(“YOU HAVE AWOKEN ME FROM MY HIBERNATION!” a robot bellows in a snippet of the film, which is hilariously juxtaposed with a group of bored Scandinavians looking on in despair.) By Succession’s final season, the next entry in the franchise, Kalispitron: Hibernation, has become an overlong shit show mired in expensive reshoots-turns out, a premise centered on a robot sleeping in a cave doesn’t yield anything interesting. Waystar Royco’s movie studio is responsible for the Kalispitron franchise, which Cousin Greg describes in Season 2 as “solid, mediocre entertainment.” Setting aside that Kalispitron is phonetically similar to the villainous Decepticons of Transformers lore, we know that this fictional IP is centered on giant robots and beginning to run out of ideas. Henry Ward Beecher, quoted in Ezra Taft Benson, “Keeping the Sabbath Day Holy,” Ensign, May 1971, 5.While Succession spent most of its run skewering the über-wealthy, the Transformers movies, of all things, also managed to catch a few strays in the series.It is the joyous day of the whole week.” 4 Nineteenth-century minister Henry Ward Beecher said it this way: “A world without a Sabbath would be like a without a smile, like a summer without flowers, and like a homestead without a garden. In all of these ways, the Sabbath day realigns us with the divine, and we enter the new week a new person with a new perspective. And in loving service to family and friends, we remind ourselves of what really matters. In prayer and meditation, we reconnect with God. In quiet moments of studying the word of God, we reinforce our faith. So in our places of worship, we set aside the cares of the world and feel the support of fellow believers. After six days of the worries and work of the world, we need a day of heaven. After caring so diligently for earthly concerns, we need a day to care for the needs of the soul. 2 And He asks us to keep it holy, 3 because even more than relaxation, we need holiness. In addition to resting on the seventh day, God also blessed it, sanctified it, and made it holy. We call it the Sabbath, a word that means “to rest.” But it’s more than just a break from our labors. God, who created both the world and us, knows we probably wouldn’t take a day off if He didn’t designate one for us. ![]() The temptation is strong to use every available day to get things done, to get ahead, or-more often-to catch up. 1 And He invites us to follow the same pattern.Ī weekly day of rest can seem impractical at times. In the Bible we read that God created the earth in six days and on the seventh day, He rested. But when this world was created, that hectic cycle was never the plan. We live in a time-crunched society where it seems every hour is spoken for. How often have you looked at what’s pressing in your life and said, “There just aren’t enough hours in the day”? Or responded to an invitation with “I’m sorry I don’t have time”? Or looked at the clock in disbelief and wondered, “Where did the day go?” rom the albums Come, Come, Ye Saints The Sound of Glory Then Sings My Soul and Called to Serve.From the album Every Time I Feel the Spirit.From the album O Come, Little Children. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Come to My Garden,” from The Secret Garden 3 “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing" (organ solo) For information on other airtimes, visit “Airing Schedules” at.
