading, conceptualizing and constant motion. One person indicated that she felt she was on a wheel ... you know the kind in a hamster cage! Another wonders how it suddenly reach 4:30 ... another ends the week saying they have to go in tomorrow to get it all done.

What is becoming of the world ... the world we know ... the world that those of you are reading this know.

The wheel really did make life easier.
Fire was a great discovery
Then there was the sewing maching
The electric light bulb
The dishwasher
The microwave
The computer
The beeper
The cell phone
The internet
The blackberry

So many discoveries ...
So much to do ...

Are we on that hamster wheel?

I think I will turn out the lights
Its Friday evening ...

Time for quiet ...
Time for prayer ...
Time for writing ...
Time for friends ...
Time for family ...
Time for love.

As the sun sets to the west ...
Look to the sky ...
See the moon ... it is growing
See those two bright objects low in the west after sunset?
They are Venus and Jupiter ....
They are the brightest lights up after the sun goes down
They shine by reflecting the sun’s light.

Its Friday night ....
rest
spend time with those you love
spend time with yourself

God is good

How are you spending Friday night?
