Now that the dog days of summer are upon us, and with so many families in the church planning, anticipating, or taking time away from the daily grind, vacationing, we thought it might be only appropriate to think during July about God's own design for our rest: The Sabbath. Lo and behold, it's still a commandment, and yet it may be the one most often broken by us (and in some cases with boasting!). This Sunday will we begin our Sabbath-themed July by beginning at the beginning: Genesis 1. Let's reflect once again on this rich chapter and ask ourselves what it still teaches us about our purpose within the unfolding drama of God's creation.
