I know this is hard to believe, but I enjoy doing yard work. There is a reason for this, the nature of ministry means that you are never really finished with a task; there is always one more person to see, one more message to write one more opportunity to extend grace. It is very easy to look at ministry and ask, "Am I really getting things done?" Yard work is different, when I finish mowing, blowing and weeding, I can look at the lawn and say I am done - well at least for another week! Now this may sound silly but the lawn work gives me a sense of accomplishment - I am finished - gotta go, the phone is ringing - ministry happens!
