Keeping the Sabbath Day Holy

I work at two Phunny Pharm locations now. It's good, the new one is closer and nicer to work at, the problem arises when the two locations attempt to make a schedule for me. For this upcoming week it led to an interesting problem. 

The new location called me after having my schedule for the first location faxed over. They gave me a schedule for both locations over the phone. Part of it surprised me. 

"Sunday 8-3."

"What?"

I don't like to work on Sunday. Sunday is the day I go to church, see the Captain, and learn from some very wise teachers. It seems like I'm constantly fighting to have this day. 

I called the Phunny Pharm  back and asked why I was scheduled. The manager insisted that I had worked Sunday mornings before. That's a lie but I'm letting it slide. I decided to cave this once and if no one else could be found to take the shift I would agree to work, just this one Sunday. 

So then I went upstairs to read the Bible for the day. I just so happened to be reading through Jerimiah. "This is what the Lord says: Listen to my warning! Stop carrying on your trade at Jerusalem’s gates on the Sabbath day. Do not do your work on the Sabbath, but make it a holy day. I gave this command to your ancestors, but they did not listen or obey. They stubbornly refused to pay attention or accept my discipline." 17:21-23

Ok God, I hear you... 

I had never thought about it before. Not working on the Sabbath is a command that God gives us. I suppose I don't really understand why but who am I to question the one who made the Heavens and the Earth? More to the point, Aisling put it to me that by defending my decision to not work on the Sabbath I would be standing up for my God, serving my King. 

So you might be wondering what my point is, (besides ranting about the store manager.) To my Christian audience, I had not thought about it before and I wonder how many others have. It's a command, and not a bad one at all (Certainly better than love your neighbor as yourself) but do we follow it? Do you follow it?

Also, Chick-Fil-A, you rock. Keep it up.
