wrriting a sermon

Dec 12, 2006 23:59

I'm reading torah this Shabbat, which means I'm also speaking briefly Shabbat morning. I recently got some valuable tutelage in sermon-craft, which I would like to apply (even though it's really a micro-sermon or micro-d'var). This involves approaching it a little differently, and I was a little stuck for how to start, being new to this.

There are several themes I could develop from this portion, and I was about to post an entry about that, when bam -- the full outline, including how to start (the hard part), announced itself. I don't think that's ever happened to me before, at least not that dramatically.

Now, to write. Tomorrow we'll see if it was actually a good idea. :-)
