Sometimes when I know the other cook is...Hi Betsy!<br /><br />Sometimes when I know the other cook is going to carry the show, I go ahead and just bring something very simple and very "old school." Deviled eggs (OK, maybe not VERY simple since they're sort of time consuming, but not too bad), dip in a bread bowl... nothing else is coming to me right now because my mind and stomach are stuck on the deviled eggs. Anyway, I figure I'll just let the other cook shine, and the classics are always appreciated!<br /><br />I've got a start. I think it was Pearl's sermon that reminded me I was going to use Susan's "cancelled Pentecost" experience from last week. It works as my way in beautifully. The apostles may have wanted to cancel Pentecost, too, if they had known all the trouble that would be stirred up. Bam! Let's write this baby - - - after I sleep a couple of hours.<br /><br />Heading to bed in about 10 minutes.

I am doing absolutely everything except the last paragraph of my sermon. Why do I do this to myself? <br /><br />We were invited to go to a friend's brothers tomorrow afternoon; it will be lots of fun. We are supposed to bring an appetizer. Brother is a fabulous and creative cook, and I feel like anything I bring will be dull by comparison.

Thankfully a couple of comments around here got my juices flowing SLIGHTLY, and I have a jist that's OK.<br /><br />Without whole lot of direction I named the sermon (mid-week) "Stirring Up Trouble" partly because that's what I thought I might do. Here's my sort of thought tonight, but I don't have any kind of outline, illustrations, meat, or flesh. Might be a long night. How is it that I'm THIS uninspired on PENTECOST of all weeks?<br /><br />The Spirit stirs up trouble, makes them do things they never even dreamed they could do.<br /><br />Makes them do things everyone else mistakes as drunken - - uninhibited - - behavior<br /><br />What trouble could we get into? What inhibitions to do we need to let go of, even just a little, but probably a whole lot, so that all of God’s people can participate?Stephanie Anthony/She Revhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10089531643725874239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-31554655442611794262011-06-11T22:39:02.741-04:002011-06-11T22:39:02.741-04:00I found this awesome video and got his permission ...I found this awesome video and got his permission to use it in worship. http://www.wherethehellismatt.com/ Click on the dancing -- so much fun! I decided I would start the video and tell the kids that the Holy Spirit is dancing through our world, just like Matt. and at some point, the world just can't ignore it any longer and it catches on. And when it catches on, we will all be changed. We're also going to have balloons and pass them out after the benediction. Then we'll all release them "in the sanctuary." (we didn't want to harm any birds). We figure the sexton won't be too happy with us, picking up balloons all week. But we also thought that seeing a few balloons hanging on through the week would be a testament to the Spirit's presence among us.Rev.

Here's something I'd like your opinion on. I RSVPd that we'd go to the wedding reception and I shouldn't have. I usually don't go to receptions or rehearsal dinners, but we are close to the groom's mother and I felt I should. However, the groom and his family are the *only* people we know. We have been drowning in work, deadlines, and special events lately and I'm leaving town in a few days. Tomorrow, in addition to regular church stuff, I am taking the youth bowling right after church, then I have a couple of hours to shift gears before doing the wedding. Staying for the reception (on a school night, too!) just seems like too much.<br /><br />I know it's terribly poor form not to show up for a reception after having RSVPd yes (I had people do so at my own wedding, and I know the frustration of having to pay for people who said they'd show but don't). BUT. I'm seriously thinking we should bail for our own sanity. Can I get an Amen, or am I out in left field?earthchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12447310443886956100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-38947877768166911002011-06-11T21:15:02.249-04:002011-06-11T21:15:02.249-04:00Home from morning worship, it is a long weekend fo...Home from morning worship, it is a long weekend for Queens Birthday; Monday is a public holiday, so numbers down. <br />Pentecost on a grey, drizzling day, I found it a bit hard to get in the groove of Pentecost, some days are like that. <br />The fan and streamer bit worked well - thanks to?? .
