This has been a strenuous weekend so far, and I feel mentally and physically exhausted. But! I still have the last half of the sermon to write! Wheee! I did outline the last half when I left it 12 hours ago, and I have played with it in my mind while I drove (though not as much as I would've liked, as one of my sons was in a very chatty mood all the way home), so I'm very hopeful I can get it knocked out rather quickly. I am soooo ready for my pillow.<br /><br />Hope some of y'all are still up and partying with me! earthchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12447310443886956100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-22807627802750467732013-06-22T22:40:30.455-04:002013-06-22T22:40:30.455-04:00So glad you got a little break.So glad you got a little break.esperanzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508921986071164221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-12922031745712195372013-06-22T22:00:55.827-04:002013-06-22T22:00:55.827-04:00Hey preachers!

A couple of months ago, I read a devotion about the jailer in Acts 16. I realized I've never read acts from the point of view of the people who were converted. So the next three weeks I'm in Acts 16. I know there is no record of what became of the slave girl so not a conversion story there, but still a story. Tomorrow we will look at Lydia. The reason I'm posting asking for a little prayer. Tomorrow I'm taking a big leap and going in without notes. I'll tell Lydia's story in a monologue from her "friend" in four movements: dealer in purple cloth, down to the river to pray, enter Paul with the good news, Lydia's response. Then go back through the movements in terms of where we might be in the story. This is a huge step for me, so prayers appreciated. Rev.

Inspiring and impressive!<br /><br />I was industrious earlier today on some other things, but now I'm dragging severely. Made major headway on several other projects, but not the sermon, and now it seems like finishing those other things and starting the sermon will NEVER happen. Oh, I also need to do laundry and pack for camp, which starts Sunday afternoon/evening.<br /><br />These long daylight hours are lovely, except they are fooling me into thinking I have much more time than I actually do :)semfemnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-52479083960632010932013-06-22T19:51:25.969-04:002013-06-22T19:51:25.969-04:00Looking forward to the shift to WordPress.

I'm finding I'm much wordier with an outline. I don't know if it's because I try to cram more in or I just ramble a bit. <br /><br />We're going to think about the times, like Elijah, when we think everyone is out to get us, or we're overwhelmed by the size of the responsibility or we think we are the only one doing the job. And then think about how God meets us in the wilderness, and provides for us there (and how worship is one of those places of provision). I'm inviting people to cry out to God in the form of prayers on index cards. I'm including a spot in the prayers of the people for everyone to pray theirs silently. And then encouraging everyone to lift up 'the silent prayers of our congregation' in their prayers this week. I figure, we're outdoors so their already out of their comfort zone, so maybe they will be more open to doing this. <br /><br />I discovered that I should actually play the music before I decide it's something I can play! I had to change a couple of songs. So glad I didn't print the music out earlier this week like I planned!<br /><br />Good thing it doesn't get dark till almost 10 - I still have about an hour of work before I can get in the garden!ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01034492637745064803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-251491293702837232013-06-22T19:44:19.539-04:002013-06-22T19:44:19.539-04:00At the beginning of the week I wondered to myself ...At the beginning of the week I wondered to myself when I read David Lose's cautionary note, "What's this all about?"
