Today's Sermon: On A Wing And A Prayer.
Hmm-OK. Imagine yourself floating down a stream..
a stream of consciousness..
of cool clear consciousness and..
Oh crap!
Crap! Crap! Crap!
I don't have anything prepared!! Really!! I have no idea.. not a clue what my next sentence will be. Perhaps there will be a pregnant pause. Or an awkward silence. A sudden need to clear my throat.. to buy some time.. to collect my thoughts.
Then spew em out with nervous stutter and reiteration.
Or something like that.
Oh the fire and brimstone of being unprepared.
Ah.. here comes the sermon. I hear you saying to yourself. And you know I probably could run with that. Make something outa it. Or whip up something else just as easily. No really!
Something like… Ahh! OK.
Unpreparedness though not a sin, is most certainly a failing. But of course the character of the human race is worm holed with failings. That's why we have religion. And blah.. Blah.. Blah.
I mean it's not that I've run outa flaws to point out and rag upon. Finding a topic will never be the problem. But frankly.. sometimes.. finding a reason to care is!
And not caring.. well now that is a sin!
Preacher.. heal thyself.
And so that's what I intend to do.
I am taking a little retreat. Just for a week. I'm hoping to find someone to fill in for me.. it's just one Sunday. Open pulpit! Think of it as one of those reality based shows we all love so much.
Something like.. "The Calling"
Yeah! "Do You Have.. The Calling?"
Hey.. this may be your 15 minutes of fame folks. Don't let it pass ya by. Hell maybe even the Big Guy himself will take notice!! Ya never know!
And if that's not enough here's some more inspiration for ya.. If nobody submits anything Joe said he'd get drunk and.. now let me get this exactly right.. he'd get drunk and "throw up something good".
Think I'll go pack now!
