Comments on: Picnic at the Aquarium http://www.mythoughtspot.com/2007/06/29/picnic-at-the-aquarium/ A place to store my thoughts until I figure out what to do with them.

Or, at least, not that I am confessing to. <blockquote>That’s pretty cool about being able to do the sermon. I guess that you have a few that are ready to go at a moment’s notice or do you shoot from the hip.</blockquote> They actually told me Tuesday that I would be speaking on Thursday, so it was not as short notice as it sounds. However, I am driven by deadlines. I usually don't get anything prepared more than a few milliseconds before it is due. I did happen to preach something a couple weeks ago at my church that was very fitting for this week. So I just dusted it off and polished it up for the occasion. <blockquote>how often do you include running anecdotes into your sermons?</blockquote> Hmmm? Good question. So far I can think of only once using a running illustration. I am not a closet runner, obviously you all know I am passionate about it, but yet I don't really talk about it except for here on the blog and with my family. My family probably wishes I would start talking with others so that I would leave them alone. No stolen books. Or, at least, not that I am confessing to.
