Dana and I hopped in the car yesterday and drove from Erie to Boston! After running around to get ready to go, it felt so good to just pull away from our house and hit the road. For us, there is nothing like a trip away from the "usual" routine to help refresh our tired souls.
The countryside between Erie and Boston is gorgeous and unspoiled. It is so amazing that the US still has thousands of miles of beautiful land. We'd recommend I-86 & Rt. 17 (with very little traffic) to anyone who needs some nature to recharge.
On the 7th Day, God rested. He told the Israelites to rest on the Sabbath. Jesus often got away from the crowds to rest and pray. My boss, Derek, recently told us a wise thing - "fruitfulness is formed out of rest." Rest is stewarding our bodies and lives well. We are guilty of not resting regularly. May this trip help us build the discipline of rest back into our daily lives.
