Sermonizing

[lillibet]

I had this whole idea for a sermon this summer, that was about salvation in a UU context and accepting that you are loved and when I went for a walk with dpolicar to try to refine it into something that might fit in fifteen minutes, he recalled my "swimming lessons" story/metaphor and suggested that I focus on that. And when I shared my title and theme at

It really was beautifully and powerfully written and delivered. The two older ladies of the church I spoke to after the service really waxed poetic about it. Well done.

Yay! I was really happy with how it felt, like the congregation was right with me. Thanks for passing along the feedback--I have felt very appreciated for it. And thank you for being there--it felt good to share it with you.

This was very thought-provoking and phrased a lot of things in useful ways. I enjoyed reading it, and now thinking about it!

[lillibet]

Thank you--glad you found something in it.

Good sermon.

[lillibet]

Thanks! That means a lot coming from you.

! Well, that's kind of you. I hope it's personal and not because I'm a pastor. I've heard a heck of a lot of terrible sermons since getting to know a lot of pastors....

[lillibet]

Well, it's because I know you've listened to a lot of sermons and have well-exercised opinions about them, which goes with being a pastor, but isn't defined by it.

*smile* Thank you for sharing. Do you mind if I pass this on to my mother-in-law who's an Episcopalian Priest? she's always sharing her sermons with me, many about Roo, and it would be nice to share something back even if it isn't my own.

[lillibet]

Sure thing. I've enjoyed talking with her at your parties.

This really resonated with me, in part because I've been going through a round of "what next/where to?" Introspection lately.

Thank you.

You're most welcome. Glad you found something in it.
