Today is sermon writing day. Of everything I do, this is the hardest task, without a doubt. I love preaching and I'm growing more confident in my ability to write. Still, sermon writing is a daunting task. So it's no wonder that the following comment from one of Jan Karon's "Mitford" books really resonated with me,
(Father Tim) had just written and delivered a sermon and now it was time to write another. A priest whose name he couldn't remember had nailed it: "It's like having a baby on Sunday and waking up pregnant on Monday."
From "In This Mountain," chapter 16.
