  Ok, so it may seem like no one except me is actually reading this because there are no comments to any of my postings. But several of you have talked to me in person about things I have posted on here, so I know that there are people interested in this. I'm cool with that. Feel free just to lurk and read, to read and talk to me in person, or to post for everyone to read. To each their own. You may have noticed that I haven't been posting as often in my sermon writing process as possible. This is mostly because my summer is kind of busy with trips. I did a lot of thinking and some writing about my July 4th sermon while on the youth mission trip (just ask Dana and Emily, "Measure twice! Pray twice!"). Unfortunately, I'm going on vacation tomorrow so I won't be able to post my thoughts and work for my July 18th sermon. Hopefully, in August things will settle down and I will be more faithful to posting my work on furture sermons.
