I did not sleep well, which often leads to many random thoughts... So here's what is on my mind this morning. It is disjointed at best, so I am sorry.
What is it about preaching that makes a person want to do it over and over? I have been out of ministry for nearly 2 years and out of weekly preaching for 3.5 years and yet I want to preach so bad! What is the draw of a pulpit? What makes me want to return to it so badly?
Five years ago Stacey, Jessi and Mom went to New York City for Spring Break and I elected to stay in Marion and work. I also went to see grandpa every day while mom was gone. He was already at Miller's and we already knew it was the end... It was my last year of college, my last Spring Break (or so I thought), and yet all I wanted to was work and see grandpa. What a weird week of my life! I learned a lot about who I was during that week. Those moments impacted my ministry heavily as well. You learn a lot about God watching someone die. I can't believe that was five years ago! March 2008 is really a blur for the most part... School full-time, work 30-35 hours a week and 3-7 trips to Peru per week until March 29, but I remember moments of that week like they happened today. Grandpa accusing the physical therapist of lying and cheating him. Grandpa repeatedly saying "I'm not eating that!"
I love Harry Potter and for my 30th birthday I am taking myself to Universal Studios in Florida to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!
