I did a post about her post, I was so inspired !!
Favorite photo from last week:
I forgot to post this photo last week ... it was my uber healthy lunch on Friday ....
I don't know what uber means but I've always wanted to use it in a sentence.
Thought it might make me feel younger.
Can't say as though it did.
At least now I know.
Lesson learned the past few days:
Twisties and OJ make an uber orange but uber unhealthy lunch.
Nope, didn't work that time either.
I'll quit !

Super. Literally Above or Over in German. (Uber, that is.) I may do a blog post on this. It's an interesting word history. Ubermensch (from Nietzsche in the 19th century) came into English via G.B. Shaw as Superman.
The Mexican chicken is delicious!
On observing Shabbat. If not a day, take an hour, then two. Incorporate it slowly. See it for the blessing it is--an opportunity to get closer to God and one another--not an onerous burden.
Talia and I have been celebrating Sabbath since we got back from Israel.
Here's some things I like to do to keep the Sabbath day holy.
1. The Sabbath is a day to cease our creating, working with the creation, and appreciate what God has done in the world and is doing in us. Genesis 2
2. Elaborate food preparation is to be done on the day before the Sabbath so that there is no baking or heavy cooking on the Sabbath. Exodus 16
3. The Sabbath is a time to lay our burdens down and rest. We should not do any servile work on the Sabbath. This includes our entire family, even our servants and beasts of burden and strangers who live among us. Jeremiah 17; Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5
4. The Sabbath is an holy convocation. We should meet and worship with others. Leviticus 23
5. We should be reverent and show God that we love, honor, and respect His authority. Psalm 89:7, Habakkuk 2:20
6. The Sabbath should be a day of delight and rejoicing, a day which we forsake our thoughts and words for God's thoughts and words. Isaiah 56, 58
7. The Sabbath is a time of healing. Matthew 12, Mark 1, 3, Luke 13, 14
8. We are not to buy or sell on the Sabbath. Nehemiah 13
9. The Sabbath is a time to do good and visit and comfort the sick. We should do spiritual work on the Sabbath, serving others. John 5
10. The Sabbath is a time of prayer. Acts 16:13
11. The Sabbath is a time to reason with others about spiritual principles, and for ministers to teach the word of God. Acts 17:2, 18:4, 11
12. The Sabbath is a time for Singing. Ephesians 5:19-20, Colossians 3:16, Psalms 92 is called the "Sabbath Psalm"
