Time For A Break?

April 22, 2008

When was the last time you got away for at least a couple days? Away from the demands and calls and emails and websurfing? Away from the emergencies and urgencies of your life and ministry?

I am right now enjoying a gift from our District Supervisor of a two day Pastor’s Getaway with our District. It’s located at a very nice resort in Pismo Beach. The meetings have been light, informal, fellowship-oriented and ministry minded. Their has also been plenty of time for relaxation and rest.

I am convinced that Pastors must do this intentionally in order to survive in the long run. So I pose the question to you?

When was the last time you did it? AND….when is your next time scheduled?

    Paul,

    What a great resource. I just worked my way through all of this. I had no idea there was so much “stuff” available for tired pastors. It’s been a few weeks since I have blogged. But my latest blog is about me looking back on what I would call a long dark season. If I remember correctly, the title is “Fatigue Makes Cowards Of Us All”.

    Oh, and to answer your question. I just got back Sunday from a two day rest at the MGM in Vegas w/ Stacey. Well, maybe rest isn’t the right word. But it sure was fun ;) !
