Easter Wipe Out

-
I preached at four services this morning, as well as twice on Good Friday -- and now, this afternoon, I'm totally wiped out.

It's a good kind of wipe out, however.

The services went really well this morning, and I think a lot of people were inspired to love God more -- at least that was I intended to happen. In all, we had over 950 in church today.

At our early 7:00 a.m. service, we had the privilege of baptizing six people. It was, indeed, a heartwarming experience!

Now, hopefully, I can rest up tomorrow, for the upcoming week, which includes two funerals.

At least you can say this -- A pastor's life is never boring.

    Mark we know how you feel! I was telling Dale today that sometimes we spend so much time preparing for Christmas and Easter, that we are too tired to enjoy the day. Today was totally worth it.

    If you truly love what you do, you never work a day in your life.

    I do not have to go to work, I get to go to work.

    Doing what you love can still be exhausting at times! Thank you for never taking what you do lightly.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
