My friend Eric offered a thought-provoking post a couple of days ago on the observation that it takes approximately 10,000 hours of doing something to become an expert at it. So many implications . . .
does that mean I have to give 10,000 sermons before I'm an expert at it? Crap! If I preach for one hour a week - it would take 192 years to become an expert...and I like 30 minute sermons...which is 384 years. I think that math is right!
Sharon, I think you can short cut that to include preparing to preach, listening to other preachers, and other speaking engagements...That out to cut it down to only 100 years. :)
I've been happily married to my best friend for 13 years. Barb and I have three awesome kids--Oscar, Edie, and Naomi. We live in Toledo, Ohio where we recently moved to begin the journey toward a new worshiping community (aka church) called Emmaus Road Church.
