Retreat, Rest, Sabbath, Vacation, Selah, Breathe, Refuge… At the beginning of the summer I wrote about sabbath. It seems right to end the summer with a review and challenge to sabbath in non-summer seasons too. Did you know that in order to properly sabbath, you need to step into a rhythm or routine, or create […]
