(Sunday evening)

Today has been a day of rest. And technically speaking, that's what it's supposed to be - time may be more relative here than back in the states, but the cycle God has built into the very core of our soul still craves that day of rest. I'd like to start taking the 4th commandment more seriously. I don't know exactly what that will look like or how to go about it, but as I look at Scripture it appears that the principle of resting on the sabbath is a big enough deal to God that I need to start taking it more seriously. I got in my "traditional" Sunday afternoon nap (which I just woke up from), and my body feels like it's finally fully adjusted to Norway time

I hate those technicalities -- time, space, whatever! And yet, the way you describe the sense of the places you hike....timeless. But time for sabbath for passing time -- worth doing. Thanks again for your observations and reflections.
