Sunday Re-Cap

Good day.

Due to the ice we were down a little. But all in all a solid attendance.

Preached on Heaven.

I only got in my intro and first point in the first service. Now the lay person can't appreciate the discipline of stopping short. To the preacher time moves at a different pace. Plus, they are so engaged with the sermon that they can easily forget that others have tuned out.

Yet after almost 20 years of preaching I have learned I can find a good stopping point and if need be pick the rest of the sermon up next service.

What lay people do understand is when the preacher has missed a good memorable stopping point and plods on just to finish the outline.

So in the evening I preached on....Heaven.

A high point of the AM was my taking the kids on a baptistery tour. Many of our kids are asking good questions about Christ. But, they are afraid of the baptistery. Someone saw a dead wasp in it once and that was all that it took.

The kids enjoyed it and asked good questions. We may be firing up the baptistery w/i the next few weeks.

Nice hanging out with a bunch of families @ Ben's place. Good food. Heart breaking game if you were rooting for Arizona. But that is what makes sports interesting.
