Man, I hate getting my display stuff ready for Sundays. Actually, that's not true, I really like DOING it, but I hate that I don't have enough time to do it well. There was a day when this would have driven me crazy - not having the time to do something well. I don't know if it's because I've matured, or because I've learned to "settle" that I can now say I usually do things "not well." I just have a hard time finding the right pictures, backgrounds, etc... and it could be so cool. But... there is too much to do.
I often wondered, given the choice, if I would rather preach, lead worship, or do more administrative-type stuff. I can never decided, because I like doing all of them, but I wish I had more time to put into each of them. I guess maybe that's why I'm a good fit as a small-church pastor. I really like being a small-church pastor. I think I would be nausiated in a large church. I know I would be overwhelmed.
I just discovered yesterday that our denomination added the "Resolutions on what we believe" in the late 80's. It's on stuff like abortion, sexual immorality, child abuse, LONELINESS, human rights, militarism, etc., etc. It's prettty interesting reading so far, but... I have to say, it really disappoints me. I mean, that's one of the things I have always loved about my denomination - that we have a very few basic truths we operate from. I don't like that someone is telling us how we're supposed to feel about all these other issues. I am a little bummed about that.
Well, gotta finish my powerpoint stuff, do the bulletins, get the pre-recorded music ready, make some cards to insert in the pew Bibles, and probably should tweak my sermon. A nap sounds kinda good though. :) Not.
Take a piece of peace and add/multiply and distribute. War sucks!

Earlier in our church, I did full powerpoint presentations for every sermon. Then I went part-time. I don't do as much. I don't know whether it is settling or retaining my sanity.
