Great to hear from you, Jason. Thank you for taking a moment to respond to this post (and for your patience since I have had to approve all comments due to a large number of spam comments I’ve been getting lately).

this is so timely for me, Alan. i have started a new full-time job recently and while i’m so very thankful, i’m still adjusting to the demands and the commute. in any case, a couple verses from Leviticus have lately been echoing in my mind that resonate with your post today – from the chapters on the Day of Atonement, which indicate that that day was a day of rest and that “you must deny yourselves.” (Lev 16.31 & 23.32). It really does require self-denial and that thought has been quite convicting, enriching, and liberating to me lately…all at once. i really appreciate this quote today and wish that many people i know and love could experience the blessing and liberation that come with a discipline of rest.

Wonderful blog! I found it while searching on Yahoo News.
Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thanks

[…] I must take Ward’s counsel as it relates to eight hours of sleep and one day a week free of work. I’ve figured out that I function at my best with seven-and-a-half hours of sleep. And even though I frequently give a presentation on Sabbath and have a chapter on the theme in An Unhurried Life, I have not always been good at the practice. Either I believe this is for me or I do not. If I do not, I haven’t much business proclaiming the virtues of a practice I have not incorporated myself. Thank you, Jesus, for ways you are mentoring me and stretching me into healthier ways to live and work. (I wrote a bit more about overwork in the post: “Overwork Hardens the Heart.” […]

Alan, thanks for sharing this and the simple yet profound insights in fasting. Brings me back to years ago of having our EPCs facilitated by you. Thankful for the ways He has and continues to use you to encourage many.
