Glad to Be Back
A little over two weeks ago I had surgery for prostate cancer. I am happy to say I will be back preaching this Sunday, Valentines Day 2010. While I am not yet back at 100 percent (I still tire easily) I feel it is important that I get back to church and the art of pastoring because that is what I am called to do. While it is easy to get bogged down in the day to day work of the pastorate in some ways these two weeks off have been like (for lack of a better description) a mini sabbatical with pain.
The weather has played havoc on us for the first few week of 2010 and my focus has been on my health rather than the church so we have gotten off to a slow start this year. But with my good report from the doctor and putting the surgery behind me the past few days have been a time of refocus for my calling. I have been able to reflect on the direction the church is heading come up some new approaches and get back into things with some renewed energy and I am ready to jump headfirst back into things.
With Lent on the horizon with special services and activities I will need to remember to pace myself as my energy builds toward the future.
With all that said life is good and I am glad to be back.
