Vision: The cure to anxiety?
Posted on 30. Oct, 2008 by Kenny.
Okay, this is a little raw and honest. Since I got back from vacation, I’ve been struggling with anxiety.
It’s been strange. Since I’ve been doing Children’s Ministry full time I’d usually have one of “those days” every year or two. It was when t felt like the sky was falling and I couldn’t breath.

I took one class at college in hermeneutics. I actually really enjoyed the class. I knew that it wasn’t likely that I’d be using my new hermeneutical skills on a regular basis when preparing preschool lessons, but I saw great application for my own personal knowledge and development. One of the key skills taught in hermeneutics is studying the verse in context.

The context of the book, the chapter and surrounding verses can have a profound impact on the passage being studied.
Like I said yesterday, we’ve been looking at The Great Commission in our staff meetings.… Read the rest
