"The demands of...ministry routinely cut me off from the resources that enabled me to do...ministry. I knew where God’s fire was burning, but I could not get to it. I knew how to pray, how to bank the coals and call the Spirit, but by the time I got home each night it was all I could do to pay the bills and go to bed. I pecked God on the cheek the same way I did Ed, drying up inside for want of making love.”
Barbara Brown Taylor, from Leaving Church
