as a fulltime minister
there are times that you long for a sunday off
well we have had several of those this month
this is due to us taking time off to be with my brother
and the fact that scheduling is slow this year for itinerant ministers
when we have these days off we look forward
to attending church at our home church (gracechurchnashville.org)
then today the services at grace church
were cancelled due to snow & ice
you would think i would be thrilled for a day off
i was not
as i looked out at the white blanket
i longed to be doing what i am called to do
i felt like the quarterback must feel
when he is sidelined to save him for the playoffs
he is getting a day off
he is guaranteed to be in the playoffs
he should be happy
but he is not
he is a football player
he wants to play football
while i am not comparing myself to peyton manning
i get it
i am a minister
i want to minister
as a matter of fact i feel it coming on now
i think my family is about to get some preaching!
(insert church shoutbeat here)
