Pressure

Our family witnessed the eruption of Old Faithful two summers ago. It is spectacular.

Geysers erupt when water below the ground is superheated until the pressure can no longer be contained. 

This has been a pressure packed week. Our spring attendance campaign begins at church on Sunday. We are also starting two new adult classes. We have been busy preparing decorations, remodeling classroom space, advertising and visiting to get people to services. The clock is ticking and there is still much to do. Most things will get done. Some things will be scratched because of a lack of time. 

Pressure is a funny thing. Some look at it negatively. There certainly is such a thing as negative pressure. There is also such a thing as too much pressure. 

But there are times when pressure is positive. When we challenge ourselves. When we stretch ourselves. It’s not a place we can live, but it is a place we can visit from time to time.

When we allow ourselves to be put under pressure, spectacular things can happen.
