So what is it about naps on Sunday afternoon when you work in the God business?
I came home today after church. It had been a light day with no preaching responsibilities, just our two services lightly attended due to the holiday, no visits to the homebound afterwards...and after a bite of lunch, I utterly conked out on the couch for two hours. And I mean comatose. Afternoon of the living dead.
PH is taking me out for supper tonight - yay - and that's about the extent of my energy level.
Interestingly, just about every clergyperson I know also takes a Sunday nap.Who knew that this was part of the gig?
They should ask during the Commission on Ministry interviews: "Ms. Mibi, are you capable of afternoon siestas on the Lord's Day? It is a job requirement, you know."

I don't take naps as often on Sunday as I used to, but some weeks they are absolutely essential!!!
ReplyDeleteHaving Monday off is pretty nice, too.
It's funny, but I started the Sunday afternoon nap thing at the beginning of my ordination process as an intern. It wasn't intentional, it just happened.
