Vacations
Tamara and I were planning to take an extended vacation / sabatical for 3-months at the beginning of next year. I just finished reading a very interesting article about vacations and sabaticals that has kind of made me think about what I want to accomplish during our time away.http://bolsinger.blogs.com/weblog/2005/09/vacating_or_rec.html
But biblically, we have a different model woven into the creation accounts that is inextricable with our understanding of "sabbath". Sabbath is not primarily about rest, it is about communion and reflection. When God "rests" in the first Sabbath (Genesis 2:1-3) it´s not because he is tired or needs to "get away from it all" (he just created a perfect place for a vacation!), but instead he simply stops working and enjoys what he has made.It was a good read and got me thinking...
There is already a pretty interesting comment already attached to it.
