So many of you may not know what this means because I didn’t when I first heard it. But it is something that I like to do on most weekends.

Instead of getting up and focusing right away on whatever I need to get done for the day or catch up from the week, I decide to hurkle-durkle. Meaning that I lounge around in bed for a while after I wake up.

At first I thought this concept was just me being lazy, which God says that we shouldn’t do. But I also know that we as Christians need to take care of ourselves and rest. Now I don’t hurkle-durkle all day. Usually it is for 1/2 an hour to an hour then I get up and get to work, and I have found I am more energetic after that time then I would have been if I got up right away.

Sometimes, we need to slow down before we burn out and I have found that hurkle-durkling helps me do that. Maybe try it an see for yourself this weekend.
