My printer died on Thursday and of course, there were pressing items that needed printed and of course, I can't just run out and get a replacement since I'm 2 hours from everywhere.<br /><br />I stopped and picked up a printer on the way home from helping my son's girlfriend move into to college on yesterday. Today when we try to set up the printer, it's defective. So it's 2 hours to exchange it (making sure this one works BEFORE we leave the store) and 2 hours home and then set up time and trying to figure out how to make it print and all the bells and whistles.....can you feel my pain?<br /><br />Anyway, I have the wedding sermon and bulletin done for tomorrow afternoon and everything for tomorrow morning but the sermon (and a bulletin insert I have just decided that I will not be including). <br /><br />Fortunately, I wrote an outline yesterday morning while driving to the college. So at least there's a starting point. <br /><br />My mojo is mo-gone.

She wrote it on a rock, then gave it to the child to 'wash' in the baptismal font. The writing came off. She then explained to the children that baptism does that for us. Washes us clean. But it is up to us to put the rocks down and not haul them around. <br />My youngest was about 10 and still at 17 occasionally makes mentions of putting the rocks down.

Brought it around to institutional evils - such as racism - and encouraged us all to listen carefully to all of the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington: to be inspired to act in our own time and place to combat evil and not be tempted to be complacent.<br />Whew - 1st one preached, two to go tomorrow.Amy+https://www.blogger.com/profile/01576123442703445620noreply@blogger.com
