I know there are at least a couple clergy-types who stop by and read occasionally. And if preaching a sermon is anything like teaching, you sometimes wonder if anything you are saying is affecting anyone in your congregation in any way.

 

Well, it is. Even if no one tells you that.

 

Heard a great sermon yesterday that just really struck a cord and helped with the whole "getting over myself" thing. The pastor wove together St.Paul, St. Augustine, Luther, and Emily Dickenson in a way that really worked. Rock on, Pastor E!

 

And yes, I did tell him.  I know it helps to hear that sometimes.
