Thanks for a good post. I always looked forward to the weekends, but never cared about starting it off in the preaching work. I always hated going door to door, disturbing someone's time preaching some half-assed doom and gloom message I had a hard time accepting. However, it was drummed into my thinking that Jehovah will bless your weekends by engaging in his work first. Therefore, I only allowed myself a 2 hour maximum for the weekend service and it was only for the morning portions.
Now, my weekends are more meaningful to me and I have no problem filling it in with more exciting things.
