By experience I have learned that I rarely enter the Sabbath day with a finished to-do list. In fact, there is no such thing as a finished to-do list for a pastor. Ministry is never done. Nor is anyone’s work ever really done on the Sabbath. We rarely rest because the work is done. In fact, it often feels like there is more work at the end of the day. I normally find that I go into my Sabbath with tasks and conversations intentionally set aside for afterward.
