But, why would you not even attend your own church? That I don't get.

This is what I don't get. I can understand a vacation, and believe everyone deserves one. And if he wants a break from preaching, I can understand that too, but to not even attend service? To me that all but disqalifies a man from getting up and preaching to anyone else about coming.
Some may call it judging, but *based on the limited information available*, I dare say such a man has no business pastoring, sounds like He needs to find a place of real prayer.
While I'm on opinions, I will briefly say this- Where has the comittment gone, where has the joy gone? When did living for God become a burden and something we need time away from? Woe unto all of us in this modern generation, myself included, if we don't get ahold of a real love and relationship with God.
Our churches need revival, our pastors need revival, and our saints need revival. Most can't reach the world, because they are to busy living in their new found "freedoms" (easily confused with worldliness). And what I find astonishing is some people think its no big deal to take a month off of church (am I reading your posts correctly?), and that for some on this board, none of this seems to matter at all.... Then again, why am I suprised?!
