Sabbathical Leave

one great thing I have done for myself in recent a few years... sabbatical leave. I realized that resting is good thing when we have worked steadily for a period of time, but being healthy is greater one. During one week of personal retreat, I felt not just rested, but healthy spiritually, emotionally, and physically. just as body needs good healthy discipline, our whole being, spiritual being needs discipline. Dallas Willard puts, "the spirit of discipline is nothing but the love of Jesus and its resolute will to be like the One we love." The person that I am as a whole needs to celebrate disciplines with the help of the Holy Spirit in my body and spirit.
