Worship: Time to Cool Down
Matthew 11:25-30

In the early days of automobiles, it was common for eating and drinking places to be built on the tops of long hills.  I know that near where I grew up on the old Island Highway, there is a restaurant called the Malahat Chalet - still located at the top of the longest grade between Nanaimo and Victoria. It was not located there for the view, nor were most of the others you can still find around North America at the tops of hills and mountains.  These locations were for the convenience of people who needed to stop and let their overheated radiators cool down.

That is one of the functions of Worship for many of us - a time for rest and refreshment - when we let our overheated radiators cool down.
