This month I'm reminded of the fact that ministry is a series of sprints followed by a time of rest followed by sprints and then a rest, etc. This month I think I could give Carl Lewis a run for his money. This is a very busy month for myself and my staff... Our capital campaign, "Building to Bless... Another Generation" is consuming a lot of time and energy.
The interesting thing about ministry is the fact that while there is very little physical effort the emotional, mental, and spiritual effort is exhausting. I know that is hard to understand in our culture of "it's only hard work if you are sweating and using physical energy" but there are days I'd prefer the physical effort over the spiritual/emotional energy.
I'm looking forward to the month of October and am praying that it will be a season of "rest" for myself and our staff so that we can catch our breath for the next sprint.
