Can't stay long tonight, gotta finish sermon prep before midnight so I can get some sleep! I really wanted to share with everyone all of the interesting things that my grand daughter and I accomplished today, but then I realized, they wouldn't be nearly as exciting for you to read about as they were for me to be in the process of sharing. The sermon has been pared down from 45 minutes to 30 minutes, give or take a couple of illustrations. I try to be sensitive to the folks in the pews as much as is possible. This is the final wind up for next Sunday's "big one!" Truthfully speaking, I know that everyone has heard the message at least once, my assignment is to refresh their memory. I pray that your Sunday is a wonderful time of sharing in the lighting of the next Advent candle and singing familiar Christmas hymns. In Christ's Love, Preacher.
