I just need to get it out of my head and on a screen or piece of paper somewhere. My minor worry is trying to get it all a little more focused, less complex. I've got to keep this one really shot for me, like hopefully no more than 1000 words, definitely not more than 1,200. Hard for me. <br /><br />No good excuse for the late start writing it down except a wonderful day spent with the family. Wouldn't trade that for any sermon.

That's where I am. Funny, I'm preaching <a href="http://ramblingsjesusfreak.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Prepare ye the way of the Lord</a>, but I feel very unprepared.<br /><br />I need prayer - I'm feeling stressed, and burned out. I find myself dreading tomorrow with communion at both services and communion at the nursing home service. I know I'll have energy when the time comes tomorrow - God never fails me when it's time to lead worssip. But I'm running on empty and need to recharge.<br /><br />Teri - you're right about the wine. I don't sleep as well either if I've had a glass or two.

My husband doesn't care for flannel sheets. Waah! <br /><br />But on a happier note, I seem to be done with the sermon. I mercilessly deleted my beloved beginning, reshaped what was left, and I think it will preach. It was a lot of fun learning about the author of the text of People, look east, and I've enjoyed the time I've spent with the hymn over the last few days. This sermon feels really different from my usual, but I'm hopeful it'll go all right.<br /><br />Thinking of the rest of you.
