Sunday ended a long week with a service that was well supported musically, with a sermon I was not in love with, and with by far the largest single service attendance FUPC has had since my arrival (we were just short of 130 people in attendance on Easter Sunday). It was with mixed emotions that I went to Easter Lunch at my Mother In Law's house. I felt like my work wasn't done...that there must be something I have forgotten.
Holy Week went very well this year. There is no doubt though that I have a long way to grow as a Pastor, Husband, and Father. I have found that these three parts of me often fight for the same physical and emotional resources. This makes trying to figure out what to do difficult sometimes.
This week I beat myself up wondering what I could have done to improve participation in Holy Week events. I realized that I was not fair and transparent with my wife about what I expected from her over the course of the week. I found that while this Holy Week was by far the most well planned one I have had so far there were still a lot of details that got dropped or were not properly anticipated.
Oh how far there is to grow...
