This is personal! Both for me and you. Success is about intentionality. Very little in life just "happens". So, as we discuss different topics and thoughts, let's have this in mind - intentionality! Because we all want to succeed and success is intentional!

Work can quickly wear out gloves. The same is true for rest. The more we work, the more we have to intentionally rest. Don't think you won't get worn out - others will notice long before you do! It's time to say "no" to the pattern of this world! Sabbath!
Taking a break from our regular work is, in part, designed to make us enjoy that same work even more. Why do we keep jumping on the spinning hamster wheel? Some things we just have to learn on our own.
We try so many things to help ourselves slow the pace so we can act out of mindfulness rather than our ill-fated, knee jerk reactions. God lovingly drums out a rhythm, a way for us to rest, recuperate and relish Him and His creation.
These are the top 3 books I read in 2014. Okay, so it ends up being 5! For a guy who historically didn't read, this is pretty good! Enjoy and please share the books you enjoyed this year!
Society has a problem and it has infiltrated every fiber, especially the church. There’s an “epicenter epidemic” run rampant in our culture!
There are deep mysteries to be found as we intentionally seek spiritual rest, or sabbath. One of those is delight. Delighting in the things of creation is a gift given to us by God that needs to be recaptured.
God has something special in store for those who seek after him. Don't let yourself be cheated by thinking a "sabbath" isn't much different than any other day. It can be very different, and very special!
Knowing how you're wired, especially as an introvert in an extrovert world, will aid you in all you do. We live in a society that favors personality over character, but that doesn't mean that it's right!
Rest, or sabbath, is a nonnegotiable with God because He cares so deeply about us and craves the very best for us! But, are you courageous enough to do what it takes?
