Wow, I was gone a couple of days and everything has fallen apart!
1. Greg’s pulley is shot
2. His evidently recurring nightmare of not making All-state (twice mentioned on here) is kicking in again.
3. Dianne is tiring out on running up the hills
4. Tom is a pawn in the corporate shuffle
5. Kirby died (thought that was a vaccuum cleaner…but, caught the real message quickly)
Nothing too bad happened over here. Well, I had to do the sermon sunday – this is always a humiliating experience but, I’ve grown to embrace the shame.
Tonight I went to an “artist showcase” (gag). Someone in our church is an artist wannabe and they showcase their rare gifts to humanity by sending out press releases, inviting “industry” people and other movers and shakers to their free performance. Then, they serve cheese and grapes and sparkling water…turn up the sound system and scream. No one from the industry shows up…just family and friends so that the room won’t be empty. The artist get’s the proverbial “15 minutes of fame” (depending on how long the spent eating cheese)…a few musicians got a check for backing up the artist, the facility got paid by the artist, and I got a head ache. I love the music business….
So could you paraphrase the sermon in, say, one sentence?
I COULD do that, but that would mean I’m not a REAL preacher…cause they NEVER paraphrase…to the contrary!
Actually, I’m not a real preacher anyways. I taught. And it had to do with “propreoception”. I feel medical terms and body nerve endings are underused as scriptural launching points in sermons. I didn’t say it was good!
Proprioception: The unconscious perception of movement and spatial orientation arising from stimuli within the body itself.
Sounds riveting.
You said it so much better than me!
So, now you know…the REST of the story!
It was indeed Riveting, engaging even. I had them in the palm of my hand as I dealt with their subconscious thoughts…or, was that unconscious thoughts, drowsy, sleeping in the middle of my riveting sermon thoughts… medical terms seem to be the antidote for stimuli within the body itself.
