It's the week after Christmas and you're wondering to yourself, "Is it okay to take some time off? Or should I keep pushing until the end of the year?" Or maybe you've already tried taking the past few days off and felt guilty about it because there's still so much to do at church.

Let me assure you, it's okay to take some time off right now! Your church isn't going to fall apart. In fact, most people in your church are on break right now too (the Sunday after Christmas is one of the lowest attended Sundays of the year). So take some time off - this isn't the week to "just finish one more project." If you're responsible for leading this coming Sunday, make sure you have things in order, then take a few days off!…
