When at 'theological cemetary', one of my tutor's favourite sayings was that he didn't want his students to become like 'homiletical battery hens'- ie being forced to churn out sermons etc too fast or too frequently.
Great idea sir- unfortunately, this is the time of year when it gets like that. I love this time of year- great chance to see loads of people, many of whom hardly ever come within the orbit of the church. But.....I do feel like a homiletical battery hen...... just pray that I might see the wonder of it all.
