The Beauty of Sabbath

I like it when Sabbath comes.
No worries, no schedules,
You can forget all things that press on you

The community is extra quiet
The weather is distinctively sunny
The birds are more present and noticable
Their chirps make the Sabbath's silence more pleasurable

To me, Sabbath is when novel ideas come
it's when enlightening analysis surface

It's when you have all 24 hours to refill
refill your work attitude by doing something entirely different
refill your intellect by studying the Word
and also refill from your sleep-debt

The Sabbath is a blessing
it is a pleasure
it is an opportunity, and right
it's the 4th Law!

Sabbath Cooking Excuses Investigated Copyright 2016 Winelfred G. Pasamba Foreword "God means that testing truth shall be brought to the front, and become a subject of examination and discussion, even if it is through the contempt placed upon it. The minds of the people must be agitated. Every controversy, every reproach, every slander, will be God's means of provoking inquiry, and awakening minds that otherwise would slumber."—Testimonies for the Church 5:453. ChS 159.2 This is a very difficult, very shaking, very testing, very new and controversial (for many who are not oriented) topic and I request the readers not go to Chapter 3 & 4 unless they have read Chapter 1 & 2.  If you go directly to Chapter 3, you probably will be highly uncomfortable if you have no testimony of avoiding cooking on the Sabbath. Readers need utter humility and gratitude-to-God, for this material not to offend them.  Love for God must be more than love for food, love for comfo
