Holy and delightful

            Sanctified, different, separate

            Do things that are not normal everyday activities don’t talk about work, get prepared for work, 

 Quote pg 146

How does one keep the day holy

            Making it unpleasant, restrictive, boring

            Or by making it joyous,

Making it as much as possible like hell or as much as possible like heaven.

            Cease,

                        Work, accomplishments, anxiety, worry, possessiveness

            Rest,

                        Spiritually, emotionally, physically, intellectually

            Feast,

                        On the eternal, with music, food and affection

Sabbath inclusiveness

            Both sexes

            Family members

            Those who work for us

            Animals

            Strangers

The significance of work

We were made to create

Be fruitful multiply

Fill the earth and subdue it

Have dominion over it

Keep gods garden

Just as the rest is significant, work is also

            Quote pg 150

Positive self image

Boundaries

            Nature, when it gets dark

            Culture, laws against doing business on the Sabbath

Good and bad work

            Good work

                        Our drive is to make things,            

                                    Organize,

                                    Create

                                    Invent

                                    Understand and explain

At it’s best our work is for life

            Good for humanity    

            Animals

            Earth

            Coworkers

            Good work has boundaries

            Bad work

Some of our work feels like

Require us to

                        Slavery

                        No boundaries

                        No respect

                        Dangerous

                        Bricks without straw

                        Work-a-holichs

Sabbath brings freedom the day on which freedom is commemorated

Get control of our time

Helps my neighbor

            Good when we develop our relationship with God

            Sabbath granted to everyone, work

            Spend quality time with others and work for others
