Saturday - Rest or Labor

Even when we were both working, Saturday was the day for administrative chores. You know, chores like laundry, house cleaning, shopping, yard work, and the like. We both shared a world view in which Saturday was the fitting day for these activities. My wife still adheres to this view which she firmly believes is the orthodox one. I, on the other hand, have begun to think more of baseball games, and other spectator activities; recliner chair, feet in the air, beverage at hand, perhaps a few munchies.

This is clearly a heretical hermeneutic. Some weeks its manifestation is treated with scorn, on others with patience. Occasionally there is vigorous opposition and condemnation. Sometimes our great ideas and activities are opposed because they require change and people don't know how to change.

In this case, my answer is outsourcing - dry cleaners and laundry, cleaning crew, yardman, etc.

Would that it were always so easy!

And then there is Augustine

Love God and do as you please.

There's an hermeneutic for you!
