We are meant to work for six days and then have a one-day sabbatical; work for six years and then have a one-year sabbatical;
No more weekends, but throw in sabbatical every sixth week and sixth month and I'd have to consider it.
and, finally, work for a lifetime and have an eternity of sabbatical, an eternity of resting in God.
My rough calculation is all these sabbaticals would, overall, leave about as many work days as a three day week, only half what God put in (Genesis 1:1-3).
Sorry, I'm on sabbatical from reading Rolhieser columns.
