Our church family is between ministers. Several in the church are taking turns as "replacement preachers" until the real one is hired. It's sort of like the NFL Ref holdout. We are "Temps"!
I can tell you one thing though! Next time someone says preaching is an easy job because you only have to preach once a week. "How hard could that be?" Well, I can't speak for any of the others,but I have had over a month to prepare and it consumed me!
Today was my day in the box! (My turn to preach!) In my head I probably have about 7 versions of that talk and it was a constant process of: I better not say that Mr. X will be offended; If I say that I will have to take about 10 more minutes to explain; BUT if I leave that out the point will be watered down. Yikes! This is hard. O know why it is a full time gig. All that I went through was for one random Sunday. What if I had to do it EVERY WEEK!
I'll keep my day job.
