Beth and Kim are back in the same room having a conversation about silence and the joy it often brings! We live in an increasingly noisy world where silence or quiet is rare.  Perhaps that is contributing to the lack of genuine joy?

Rest, vacations, down time, are all vitally important aspects of life. We hope this conversation inspires you to up the joy in your life with some much needed rest! Beth and Kim sit down and have a conversation about the importance of being intentional about taking time to recharge and reboot.

Bible Texts:
Matthew 11:28 ESV — "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
Exodus 20: 8-11 ESV —"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.  Six days you shall labor, and do all your work,  but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates.  For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy."
