Which Sermon Do I Preach?
I am in my old pulpit tomorrow as part of the church's 150th Anniversary year. So, do I~~
~~Preach the sermon I always wanted to preach but couldn't because they were paying me?
~~Preach so good they will raise me even higher in their pantheon of great preachers?
~~Preach so poorly that they will wonder how they stood me for 15 years and why they have missed me?

I guess I will just preach and let them decide which one it is.

On Travelling
It is sad when one has become such a computer/Internet/blog addict that one cannot stand trying to use dial-up in a motel. Oh, for my old home DSL.

So Now I Have to Drive Home Tomorrow
Having just checked the weather, there is a Winter Storm Watch for three-quarters of the trip home tomorrow- the last three-quarters when it will be getting dark- and then be dark. Consider that a whine.

More on Letting Go
Yes, I am learning to do it more often. Even with things that I used to think would be important. That is one of the wonders of the vocational shift I am in. Letting Go- the grief of change- is tough. But it is happening because what I am finding is just as fulfilling and joyful. Perhaps that is one of the true keys to truly letting go- knowing that what is ahead will be just as important as what is behind.

Fortunately I learned a long time ago a bit of wisdom that the grass may only look greener on the other side because they use a different kind of compost. That also helps in the letting go. And finally to know that God is in the everyday details as much as in the calling in the first place.
