Today was quite a different day than usual. I think I overdid it over the past few days and last night my foot really hurt. My goal was to stay off my foot as much as possible. It was easier considering that I didn’t have to preach this morning. Our student ministry had charge of the service. All I had to do was open and close the service and run the sound board. By the way, they did an excellent job. I was proud of all of them, especially my son James. He had several small parts, but did just as good as the older students.

I was on my feet after service, but came home and laid on our bed with my feet up. I took our portable DVD player and watched a movie. It’s been a long time since I’ve done that. This week has made me SLOW down. I think it was a message from the Lord and an elderly lady in our congregation agreed.

This evening during spiritual formation, I taught behind a music stand and sat on a stool. I just may adopt that on a regular basis. Tonight, we wrapped up a study on the corporate spiritual disciplines and “means of grace.” Later this week, I plan on sharing some from that. It was nice to be off my feet. I have one more day of rest tomorrow. I’m hoping my foot will be much better by then. The break has been very nice. Hsve a great week.
