I think you're friend was on the right track, but your level of REST on Sabbath needs to be between you and the LORD. You are saving a lot of lives with your work and insightful endless studies. God is smiling Dr.TπŸ™πŸ’―β˜ΊοΈ

I totally understand where you are coming from. I recently shared a story regarding my husband's collapse in the front door. Since then it has been a whirlwind for me...calling the doctor's office a number of times to confirm they received the referral for an echocardiogram, dealing with insurances, requesting an updated referral for a consult, cooking all the meals making sure they were exactly what he needed, doing laundry, doing all the dishes by hand (no dishwasher - than in itself is another story.), being awake most of the night because he was not doing well at all, researching diuretic foods (which have helped a lot) and learning all we can about what MIGHT be going on , just being with him 24/7, and oh yes, taking care of an aging dog. I finally realized in these quick 3 weeks I have had to change my schedule and allow myself some down time. I've also had to make sure I stick to my quiet time first thing every morning. If I start out my day dealing with phone calls, etc., I am a mess! We need to rely on the LORD for rest, but we also need to allow ourselves to do that. I so appreciate how much you do for us with all your research and your interviews and your substacks, but you do need to take care of yourself. If you don't you won't be around in a healthy way - or at all! You are loved by so many people and we just hope you look out for yourself as well. I will pray the Holy Spirit will be heard when He nudges you to slow down, breathe it all in and rest in Him. All my love, your Sister in Christ

This was very helpful -- awesome job! As a word of encouragement, my personal physician keeps some of your videos in his office for patients to borrow and watch. One of the videos about vaccines was very helpful in convincing us to walk away from flu shots. We appreciate you!

Thanks for this Listen: Giving and Receiving. I DO keep the Sabbath, and it amazes me the issues that arise if I am alone keeping it especially. Then who, if any keep it as well... like you say, it is complicated.

I have found SOME aspects of Sabbath keeping offensive.. and some near impossible to protect my own spiritual space... it's an experience, and I'm sure not everyone experiences the same thing. Have a great day . It is an ongoing challenge when under extreme pressure, or SO MANY LIVES are on the line. I'm glad to see some of these things being addressed , of late, in Congress.

Those are the words of a true and good friend. It seems counterintuitive, like so much of God's truth, but rest is critical to productivity. We all need to give ourselves some grace in this matter. Even after we learn to give others grace it is a whole nother thing to be gracious to ourselves.

Actually, my New Year's sermon this year was on rest and it's relationship to our health and productivity. If anyone is interested it is here, https://comfortwithtruth.substack.com/p/the-killer-cure-e66

Thank you for sharing this, Dr. T. It sounds like you're listening to Kevin, and with the Holy Spirit's guidance we know you'll begin to implement some wonderful changes. We need you!

Rest, fellowship, and time with our Lord to refresh you will only enhance the work you do on our behalf. Blessings! :-)

Very good.

This last part hits me.

"Help our words and suggestions to resonate better with friends and family... and help us to be better, non-reactive listeners when that β€˜constructive criticism’ comes our way. Help our relationships to be more like Proverbs 27:17, iron sharpening iron, so we can help each other grow and submit to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen."

Dr. T, I know that I can not claim you as my friend, but what your friend said to you I have thought for you. In fact, I even left comments on this topic on a few of your podcasts months ago. You may not have seen them. I hope that you heed your friends words.
