Shabbat thoughts.
The Orthodox Jews observe many modern prohibitions on the sabbath. ie, car travel, phone calls, turning on lights m, cooking....
Why do you do? And what do you feel we should do?
We need to observe and delight in YHVH's teachings, of course.
Does a sabbath day consist of just sitting around.
What do we do?

1. not to make others work for us
- Light meals are prepared on Friday
- We don't go shopping and when we travel to a meeting then we don't use it as an excuse to go buy stuff
- Dishes are done after sunset or left to Sunday
2. having extra rest
- We try to sleep in
- Have a ciesta in the afternoon
3. Bible study
- I try to focus on Scriture based topics on the day, so will avoid newspaper articles, etc. I watch quite a few hours of Torah based videos.
4. spending time fellowshipping with others
- when there is an opportunity then we meet with other believers, but due to distances try not to have to travel more than one Shabbat per month to ensure we get rest in overall during the month.
