Email. I’ve now made it two weeks in a [...]
Extreme Bedroom Makeover [Tech Rest]
Are you sleeping as well as you would like, every night? Then quit reading. If not, you may find you can change some things and make a real difference in the quality of your sleep.

A Workday Worth Working For [Tech Rest]
I don’t want to quit work. I think that’s the wrong goal.
When God kicked Adam out of the garden, he was not cursed with "work" but with "sweat". So, I think the ultimate workday is one where you are doing what you were made to do without "sweat". In addition, the ultimate workday includes my [...]

Does God Take Naps? [Tech Rest]
You betcha! Stay with me. Don’t get too excited. I know about . . .
“Indeed, he who watches over Israel never tires and never sleeps.” (Psalm 121:4 – The New Living Translation)
But what about . . .
“The next thing they knew, they were in a severe storm. Waves were crashing into the boat - and [...]
What To Do About Pain [Tech Rest]
When you have pain in your body, what do you do?
The other day, a
friend of ours told us that her husband was having some pain in his
back. She went on to say that he just needed to live with it because
