Depletion

So I'm completely depleted of energy. I had an elder resign this week to my dismay and all because somebody doesn't like somebody else. I can deal with conflicts in the church when they are about worship or emotions tied to the church in general, but I don't do as well when one person just doesn't like another and makes rude comments, (on both sides in this case) about the other and then swears they can "be nice" to one another. I don't ask for niceness!!!!! Maybe I set the bar to high and ask for forgiveness so that we can offer each other God's peace without wishing God would withhold it from someone! What, in fact, does living in community mean????!!!! So I'm depleted because I've thought about this way too much this week and because it's the start of Lent and I've had a lot of services to prepare and consider. So today is my day of rest, for tomorrow I teach a presbytery workshop and Sunday I lead worship. May God honor my Sabbath.
