New Book

Christmas vacation has me starting a new book - an expanded version of the book No Fear I made for you guys last Christmas. I love to write and I love to study God's Word, so it's a great combination for me.

Today I was studying one of my favorite Scriptures: Matt 11:28-30 28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

The first time the word "rest" is used it means to rest, to recreate, to refresh. For me, it brings up visions of strolling in the mountains. For you, perhaps lying by the ocean or even taking a long hot shower without being bothered.

The second time the word "rest" is used it means to be tranquil in the midst of your activities. It's the difference between singing while you cook dinner and slamming around irritably. He promises this rest if we: 1) Come to Him, 2) Take his yoke upon us, and 3) Learn from Him.
