right, I'll bet you lunch tomorrow at my favorite restaurant." 

Could I pass up something like that? All the evidence pointed to that
person, and none to the wife. 

"I will take you up on that bet, and I can't wait to have lunch at my
favorite restaurant tomorrow." 

Walking back into the kitchen, I could hear her chuckling. I had never
known her to be wrong like this, and I was preparing myself for a grand 
celebration at my favorite restaurant tomorrow for lunch. This will be 
the first time I have ever won a bet against her. I must jot this down 
and record it because it may never happen again. 

Returning to the mystery movie, suddenly, everything began to change.
The man they thought did the crime had an airtight alibi, then the 
unthinkable happened. 

The alibi of the wife began to break down as the detectives re-examined
the evidence; they saw it differently to their surprise. 

As it turned out, all the evidence revealed the wife killed her husband,
and she was the murderer. 

I heard some chuckling from the kitchen area and wasn't going to ask
what was happening. I knew exactly what was going on. 

At lunch, the next day, all The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage could
do was smile as she read through the menu and placed her order with the 
waitress. 

I've never known her to order so much for lunch. 

Driving home from the restaurant, I happen to think of a verse of
Scripture found in Matthew 11:28-30. “Come unto me, all ye that labour 
and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, 
and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find 
rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” 

If I want real rest from my labors, it will only come from my
relationship with Jesus Christ. Nothing can compromise that rest.
