Maybe God Knew Something About Us?

A story struck me on the Yahoo! News this past week. The headline says it all:

Japanese man, 45, died of overwork

He was reportedly a top engineer for Toyota. According to news sources and his widow's attorney he had been under a great deal of pressure and had been working, on average, over 80 hours per week.

Many millennia ago a small group of semi-nomadic former slaves reported that their God had told them to take one day a week off from work. They called it a "day of rest" or "sabbath."

It may have cut productivity, but it sure made a difference. Do you think, maybe, perhaps, someone (or Someone) knew something that's important about us.

Have a happy day of rest today.
