Welcome to my blog!

The name comes from the Old English word (sabat), which comes to us through Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. It's origin is "to rest", and is etymologically connected to Sabbath and Sabbatical. It seemed appropriate... given my current time of transition. This blog allows a place for personal reflection, shares my whereabouts and happenings, but most importantly - it is a vehicle for your reactions to my submissions. My hope is that, as a group, we have a running dialog pertaining to those things that really matter.

I promise to read each post, but please know that replies may be sporadic and/or delayed. For my plans in the near-future will frequently have me "out of pocket", or I may just need to escape the day-to-day deluge of electronic ping pong . But feel free to submit a post. We are all traveling together on this journey to understand, called life; and each perspective is important.

Let's keep in touch as we share the journey!

Be well,

Sam

Labor Day

I am currently working on a sermon that I'll be delivering on Labor Day Sunday.  With retirement... and with the terrible unemployment situation, I am viewing Labor Day a little differently this year.  I have always viewed work as a way to develop and live out our beliefs.  This is the synopsis blurb for the service...


Sermon Title:  Work as Worship

Just like "jumbo shrimp" and "tough love", you may find that "work" and "worship" are two terms that do not go together. Perhaps you see a worship experience as a needed and welcome refuge from the world of work.   But as we celebrate Labor Day during these very uncertain economic times, we will explore the role of work in our personal journey and spiritual growth.



Happy Labor Day everyone... you teachers be sure to catch your breath!
