Yesterday I received a phone call from someone booking their preaching plan for 2008.  With only four of their Sundays left to fill, the only one I could offer was December 7th!

Meanwhile, I am being driven to distraction by the lack of urgency about folk on my doorstep to plan a service on 25th December this year!   With one spare evening between now and said date, I eventually unilaterally declared a planning meeting - and I am waiting for anyone to let me know if they're coming.

Somewhere in between must be a happy medium, surely?!
