I was leaning towards the latter but so far I haven't been able to have an online discussion on the sabbath wihtout giving people the impression I'm a legalist.<br />:-(Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618197716777772631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144372.post-21745701383245176502009-10-12T17:32:55.503-05:002009-10-12T17:32:55.503-05:00Speaking of counting differently, I just noticed t...Speaking of counting differently, I just noticed that there are five chapters in my Marlsbary translation and only four in Dru's.<br /><br />So, I'm sitting here... stewing....<br /><br /><br />trying to decide whether to read on or stop where I have been.... halfway down page 71?Dana in Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973506073487871220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144372.post-40495716158357216342009-10-07T11:54:51.945-05:002009-10-07T11:54:51.945-05:00Right.

RCs and Lutherans both number what we call 1 and 2 together, and then they split 10 into two: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house; and Thou shalt not covet all the rest of his stuff.<br /><br />Thanks for your input, Mystie -- that was helpful.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618197716777772631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144372.post-60939296364552524172009-10-07T11:18:22.644-05:002009-10-07T11:18:22.644-05:00Catholics countly differently, Mystie :)

Your limitations because of circumstances, physical abilities, hormones?"<br /><br />I think it's a bundle of all of these. How much stress and anxiety (restlessness) comes from comparing ourselves, our children, our homeschools to others? We cannot all be feet or hands, but if we are an eye or ear we can get nervous because we don't look like or do what those others are doing, when in reality we aren't supposed to, anyway. <br /><br />Kathleen Norris has a little book called Quotidian Mysteries. It was where I first encountered the word acedia, and it was at a point where I was actually in a bout of it myself. It's about the sacramental, poetic view of housework rather than the drudgery outlook that deadens. <br /><br />My translation said the Sabbath command is the Third Commandment. I've seen it so referred before, but I can't remember where. What's up with that?!Mystiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489205990532734556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144372.post-90233840972721595402009-10-06T22:29:59.880-05:002009-10-06T22:29:59.880-05:00I was wondering if folks try to overcome acedia wi...I was wondering if folks try to overcome acedia with frenetic busyness when they, we, I should be looking elsewhere. It is truly difficult to be effortless. It is difficult to be still in both body and mind. At least, it is for me.sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372272007182679464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144372.post-47580344518169006062009-10-06T13:19:36.389-05:002009-10-06T13:19:36.389-05:00I loved Dru's use of the word *steep* in trans...I loved Dru's use of the word *steep* in translation.
