No really it is! Christian threads usually are closed because of fights within 5 pages.

Anyways, back to topic?

To answer the OP's question -

In a general context, sure. . . But the real question is, does he care if we're not?

my two cents, no argument needed.

He DOES care if we are happy.

He gave us rules to live by and a day we are supposed to rest on.

I have found out ( the hard way) that when I actually follow those rules and rest on that day I develop an inner peace that can't be shattered by anyone.

tested by many but never shattered


One other important thing I learned (also the hard way) is that I am only as happy as I allow myself to be.
