My flesh and my heart faileth:
but God is the strenght of my heart, and my portion for ever. Psalm 73:26 I do not believe I have ever encountered a more prolonged period of physical exhaustion and mental tiredness than I am experiencing now... This evening I took the liberty to attend my congregation's choir rehearsal which is held for its members every Friday evening from 6:15 to 9:45. While I am not a member of the choir itself - I cannot sing to save my soul - I am permitted to attend rehearsals whenever I want because I'm listed as an elder in the fellowship...
For awhile now, actually for the past several years, I had hoped for the chance to resign from my position as inmate pastor and worship leader...
One of the obvious reasons why my strength is at such a low level these days is because I usually allow others to place too much on me. Always feeling the need to be a "Mister Helpful," and by nature being an insecure approval seeker, I've always had trouble with saying the word, "No..."
Earlier today I received a surprise visit from my friend, Dan. We spent approximately two hours in the visiting room talking, praying, laughing, and enjoying our time together...
I continue to receive good reports from those who have been touched and inspired by my story of forgiveness and hope. Such reports always give me great joy, and I give thanks to the Lord Jesus because He is the one who's doing this...
