Of course, we all have to emulate Jesus' meekness/gentleness/trust. However, I think men have different issues than women to deal with. I think womens' trust in God has us resting and has men moving in a courageous manner (these are not my ideas, FYI). We tend to do the opposite of what we are made to do. Women control and manipulate (next post) and men either move forward in their own strength or don't even try. Men - does that make sense?? I was thinking about the exact point you make.

That's some workover. But I recommend SSD to anyone. Really life-changing stuff. I've blogged my reactions <a href="http://christthetruth.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/larry-crabb-conference-notes-1/" rel="nofollow">here</a> if anyone's interested.

It's not taking time away, it's taking time with God. Sabbath is about that deep, all-satisfying relationship.
