Take The Day Off - De-Stress & Recharge Physically, Spiritually, Emotionally

Published: Feb. 23, 2020, 9:13 p.m.

By Richard Hunt\nSo many of us - always busy, always connected, never unplugged. \nDallas Pastor Robert Morris experienced an embarrassing moment of just what over-doing-it can lead to! \u201cI was so tired and when I opened my sock drawer, I didn\u2019t have any socks. And I actually felt myself beginning to cry, admits Pastor Morris. \u201cSo, I talked with a friend of mine and said, \u2018I think I\u2019m losing my mind.\u2019\u201d And he said, \u201cYou\u2019re not losing your mind Robert. You\u2019re just tired.\u201d\n\nThe uncomfortable sock incident led Morris to look again at the 4th Commandment in the Bible, where he says God tells us, actually commands us, to take a break, honor Him, and recharge. \n\nMorris is the founding lead pastor of the 17,000 member Gateway Church, which has multiple campuses in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex. Clearly a man of God, but also a man who needs recharging like everyone does, he decided to share his experience and solution with a guidebook, "Take the Day Off; Receiving God\u2019s Gift Of Rest."
