This was every bit of what I needed to read as I prepare for my last day of work Friday and my first day of freedom on Monday (MLK Day). I’ve been thinking a lot this week about the fact that particularly as black men, we have to learn to resist giving ourselves over to burnout and overachieving and learn to embrace rest and rest recovery. This is what our late heroes and ancestors died for after all, and more importantly what Jesus died for.
