  I smiled recently  when I read about an angry church member who blustered up to his minister, saying,  "I phoned you Monday, but I couldn't get you." The preacher explained  that it was his day off. "What? A day off? The devil never takes a day  off!" exclaimed the member with holier-than-thou indignation. "That's  right," said the minister, "and if I didn't take any 'time out,' I  would be just like him!"
    Yes, we do need  to rest. As Vance Havner used to say: "If we don't come apart, we'll come  apart!"
