And yet more preaching
I preached at all three morning services at St Mary's yesterday. The vicar has been kind enough to allow me to preach during school holidays so I can focus on children's ministry during term time. I will post my notes soon.
I still do not enjoy preaching. I was exhausted afterwards and couldn't stop for my usual post-preaching nap as we had to have lunch with the sister-in-law. When we finally got home, I got on the couch and didn't move till bed time (so, yes just like any other day). People are always nice after I preach, some of the compliments even sounded sincere, but I don't think I'm ever going to be a great preacher. That said, I don't think I'm completely terrible either, so should i ever have a parish of my own, I'll be able to do a passable job.
