Rest Today

Stardate 11.11.2026

I'm moving slowly today. This is the first day in a while when my body is operating at impulse power.

The changing temperatures and repeated trips across time zones have finally caught up with me. Fortunately, it happened just in time for a much-needed day off.

There are no big plans today. Rest and recovery are at the top of the agenda.

We're getting ready for one more big push that will help us cross the finish line for our last store opening of the year. After everything involved in the recent travels and assignments, I want to be ready for that final mission.

Today gives me an opportunity to recharge. I'm grateful for a little breathing room and the chance to let my body recover.

Jesus understood the importance of rest. In Mark's Gospel, He invited His disciples to step away for a while.

Scripture — Mark 6:31 (NIV)

"Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest."

Those words feel especially appropriate today.

I'm thankful for another day, another opportunity to recover, and the grace that meets us wherever we are.

Live long and prosper. 🖖

Captain's Addendum

Spock: "Captain, your current operating speed appears to be considerably below normal."

Bones: "For once, Spock, I agree with you. Let him rest. His body is trying to tell him something."

Spock: "An appropriate allocation of resources, Doctor."

I suppose even a starship needs time in spacedock. Today, I'm taking the opportunity to recharge before our next mission. Sometimes listening to our bodies is one of the wisest decisions we can make.
