Back in the Swing

After 10 days in Florida...a couple of days home...and then 3 days in Kentucky at the Ichthus Music Festival...I am slowly getting back in the swing of things. I don't know about you, but while I enjoy time away it can really take me out of my routine and slow me down. However, the rest & relaxation overrides any negatives that come from "down time".

From talking to pastors it seems there is a trend to NOT taking enough time off from ministry. And I'm not just talking about vacation...but also days off during the week, time spent with spouse and family, and extended "sabbath time". I try to put time on my calendar and I ask my friends & elders at church to help hold me accountable. How do you do it?
