Probably a combination of all three, but the last seems most likely. Doing by and large the same thing, week in, week out, and with precious little input. The other half of the "job" is energising and enjoyable, but that's also been getting harder of late. Except it's closer to plodding...
There are frequent days when I wonder why I bother... but then again I'm not sure what else I could do. My faith isn't going, or anything like that, but my enthusiasm for the church part of it certainly isn't very strong! I'm in a rut, and whether I like it or not, a rut doesn't leave much space for innovation - it's not quite "going through the motions", but the only revolutions are the ones that send you on in exactly the same direction, or as I sometimes think many would like, back the way we came! :)
Seeing Graham Kendrick last weekend was good, but the stresses of family didn't help. Never mind.
And of course I'm blogging this in a notionally "public" environment, when I meant to use my anonymous space and now don't have the time to change it.
To quote, as best as I can remember, Michael card:
Sometimes we soar in the power of his might,
On our own at the best, we can plod.
The Kingdom we look for is just beyond sight;
We are pilgrims to the city of God.
So, time to re-engage "plod" mode, and continue Plodding to Paradise.
