I was not so committed to financial success that I was willing to abandon my principles and priorities. One of the most visible examples of this is our decision to close on Sunday.

I confess that as a young boy, Sunday was not my favorite day. Grandfather shut down the action. We didn't have any transportation. We couldn't drive the car. He wouldn't even let us start the motor. We couldn't ride the horses, or the steers, or the sheep.

I'm not a religious person but I do like the idea of Sunday as a day set apart from the rest of the week. It's nice to have a period of reflection and have time to think about things.

We feel like if we miss a Sunday at church, that's one thing, but we can't miss an opportunity to help.

Start your week off right by getting back to what is really important - honoring God.

Sunday is a day of rest.

Business underlies everything in our national life, including our spiritual life. Witness the fact that in the Lord's Prayer, the first petition is for daily bread. No one can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach.

If God hadn't rested on Sunday, He would have had time to finish the world.

Sunday morning church service is not an enormous priority; spending time with other believers is.
