I'm privileged to be officiating at a funeral service today and I'm feeling quite nervous. As her Chaplain I knew the deceased well, and at the request of the family I was with her when she died. I very rarely feel nervous when I'm taking other services and I often speak to large audiences, but leading a funeral feels like an enormous responsibility and requires a huge amount of trust from the family as I write the whole service myself. So, I've been awake for a couple of hours now - even though the outline has already been agreed with the family I have it here on the bed with me just checking and double checking everything. I've even got my clothes ready and the service isn't until this afternoon.
So, what nerve-wracking things do you do that gets your palms sweaty and keeps you up at night?
