I adapted this from an excerpt of a letter from Earnest Hemingway. He was expressing a thought about writing, but the correlation to preaching was so apparent that I had to get it down before I carried on and it was lost forever.
So here is the adapted quote …
Preaching is something that you can never do as well as it can be done. It is a perpetual challenge and it is more difficult than anything else that I’ve ever done — so I do it. And it makes me happy when I do it well.
— Brian Clark (adapted from Ernest Hemingway)
