Yeah, I had one wild and crazy Friday night. Try this on for size:

1) I stayed home. I didn’t go anywhere or see anyone other than my cat. It was great.

2) I’m actually in bed at the insanely late hour of 9:30 pm. How’s that for unpredictable?

3) I think I’ve made my point with #1and #2.

In my defense, I have been up since 4:15 am. That’s a long time. Too long.

Sometimes, it’s good to do nothing and rest. Even the most social of social butterflies needs to hibernate every now and then. You can’t be this awesome 24/7 with no down time.

Ok, I jest. But even God rested. He instituted the Sabbath because no one was designed to go 7 days a week with no break. Rest is not admission of weakness, it is wisdom in action.

I close with these words from King David that echo my own heart tonight:

“You have filled me with joy, and happiness has risen in my heart, great delight and unrivaled joy,even more than when bread abounds and wine flows freely. Tonight I will sleep securely on a bed of peacebecause I trust You, You alone, O Eternal One, will keep me safe” (Psalm 4:7-8).
