No rest for the righteous and the wicked don't need it.

     Depending on which category you choose, there is no rest.  At least not here on earth.  Finding a Christian "resting" simply means they are doing nothing for Christ and their righteousness is questionable.  Sounds kind of harsh for a Friday.  That's because it is harsh.  There is a need for us to be productive in our days.  We will be held accountable for every word, thought and deed that takes place in our lives when we are presented to the Father.  Yes, we have Jesus as an advocate and we can ask for the forgiveness of our sins that can only come from God.  Yet, we are still responsible.  There are sins of commission and sins of omission.  Paul wrestled with this stating: "Those things I should not do, I do.  Those things I know I should do, I do not do.  Wretched man that I am."  Paul was like you and me. sinners walking daily one way or another. 
     This poem means a lot to me and says better than I could ever what the ramifications of our choices are.  Enjoy!

"The Little Chap Who Follows Me!"

A careful man I want to be;
A little fellow follows me.
I do not dare to go astray
For fear he'll go the self same way.

I cannot once escape his eyes,
Whate'er he sees me do, he tries.
Like me he says he's going to be;
The little chap who follows me.

He thinks that I'm so very fine,
Believes in every word of mine.
The base in me he must not see;
The little chap who follows me.

I must remember as I go
Through summer's sun and winter's snow,
I'm building for the years to be;
The little chap who follows me.
