A short YouTube monologue (by Scott Empringham) arguing for observing a weekly day of rest—specifically Sunday. The speaker recounts initial skepticism (viewing rest as for the weak), decides to try a day of rest, and after about a year reports it became "the best day ever." He describes typical Sunday practices: church in the morning, family time, barbecue and games, and using the day to prepare for the week ahead.

I did not believe in a day arrest day arrests were for weak people that just didn't have enough going on. I was going to just do things on all days. And when I remember when somebody said to me got to observe a day of rest, it was hard for me to get my head around but I was all in. I said, all right, I'm going to do that. Took a while for my family to get on board and after about a year of sticking with it, it's the best day ever. And there's a reason why for thousands of years it's been this piece of wisdom that's here about Sunday being a day of rest. People already figured it out a long time ago. There's a reason grind. Monday through Saturday, a day of rest. On Sunday, you try it and you really observe it. Like church in the morning for me, a day of rest, family, barbecue, games, preparing for the week. That's the beginning of the week that day. But you start off fresh.
