Good Nap

The last few weeks have been very draining.  Easter is always busy for a pastor, but this season has been wheels-off.  God has been blessing PVC so incredibly, and Satan has stepped up his attacks accordingly.  Today, i realized i’m just plain tired and worn out.

Don’t get me wrong, i love what God has called me to do, and i count it a privilege to be the Pastor of Palm Valley Church.  It’s what i want to do with the rest of my life!  Last weekend alone we had 65 new visitors to Palm Valley, and 10 people visited the Fresh Start table to indicate that they had invited Christ into their life during one of the services!

However, i’ve also had to deal with a lot of crud (that’s a biblical term). As a community of believers who are not perfect, we all carry alot of baggage.  Sometimes, that baggage pops open and causes damage in our lives, and the lives of others.  I’ve seen a lot of open bags these last few weeks, and it’s not been fun, it’s plain drained me.

So, today i did the most spiritual thing i could think of.  I took a nap!  Lori cleared out the kids for me (thanks honey) and let me get a couple hours of rest, it was wonderful!  I woke up feeling better, and beginning to look forward to the weekend at Palm Valley!  I think i’ll put it on my schedule to take more naps.
