Just finished reading Abraham Joshua Heschel classic book on The Sabbath. I think what I appreciate the most is the idea that, while many religions think of God in Space (and thus set up shrines, cathedrals, and altars); the God of the Bible also occupies Time. He is the God of seasons and rhythm. Good stuff.
Also, for Heschel, the Sabbath is a time to let go of both work AND worry and trust God for what he has done and is doing. I like it.
