Good, Thanks

Short encouraging Q&A exchange with the campus pastor Sunday morning at church, real brief before service:
Q: "how are you?"
Me: "good, thanks"
Q: "bet you're a little less stressed this time of year than last, huh?"
Me: "yeah, come to think of it..."

Christmas was hectic in the past: not real stressful for me being on staff at our old church, but it was a bit more hectic on church days/evenings. I didn't have alot of added responsibility, so I'm not really complaining. But this year, I don't really have anything extra - and yeah, it feels pretty good. I miss teaching, leading small groups. But it's good to be free from the responsibility for a time.
