The post-Christmas lull is a lie

This it the latest thing I have learned on internship. I was expecting January to be quiet and slow. Actually, I was a little concerned that it would be too slow after all the fun and festivity of December. But I now know that my concern was misguided. There is no such thing as a post-Christmas lull.

The last couple weeks I've been out and about almost every weeknight. I've participated in two funerals. I've been in on confirmation and visiting. I've enjoyed fellowship with a delightful variety of people. I preached and led worship as pulpit supply tonight. The list goes on, and it all adds up to no fear of boredom.

I much prefer it this way, though one of these days I could use a couple of slow evenings to do catch up at home. Tonight I finally did my nails (important stuff!) and next on the list is putting away my Christmas decorations. One year I left my Christmas tree up until Holy Week. I don't necessarily want to challenge that record, especially since I hear the post-Easter lull and the summer lull are just as mythical as the post-Christmas lull!
