This is my favorite week of the year – I’m sitting in a hotel room in Palm Desert at our annual Student Ministries Retreat. It is a life-giving week that our church gives the people who serve youth workers and their spouses. While we have no formal sabbatical (how do I get in on that, come on!) but this is so generous.

So I’ve got a few blog posts set to land while I’m gone – but thought a quick list of a few past articles about vacation, comp time and retreat might be helpful. Here’s some of my favorite stuff on this topic in the past here on MTDB:

• Youth Worker Vacation Time
• Finding Rest this Summer
• POLL: Best time for youth worker vacation?
• Top 5 Signs You Know Josh is on Vacation
• Rest or Rust
• Life Outside the Church
• You Have to Turn It Off
• 3 Ways to Make the Most of Your Day Off
• Take 6 Vacations a Year
• Take a Day Off or Die
