Great article, Bill. I like the way you transition so smoothly from rest and recreation to how we are God's marvelous creation and co-creators.

Since I'm retired, my days are filled with R&R. But since I'm also created for a purpose, I try to curb my tendency to pursue recreation all the time and also enter into activities that help somebody. With me, it has to be intentional because I could easily focus on traveling, enjoying myself and writing all the time. But God blessed me too much for that!
