I don't rest well. I think it's a combination of dogged determination to finish coupled with a desire to please that often keeps me pushing longer than I should. But I learned a lesson from Jesus that is making it much easier for me to slow down and rest. I learned it in the back of the boat.
What do you do when you “go to the well” and it’s dry?
Two of my great loves have been increasingly difficult of late: preaching and writing. Finding the “message” in my sermon preparation has been like finding water in the desert — it’s hard! As to writing, there’s not much juice in the orange. It seems all the creativity is squeezed out.
What’s wrong?
