we've reclaimed our sabbath

the church schedule has changed to 9 AM this year and in just two weeks, sundays are already feeling so much more pleasant.  our family has time to take a walk or bikeride again (as opposed to a drowsy stroll around the block in our pajamas).  the childrens' moods are much improved with the availability of a nap (as opposed to a 5 minute shut eye on the ride to church).  and we can have company over for dinner on a regular basis (as opposed to enduring tons of quick, slow-cooked dinners).
