hot summer sun makes me sweat
it’s the day of rest

Author notes
Ex 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Ex 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of Yah thy Elohim: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
Ex 20:11 For in six days the Yah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Yah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
I wanted to go to services today, but it's going to reach 96 today & it's steamy. Last week the Inn's air conditioning was down [where we hold Sabbath Service] & everyone was very uncomfortable & it made me feel even sicker than I am. I'm home praising, praying & studying today. The Home Church also has a Virtual Service on the Web, so I'll be 'with my Church' to hear a Sermon later. I've also lots of resources to keep me in Him daily & especially on the Sabbath day if I'm home! This was a wonderful day to write a Sabbath Haiku in praise of Him on His day!

Yes, it is still hot on the Sabbath in the summer, I was hot dressing back up tonight for evening service. Ran home and changed back into shorts, oh my. Thank you so much.
