Sorry to have missed your message and yesterday’s worship. In my days as preacher, I had made a gaffe about where a story came from. I should have researched more thoroughly. After explaining this, I began assiduously verbalizing where stories came from, to the point that listeners complained that the thrust of the message was blunted by my verbal ‘footnotes.’ I recalled thinking that as a preacher, “you just can’t win!”
But we give our level best and “let God do the rest!” I still very much appreciate the messages you, Rich, and Meredith share!
They have a focus, sincerity, and brevity that make them so well-suited for worship today! God bless each of you and your ‘exasperating and heady calling’ that leads you boldly into the pulpit!
