Vacation

So it's been a while since I have written anything...I am currently sitting on the beach enjoying a much needed vacation after a long summer of planning for the fall and lots of busy weeks of camp. I know that it was worth it and relationships with lots of kids were deepened with Jesus, but I have mixed feelings about being out of the office for that many weeks. Part of me enjoys the break in the monotony while another part of me feels as if I should be busy doing other things. Worse yet, why is it that us within the ministry profession feel as if we are neglecting our ministry if we take a short break or vacation? Is that an honest assessment? Anyone else feel that way? Sometimes I wonder if we feel that way because of the burden on our hearts to see people's relationship with Jesus deepened, or if it's because we find ourselves working too hard at the wrong kinds of things.
One of my goals when I get back in the office (after cleaning it from top to bottom) is reevaluate my schedule to better accomplish the relational style of ministry Jesus!
On a side note...I have been reading Shane Hipps book about the hidden power of electronic media on our culture. GREAT BOOK! I highly recommend it...
Till next time...

Shalom
