Practising Sabbath

While the first things that may come to mind when thinking about Sabbath may be worship, rest or reading scripture, other elements could include:

  • Making a special meal
  • Inviting family or friends over
  • Reduce "screen time" - avoid using the computer or TV
  • Leave the car at home
  • Don't spend any money
  • Love-making (can I say that on the Internet?)

Another suggestion I've seen is to take 7 minutes of silent prayer/reflection 3 times every day (morning, afternoon and evening).

I'll add more as "Comments" if I remember, or learn of, any others.
