sabbath day

It’s been a crazy past couple of weeks.  Nothing crazy has happened–just very busy.  Lately, I’ve been using the phrase “I’ve got nothin’ left in the tank.”  I feel like I’m running on empty.  I’ve been working everyday for the past 11 days.  Not necessarily at church but I’ve been doing some freelance work as well.

(I’m not writing this for pity, just hang with me!)

After creating well, everything, God took a day of rest.  And then, in the ten commandments, we’re commanded to take a day of rest.  Also, Jesus withdrew fairly often to rest and so on and so on…  This is how I know I’m made in the image of God.  I’m TIRED.  I haven’t taken a day of rest in which the “Creator of the Heavens and Earth” even took.

So here’s a theological question, not necessarily dogmatic, about my previous statements:

Is it sinful to not take a Sabbath or a “day of rest”?

zzz…
