Good blog article about keeping the Sabbath. When you're a pastor and other church staff member, it can be difficult to have a proper Sabbath. Pastors who want their flock to volunteer and serve more may unintentionally put demands on people's Sabbaths. And if you're like me and enjoy the work you do, you're tempted to carry on that work over the whole weekend! This writer speaks to the need for Sabbath---which, after all, is a divine command, and a precious thing that my Jewish colleagues affirm as a "sanctuary in time" (Heschel's term).
