Day 98: Rest…Relax…Reflect.

Relax, Recharge and Reflect. Sometimes it’s OK to do nothing. (Izey Victoria Odiase)

Thinking about the musings from Day 97: At Least 100 More…Part 1....

I would submit to you that it is important to take some rest. 

Just like the 14th week winding down at school, week 14 is winding down here.  I end with the quote: “I will give you Sunday’s off, it’s a God thing….”

The more I think about it, I don’t really know if it is really just a ‘God thing’. I mean, don’t animals, insects, birds, plants, the rest of Mother Nature and even Atheists, believe in the importance of rest? Whether they think it’s a ‘God thing’ or not, rest is necessary for all of us on this Earth, to restore, and to rejuvenate, our hearts, minds, bodies and souls. I think, most importantly, because Monday’s can be brutal, on a good Monday….

Bottom line no matter where you stand on the issue of God…get some rest.

Spend some time if you want to do some reviewing, reflecting, and/or meditating, on the week that has just ended. To be mindful perhaps of the from last week:

Day 92: How Sharp Was…And Is…Ockham’s Razor? – William of Ockham spoke on at least 9 different occasions about how the simplest way of going about things is usually the correct way. When applying Ockham’s Razor to Genesis 1:1, its simplicity speaks for itself;

Day 93: It Is As Easy As…The Flip Of A Switch. – The idea of applying William of Ockham’s: “No more things should be presumed to exist than are absolutely necessary.” to Genesis 1:3, it really is easy to understand how the universe began, by flipping a switch. The question you must ask yourself next is…who exactly flipped the switch?;

Day 94: It Is As Easy As…31 Switches? – The relationship between the scientific study of astronomy and 5 more verses from the book of Genesis are covered here. After reviewing these verses it is easy to see how important the scientific field of astronomy is in the book of Genesis;

Day 95: It Is As Easy As…Getting To The Halfway Point. – The continuation of the relationship between the scientific field of astronomy and the verses from Genesis 1:8-17 are reviewed. Without question, the consistency continues;

Day 96: It Is As Easy As…Conclusion. – The final verses from the book of Genesis, 1:18-31, and their relationship with the scientific field of astronomy are concluded here. There is a strong case to be made that 31 of 31 verses all directly relate to the scientific field of astronomy;

Day 97: At Least 100 More…Part 1. – To assume that the first book of Genesis in the Holy Bible is the only book that references items from the scientific field of astronomy is a wrong assumption. In fact, the first 20 of over 100 more verses in the holy bible are covered here.

Are you ready to get some rest?

Do not feel discouraged if you don’t know how to rest. Do not feel discouraged if you power down your mind and body that wishes to forge ahead, so many things to do, so little time. Instead, embrace the idea that rest is rejuvenating. Embrace the idea that rest restores and recharges.  10-15 minutes. Do nothing regarding the upcoming workweek…for 10-15 minutes.  Then, 7 days later, extent your rest time out 5 minutes.  Deep breathing exercises. Simple yoga poses. Watching cute little puppies on your social media feed. All unrelated to work and your job(s). Something, some things, to clear your mind.     

⁶ And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest. (Psalm 55:6 KJV)

Was today’s blog a little confusing at times? Was the content perhaps a little overwhelming? Did you feel lost not understanding some or most of the subject matter?

Those feelings are totally understandable and it is ok to have one or more of those feelings. Remember that you are reading Day 98: Rest…Relax…Reflect.

If you haven’t been in class since the first day of school…or when the project began…or when the contract was first signed, etc., these feelings make perfect and logistical sense.

Please feel free to go back to where all of this began:
