After preaching weekly for three months now, it is going to be weird to wake up tomorrow morning and not head off to Sardinia to preach. I am guessing it will not even feel like a Sunday. This certainly does not feel like a Saturday night.
It is probably good for a preacher to take a Sunday off now and then and equally good for the congregation to hear from somebody else now and then.
But I think I will actually miss being able to deliver a message tomorrow morning.
Although I am taking a short break from teaching, I have not taken any break from sermon preparation. I have been looking over the passage I intend to use June 18th and I am excited about the possibilities.
At one time I couldn’t imagine finding enough to say week after week for even a year. Now I am consistently frustrated by not having enough time to cover what needs to be covered.
All this to say: I intend to enjoy tomorrow morning away from the pulpit but I also know that I will enjoy next Sunday morning even more.
