I got an answer back about "...RE: Broiled fish: <br /><br />I got an answer back about "how would Jesus' piece of fish have been broiled?" from my "Biblical Food Expert," Fr. Doug Neel. He used to do first-century and Seder meals in this area; now he has a church in Pagosa Springs, CO. <br /><br />"Most likely the fish was filleted and the fillets were wrapped in wet leaves (fig or grape leaves) and placed in the coals of a fire on the beach. We tried cooking tilapia fillets (the primary fish in the sea of Galilee) like that and they turned out wonderful. Try it with a little pomegranate syrup brushed on the fish before wrapping or with a dusting of Middle Eastern spices or maybe a squeeze of lemon juice. Lemons were not yet present in the Middle East at the time of Jesus, but citrons were. I think the juice is somewhat similar."Mary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02970052534402740820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-55466486099796602652009-04-26T16:19:00.000-04:002009-04-26T16:19:00.000-04:00i invite any and all to come and do childrens serm...i invite any and all to come and do childrens sermons at my church. it is fun, it is cool and you NEVER know what they might say.1-4 Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05688216101068437927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-76709830520784297842009-04-26T14:55:00.000-04:002009-04-26T14:55:00.000-04:00LOL!

Jesus told stories, and he showed his disciples his hands and feet, and he showed he could eat, and then he asked them to tell the story. How do we tell the story? by living it--talking, listening, helping, loving. THE END.<br /><br />Or something. LOL. I made it up during the first service when I realized there were actually kids there, right after I thought "crap! I haven't had time to make up a children's time yet!" ha!<br /><br />and now, naptime. hallelujah indeed.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10838436991138846332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-5383714243369659262009-04-26T14:16:00.000-04:002009-04-26T14:16:00.000-04:00Surprise, Fr.

Hope it's alright to post my comments here instead.<br /><br />Regarding your sermon: Beautiful and well-woven. As questions arose during my reading, your answers followed within one or two paragraphs.<br /><br />The only suggestion I have is to offer one or two additional sentences about the phrase, "in the name of Jesus." This phrase might be powerful to some, but devoid of meaning to others. Can you offer a rephrasing of it to capture the attention of those for whom it might seem empty--maybe something about invoking our kinship with the one in whom earth and heaven meet, announcing that we do not act alone, declaring that our creative work springs not from isolation but from connection to The Creator and The Created? (My wording might be too fancy-schmancy, but you get the idea.)MaineCelthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06318937035647123010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-56039637852728794042009-04-25T22:51:00.000-04:002009-04-25T22:51:00.000-04:00SB: I hereby solemnly promise not to read the serm...SB: I hereby solemnly promise not to read the sermon before church.<br /><br />Everyone: THANKS-- for sharing your struggles and your many and varied gifts in this virtual space.

WE don't have to copy another style if it doesn't work for us. Nor should we be asked to do so, in a perfect world that is.Gordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03767921257861340046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-28332436996627980622009-04-25T22:30:00.000-04:002009-04-25T22:30:00.000-04:00Good pics cheese.

Have any of you contemplated going to work for the church in a different way? At our Conference Executive meeting last week we approved a position description for a minister of RElations and Social Justice. It is a job I could do and enjoy. THe two issues are:<br />1) I need to talk to people to determine how much travel would be involved and how much of the work can/would be done through electronic communication (for some reason Beloved wants to have me around and not gallivanting around the conference all the time)<br />2) would I miss the rhythm and ministry of Pastoral Charge ministry too much?Gordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03767921257861340046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-38659584574170718072009-04-25T22:27:00.000-04:002009-04-25T22:27:00.000-04:00Anonymous, I am praying for you.
