Just a meaningless ramble here. I'm trying to decide whether to continue my sermon series through the book of Galatians this week, or talk about Easter for the next two Sundays. I simply can't decide. It's like my mind is completely dead. I can't think. What should I do?
I hate it when this happens. Sometimes the writing of a sermon every week is just too overwhelming. I read or listen to other peoples sermons; I hear others talk about sermons they've heard... and I just can't compete. I feel like giving up. I don't think there's any way I can come up with anything at all worthwhile or able to hold people's interest - let alone able to help someone grow in their walk with God.
Yet there has only been one time when I wasn't able to pull through. I ended up showing a video. Can't even remember what now. It was after attending a preaching seminar at Willowcreek. I was so overwhelmed, and convinced I was the world's worst preacher, that I just couldn't get myself to even try.
Of course I know I'm not the world's worst preacher. And I know that it is usually the HOly Spirit who speaks through me, or inspires my preaching/writing. I'm just hoping that if I write enough here, something will come to me. Perhaps I should pray instead. Yeah, that's the ticket. That's what I'll do. Pray. Good idea!
Later. Peace. Revolution. Go.

You asked, so I'll opine: take a break and go with Easter. But, you know, if you've prayed and the Spirit leads elsewhere, you better preach when the Spirit says "Preach!"
Thanks for the input, Darrell. I think I'm gonna take the "acts of the sinful nature" in an Easterly direction. Of course, I guess just about anything can go in an Easter direction can't it? :)
Hope all is well up north. Is the wife back yet?
peace.
Things are going well, thanks. Beth gets back on Thursday afternoon. She leaves again for a shorter jaunt on Easter Sunday(!), but that's not something we're thinking about right now.
A good mention of Dr. Luther King, BTW.
