Hi! Welcome back to the show. I'm T. Anthony Bland also known as Whitebeard and yes, I am flying solo again which is actually a good thing. This weeks thoughts came out of necessity. I had been driving everyday without a break. Anyone who drives for a living or takes long road trips or adventure travels, understands how draining the road can be. Fatigue becomes very familiar and the lack of routine becomes a thing of the past. Without proper sleep and the absence of my daily exercise, I started to crash. So I planned a weekend getaway to simply rest... yeah, it didn't go as planned.

I planned the weekend because I recognized the signs. Our current culture pushes us all to work more, longer hours, everyday, multitask, fill empty space and time with something. It calls us to drown the silence with noise and activities. Then we wonder why we're constantly "on edge". This cycle causes health, married and even financial issues. There was study conducted and the results were... people would rather have electric over sitting quietly with their own thoughts. There is a reason why God rested from his work, called for and ordained a "day of rest" for our frail human minds and bodies. And that, dear listener, is the focus of today's thought. Get comfortable and let's talk.
