These days, we seem to be busier than ever. Between our jobs, our families, getting together with friends, other social obligations, sports, clubs, hobbies, texting, facebook, and on – and on – etc., when do we slow down? When was the last time you just sat in a chair and did absolutely nothing? When have we just taken a vacation from all our earthly obligations to remember how our relationship with God can bring us the peace that passes all understanding? Listen as Pastor Schmidt talks about “Time to Take a Vacation.”
