As the son of a farmer, where "work" is the supreme good, it took me years to realize that I am not doing anyone any favors by exhausting myself. Sandy, thanks for your feedback.

As Christina said, even Jesus took time to rest and spend time with God. God made us this way so that we would remember He is in charge and will give us the strength we need when we come to Him, "Come to me all who are weary and I will give you rest". Matthew 11:28 Blessings, Sandy Good Morning Chris,

Every pastor should read it. Wasn't Jesus always retreating to those "lonely" places - far away from the hustle and bustle? I passed it on to our pastor and his wife. I know they will appreciate it. Keep it fresh! Christina P.S. I think you meant to reference 1 Tim 5:17. There is no fifth chapter in 2 Timothy! : ) Hi Chris,

This is a great post. Every pastor should read it. Wasn’t Jesus always retreating to those “lonely” places – far away from the hustle and bustle?

I passed it on to our pastor and his wife. I know they will appreciate it.

Keep it fresh!

Christina
