But on Saturday, when I intended and resolved to write my Sunday sermon, I wrote four different sermons, none of which I liked.<BR/><BR/>Part of the problem was that there are so many different directions one can go with these texts.<BR/><BR/>But I realized that another one was that while I had studied and considered, I hadn't prayed.<BR/><BR/>Yesterday, after repenting for not waiting on the Lord and prayerfully seeking God's will, I started to write. As I did, I found the sermon going in a different direction from the one I'd anticipated. It seems that God had different notions about what the congregation needed to hear today.<BR/><BR/>It's humbling after twenty-nine years of preaching to have Jesus once more teach me, "Apart from me, you can do nothing."<BR/><BR/>God's blessings to all for a good Sunday.<BR/><BR/>Mark DanielsMark Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205344762960756655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-29392619264502678762009-02-08T05:15:00.000-05:002009-02-08T05:15:00.000-05:00I'm back, right on time.

Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes (for a 1 inch thick breast) with lid off- on one side- until nicely brown. Less cooking time for thinner breasts. The juice and tequila have sugars that will blacken the chicken when grilling - so move them to a lower heat if that gets out of control. Turn the chicken and grill for another 5-6 minutes- depending on the thickness of the chicken, until cooked through and nicely browned. It should feel firm and the juices should run clear in the thickest part. Let it sit for a few minutes before serving.<BR/><BR/>Serve hot or room temp with a wedge of lime.<BR/><BR/>I cooked them in a skillet tonight--not as good as grilling but still good.<BR/><BR/>And now I am off to bed.

If you are going to bed, just leave the light on and I'll help myself ;-) And I hope you'll sleep with a smile on your face, knowing that your words stayed with someone. <BR/><BR/>One time I had someone tell me that a particular thing I'd said had been so meaningful to her, just what she needed to hear. Great, except that I absolutely knew I hadn't said that. That day was the start of my learning to try to trust that the Spirit would help people hear what they needed to hear something I now repeat like a mantra before every sermon! You all have written wise words and good news; nothing hits everyone, but I am sure each of you will have some people who hear that A+ tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>Coincidentally, I just got home from dinner at Applebees where I had...the whatever lime chicken!
