Greetings to you on this the Lord’s Day.  It is definitely summertime in the mid-south!  It has been hot, the humidity has been high, and we have had rain.  It must be summer.  

Summer is a time when the pace of life slows down for many people especially those with school age children and grandchildren.  It is a time we give ourselves permission to rest and hopefully even relax a little.  In today’s scripture reading the Apostles are in need of a bit of rest and Jesus calls them away with him for a bit of R&R.  However, just because it is summer and just because we need rest it isn’t always easily found.  May we make a little time for Sabbath rest in our lives even when rest is hard to come by.
