Today's Sermon: Sorry to keep you waiting folks
Frankly I forgot that I was filling in this morning. As most of you know the good Sister is off fixing her "crisis of faith" or PMS or whatever it is that's buggin her. I'm sure she'll fill us all in upon her return. Which should be next week!
Anyway again, as most of you know, I'm Joe. I've been a regular here for about 6 months now. Hell, I've even got a sermon in the Holy Archives. Which may be why Sister asked me to front for her today. As I certainly can't think of any other reason.
And I really don't have any thing I want to say today. I mean really, what on earth could you or I say that hasn't already been said (and better) by someone else. Yet we come here once a week. Week after week. Why?
Well the pancake breakfast is the first thing that leaps into my mind. But then I could just come after church for that.
No. There is really only one reason that I can think of. I come here to "offer" (for lack of a better word) to the nebula that is this (and really all) religion my most precious possession.. my time. Somewhere, out there in the great beyond, there is a time bank. When we are born an account is set up and one deposit is made.
Every moment of our life is drawn out of this account. And we never really know the balance.
So to come here once a week and spend what may be the last remaining moments in that account is truly a magnificent offering. It is the most anyone can offer to anyone or anything.
Now Sister left a little note here she wanted me to read.
"First off.. Thanks Joe for filling in…" Oh this is personal stuff let me skip down here a bit.. OK: "I'd like to ask all of you.. well all who feel comfortable doing it.. to send some thoughts or prayers or any kinda positive feelings you can muster up.. to a couple of our friends in Australia. They're dealing with some government bullshit right now and though I know they will triumph in the end.. well one can never have enough support in this world. Love ya kids!.. and ain't that what this is all about!!?!"
Yeah.. let me second that with an Amen. And add, though to me a prayer is just gussied-up hope it does seem to make the world go round. So we're sending some round to you two! Good luck kids from all of us.
OK.. let's eat, drink and be merry fore tomorrow.. well who knows!
