Yet another awesome sermon
I love Rev. Heidi. She gives the best sermons ever. Seriously. Today's was called Harry Potter's Choice (pdf). She said something that touched on something I dreamed about the other night. I was praying about needing help in the world, and please bloody do something! And I got the reply, "I'm trying! You people need to work with me! I can't do anything if no one lets me."
And the best thing about her interpretations of the Bible? She doesn't assume that everything happened exactly as stated. She's happy to admit that many of the stories are just stories, and might be combinations of myth, legend and history. I really like that. It doesn't diminish the value of the stories at all (like some people say). It gives them even more power.
p.s. Need a new religion icon. Josie? Pretty please? :) Oooooh, gonna look up the futurama eps that mention religion. Might find something good there. Like the symbol Father Changstein el-Gamal wears. :)
