Wondering about my Wanderings

sermon recovery

Sermon recovery in this case means that I am still recovering from my sermon experience this past Sunday. It went real well. I got good feedback and a lot of comments said that I still had what it takes and that what I said was truly appreciated. At one point I said that it was God's message. After I said I wondered what that communicated to persons that were there to appreciate a good effort. I am sure I was meeting my own need to say that my relationship with God provided me with motive to do the best I could. I have been told to say "your welcome" by other professional pastors. I was glad to offer a message that I felt good about. I was exhausted at the end and it did not help that I could not sleep after I was done. I went to my security job overnight joy on no more than three hours sleep. I am officially saying that I am in sermon recovery for however long it takes to get my bearings. I am glad for a God that gives me space to praise and celebrate and to recover. Who knows the next sermon might be that much better (healing) than the first.
