Column: Pastor - GET SOME REST
You would think that now with all our ‘downtime’ resulting from less work or no work people would be resting up a bit. Changed schedules and a generally slower pace would seem to provide for many of us a bit of a break from our normal business.

However, I recently listened to a Year 12 student lamenting his interrupted year. It would impact his plans for his future life, going to uni, studying for his career; now his whole world had been disrupted. Not only had he been shaken but he detected a new level of anxiety amongst his fellow year 12ers. It was, he said, causing a worried sleeplessness amongst his classmates. You can’t blame them really. You plan everything out and then your plans are dashed. Your future looks bleak or non-existent at least for a while. Things will of course get better but you don’t see that at first.

So, rest is not so easy to get even when we are ‘less busy’. I find that adjusting to a new schedule, a new way of doing things that came as second nature, takes some time and energy.
