Glen Coe
Kate and I rented a car for the first time and headed up to Glen Coe, a beautiful wee town in the Highlands. I got this shot overlooking one of the many lakes.
We're starting to take a Sabath once a week. For us, that usually revolves around avoiding mobile phones, emails, internet, lists, or creating anything new.
Sabath is full-scale rebellion against western culture which says, "get it done." Sabath says, "don't get it done." Sabath is our gift for leaving Egypt, where our worth came from the amount of bricks we produced. The slavemaster says your worth comes from how many bricks you produce. If you don't produce enough bricks for Pharoah, you're killed because you have no worth apart from the bricks.
Sabath was a day a week to learn to live simply for who you are and not what you produce.

The pics are AMAZING! And your thoughts on the Sabbath are SPOT ON, and EXACTLY what I needed to hear. Too often growing up my self-worth was determined by the grades I made (or something else that "I did"...it was always works based). I've been a Christian a little over 6 years, and I find myself sometimes wanting to slip back into old thoughts that my value is based upon what I can do, rather than on who God says I am.
Enjoyed the photos, Dave. Breathtaking views. And "right on" comments about the Sabbath. I'm certainly one to keep going non stop. Need to not only know what God's holy "instructions" are to us, but act on them. This one is particularly hard for me. Enjoyed reading Rhea's comments, too.
