My seat for “sermon prep”
I am currently heading to preach in SanAntonio and blogging with my cell phone. Please excuse the grammatical errors.
I am sitting in the very back of the van because of van is packed with our new foster kids. It is cramped, my back is hurting, the AC is designed to cool back here. It’s hot.
I was worried that my sermon would suffer because my normal routine has been severely trashed. However, the more I think about it, this could be the best sermon prep. Sacrificing yourself for others seems like the position you want to be in before preaching. I will let you know how it goes…
Facebook Backlash!
Ok, since pulling the plug on Facebook two and a half weeks ago, I get a call, email, or text almost everyday from someone new. They all want to know why they can’t find me on Facebook.

This is a warning that even good stuff can be twisted for our own selfish needs if we are not careful.
Your thoughts on the passage?
