Great article. Great point. I wish sabbaticals were a required thing every three years or something. That would be sweet. I think it is cool that some people go take time to think. Like John Piper takes each summer off to write. What a great idea.
I should take more time to push ideas to fruition. I have a couple swimming in my head that I think might be worthwhile down the stretch.
