Vacation - n. a period of rest from work, study, etc.
That is Webster's definition of vacation and I like it. I hope you have been able to vacate this summer and get a little rest with family and friends. The Bible uses the word "sabbath" which literally means to quit what you are doing. Now that is not a permanent quiting but a temporary time to stop doing work and enjoy life. I am going on vacation in a few weeks with my family and I am looking forward to it! We all know that life happens at frightening speeds and if we don't take time to slow down or as John Ortberg says practice the art of slowing we will be no good for anyone or anything. I pray you practice the art of slowing this summer and enjoy what is left. What did you do on your vacation this summer or hope to do? P.J.
