The Sabbath is biblical, but what about a Sabbatical?

I do try to observe the former every seven days, but after 25 years of hard work I've never taken a sabbatical.

Every seven years? A cool drink in one hand and a remote control in the other with 500 channels? Or some analog equivalent. Maybe a remote location... a mountaintop or desert encounter with God on friendly terms would do... away from the usual daily grind.

I've wanted one of those sabbatical thingies, and admittedly I've coveted a few that were taken by others, but my sabbatical has thus far eluded me.

I did take a sabbatical from Whirled View Blog, more by default than anything planned. I hope and expect to have now returned, although this was no sabbatical as those are meant to be. I've just been consumed by other things, though I've thought about Whirled View every week.

So I hope to be correct in thinking that I'm back now.

And I do hope to some day take a real Sabbatical.

Grace and Peace... and hopefully a God-like whirled view... we all need at least these three things.
