"Bon Saba"

"Bon Saba"

In Creole it means, Good Sabbath. The sabbath in religious circles denotes a day of rest or a coming together of like believers. On day seven of creation, God rested. In music, the rest is interval silence. In the Psalms, Selah is used to pause and stresses the importance of the preceding passage. In the performing arts, the actor will pause to heighten the anticipation of the next line. This dramatic pause is a beat or two of silence with no dialogue and little or no music/background sound.

Yesterday was my pause, my "Bon Saba".

I sat, I listened. My world has been loud. It's been busy. It's been demanding. I didn't have time to stop. My to-do list doubled.

Thank God for rest. Today, I feel refreshed and healthier.

Carlos and I have been blessed with projects to do and people to employ. Our current project, "Raise this Roof" is progressing and is now completely paid for! We estimate that the whole project will be completed Tuesday, March 2nd.

We will see the completion of the walls of the school tomorrow and the assembly of the tin roof will begin.
