Revelation 5 and the ramp-up slowdown

tFor those of you that are interested in last weeks sermon, you can Download sermonrev5.mp3 .

One of the issues I always struggle with when preaching at my church, is how do I translate  my 28y.o speak to a group of retired folk, not to mention the various theological differences I know that we have.  I have learned so much about the pastoral task of understanding the needs of the congregation while working at my church.

This week is going to be stacked...more than any so this week.  Next weekend we fly down to my parents house for a vacation.  I can't begin to think how nice it will be to take a break.  I always find it odd that we have to go full-tilt before a break, and then never really recover.

Hopefully I can get things rolling here more this week, I know it has been light and I apologize.

I totally agree. Where's the rhythm and harmony between toil + rest? I foolishly thought the "tyranny of the urgent" was more of being young and inexperienced, but now marriage, working and with kids there it is all the time. Slow. Down. Oh. My. Soul.
