Home Alone

I honestly love being home alone. The sheer silence. Being able to do whatever I want, undisturbed, only talking to the people I want to talk to via internet and cell phone. I love it. I just wish I had those opportunities more often. Or at least a lap top so I could lock myself in a room.

I want to begin taking Sabbath observance more seriously. I want to become more hardcore. Not to the point where I wont cook or bathe on Sabbath, but I need to change some things. I don't really like going out to eat on Sabbath just because we're supporting other people working. . . I should probably stop, but it's just really relaxing to go out to eat with friends after church and not have to worry about cooking/scavenging food and cleaning up afterward. I'm not exactly sure where I'll go with that. I also want to stop doing such secular things on the Sabbath. It's supposed to be a day for me to commune with God and other believers(says Aunty Ellen). Instead, you often find me at the computer watching House/NCIS or sleeping. I think I'm going to try to go to bed earlier Friday nights and be awake all day Sabbath, just rockin' out to Jesus music, thinking, praying, and talking to a few friends. I was reading an old Facebook note that was pretty much a survey for my friends about me. One of the questions is what they would give me if they could. Thank kind of makes me think, God's gift to me was Sabbath. I honestly don't know what I would do without the Sabbath. Even how I observe the Sabbath at this point in time, it's relaxing, a good cool down from the week. No homework, no studying. Just chill. In Jedish's words, "It's Sabbath, everything's good now".
