How to Spend Your Day Off

Colin Adams, Associate Pastor with Charlotte Baptist Chapel in Edinburgh, shares ten guidelines that he tries to follow in spending his days off.

1. Thou shalt not under any circumstances ‘work the job’ on this day.
2. Thou shalt not neglect small and satisfying tasks.
3. Thou shalt not neglect biography and other soul assuaging books.
4. Thou shalt not ignore friends and family but enjoy the company of one’s nearest and dearest.
5. Thou shalt not fail to have unhurried conversation opportunities with one’s wife.
6. Thou shalt not neglect ‘getting away’ from the city for a change of scene and a breath of fresh air.
7. Thou shalt not neglect prayerfully watching over one’s soul and in hearing the Word of God.
8. Thou shalt not fail to give quality attention to one’s children.
9. Thou shalt trust God, who works even while we rest.
10. Thou shalt not blog.

What would you add to or subtract from this list? What do you typically do on your day off?
