Whatever happened to the Sabbath rest? Has it been outlawed or something?
This Sunday, every gavone in this neighborhood was out there with a leaf-blower, lawnmower, weed-whacker, air compressor, or any combination thereof, hour after hour, making the whole place sound like New Year’s Eve in Mordor. There was even a roofing crew loudly tearing off the roof of a nearby house.
And this morning it was first the jack-hammers, for an hour or two, and then, the moment they stopped, the guy next door with his leaf-blower and weed-whacker. He also has an outdoor light with a 1,000-watt bulb which he kept turning on and off throughout Saturday night, waking me half a dozen times.
Something’s going on here that I don’t understand.
We, as a society, have forgotten the meaning of the word rest, that’s what’s going on.
Funny you should mention this. I wasn’t feeling well Sunday so stayed home from church. Our new neighbor across the street started mowing his lawn at 9:00 in the morning. I complained to my wife we had a pagan living across the street, then I reflected on my attitude and thought better to pray for him and look for a door of opportunity to talk with him about Jesus.
This was more like every other person in this part of town.
Blue laws BAD.
Sharia law GOOD.
It’s part of the good-evil inversion.
