After I read this today, I washed my face and brushed my teeth, put on presentable church clothes and got in my car to come to First Church. I was a wee bit late in starting but I was relaxed. I knew something was up when I got to Shattuck and I couldn't cross to Oxford. I drove on Shattuck, immediately seeing runners in the Half Marathon about which I was clueless. At University I had to turn west AWAY from church. Twenty minutes and four blocks later I turned right onto Martin Luther King for home again. Live church was not happening. But I was still relaxed. Traffic moving in the other direction towards University was backed up for two miles. I watched the last half of the service on my computer, glad to be able to do this. It's 5PM now. I'm still in my church clothes. But I have had a sabbath attitude all day and it has helped me to be quiet, be slow, and do only what gives me a sense of peace. Thank you.
