The “Blue Laws”?!  Are you old enough to remember them?  It used to be illegal for most places to be open on Sunday.  They were called the “blue laws”.  I am not sure how they came about.

It probably had something to do with Sunday being the sabbath and a day of rest.  Now most establishments are open on Sunday–at least most retail stores.

It is just another sales day.  I am not convinced stores make more sales (and money) because they are open seven days a weeks but most stores are afraid they will lose business if they are not open, also, on Sunday.

It really is not a bad idea to recognize one day as the Sabbath and have one day to rest.  There is a reason one of the ten commandment is to observe the sabbath.

God certainly does not need a day to rest.  A day of rest one day a week forces you to regularly evaluate your life and change direction if you need to.

It is too easy to keep going faster and faster and get nowhere.  The Sabbath enable you to get off the treadmill.

Which comes first:  the depression or the depressed thoughts.  It was unusual.  I fell into a depression early in the morning and then could find all kinds of reasons to justify it

Most of the time I become depressed in the late afternoon or evening because of fatigue.  I can’t give that reason this time obviously.

I just wonder though.  Was it totally biochemical  or was it an accumulations of events that set off a depression.  One more is just enough to tip over the bucket and cause depression.

I really do not know sometimes.  Nor do I spend an inordinate time trying to figure it out.  Depressions sometimes come and go.  That Is all I meed to know.  They will end.
