Low on the Go!

at the beginning of this semester, i resolved to keep the sabbath day free of any school work or ministry planning. And, to my surprise, i've actually been able to keep it that way thus far. So when my group for Peace and Conflict Studies proposed an all day planning meeting for tomorrow, i e-mailed them right away and told them i would not be able to make it seeing as it is the sabbath day.
at the same time that i was firing off that e-mail, i realized that my group is going to think that i'm just lazy (there have been comments flying around) and when it comes time for peer evaluation i am going to score low on that. And thus, i began to doubt if what i did was a good move.

But as i sit here, i realize this: i made a commitment to GOD to keep the sabbath day free! To use every sunday as a day where i can really dedicate some quality time to Him. Why should i feel guilty about that? My group members ought to respect my religious beliefs--they would if i followed Islam or Judaism or any other religion. And even if they don't, why should i care? What does a mark on a peer evaluation matter in light of eternity? It doesn't really.

anyways what do y'all think?
