might we have a brief discussion about how tired i am?
i am. so tired.
poo on wanting to maintain some semblance of propriety by not having couches in my office.
poo on work.
poo on big huge homecoming sundays that sap the energy of leetle closet introvert me.
poo on preaching this coming sunday at three services, one of which must be a children's sermon, which are so much harder than "regular" sermons and leading the creatively named high school group and officiating at evensong.
sigh. and blah. and no one wants to hear this.

i think we all feel that way though. and you have sisters in the same shoe (if you will). hope you are finding more energy and less poo.
poo, indeed.
I've just scheduled a nap for November.
And children sermons are just. plain. hard (and in my humble opinion unnecessary,and Bartlett agrees.)
hmm. if it doesn't work for david bartlett, preaching-wise, that makes me feel better that it doesn't really work for me.
also, i colored luke 16:19-31 this afternoon. it was what i could do, and it was kinda fun. sharpies rock.
Bartlett said that he will preach a children's sermon in front of the congregation just as soon as we also have a 50something's sermon where we make all the 50somethings come sit in the front of the church and entertain us with their cute answers to questions. He said he's happy to take the children out of the room and have a children's sermon without an audience, but just flat out won't do children's sermons. This was part of his lecture on preaching to the entire congregation in every sermon.
This is one of many reasons why David Bartlett is a rock star.
