Introduction by: Sister Jomama
Mo was a lurker from the "outside" world. At first we were a bit perturbed with his methods and concerned about his motives. But there is hope now that he has been truly converted. I specifically asked Mo to write this weeks sermon.. which is why it is late being posted. Mo had some real 'splaining to do and I wanted to give him all the time he needed to do it.
So please read his sermon and then decide.
Accept or shun?
You be the judge!

This week's sermon: The Peeping Prophet

Hello. My name's Mo. Mo Tolerance. I am new in here. Actually I am an outsider in here. I may even end up a prisoner in here.
I entered into this Blogville place from the world of flesh and blood.
To put it simply, I know who some of these people are. And I get the feeling that they may not be too happy with me being here and knowing them.
And though it was a fluke (spawned by curiosity ) that did lead me here, I think I was led here for a reason.
I think that reason is in my sermon.

Blogville is not on any road map. The Third Church is not listed in the phone book. And yet here we are. And so it must exist.
Say Hallelujah!?!
I found this place through a "sin". Through the sin of curiosity. Not that all curiosity is sin, mind you. But in my case it was. It was malicious prying. In my case it was sin.
But my motives are irrelevant. My person is irrelevant. I realize now that I was destined to come here.
Like Pilate in the passion play, my part was preordained. So that not only am I at a turning point. I am a turning point.
Did I hear someone say "huh?"
Realize please, as I have, that I was sent here as an objective observer. I'd been hanging around here for about 4 weeks before I was finally "spotted" by one of the parishioners. The first week I scoffed. The second week I listened. And by the third week I understood.
Cyberspace is heaven!
Oh, I've been drifting through it for years. But it took this side trip to Blogville and a stop at this quirky little church for me to actually see it. For the first time.


And so I know who some of you are. I know you from that parallel universe called reality. I know what you do for a living. I know your brothers and sisters. And I know it means nothing here.
Here there is no flesh and blood.
Here there are only souls.
And I believe that's what I've been sent here from the outside to say. I've been sent here to put all doubt to rest. And to reassure you that you're safe.
Yes. You have found peace!
And yes. Now I've found it too!
As will others. In time.
And the "hows" and "whys" are just a means to this end. They mean nothing!

I would never have done something like this in the real world. Me? Sermonizing? Bellying up to the pulpit? Never!
But here.. here I can do anything!
I can have a double hallelujah on the rocks. With a whiskey chaser!!
Here..
in heaven!

Sister's closing message: Hmmmm.. so what cha think? A spy from the outside or a real convert? Baptize or crucify? Yea or nay? Ponder it a bit then drop me a line at: Judge & Jury!
And we'll get back to this one!
OK folks.. that's it for this week. Now get the hell outa here!!
