Feeling worn out, stretched thin, or tired to the bones? In this episode of Tracks for the Journey Magazine, Larry Payne offers three short features for your well-being.

First, Sabbath Time: an ancient rhythm of rest, drawn from Wayne Muller's wisdom, that you can practice without taking a whole day off.

Next, six fresh images of God, from sunlight and ocean to conductor and weaver, to help your faith grow.

Finally, five things never to say to someone who is grieving.

Listen to come away with permission to rest, new ways to picture the Divine, and kinder words for a friend in loss.
