We so often try so hard to preserve the old because we love it and it worked for us and it carries memories and meaning...but there comes a time to let go. But then others throw the baby out with the bath water, to use a horribly hacknedyed expression after your lovely homily. I think the things, the doctrines, the words, tell us themselves when it's time to move on. We just need to listen.Grace thinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531868056833575601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678482213828648107.post-89216353522183822202007-07-10T03:59:00.000-04:002007-07-10T03:59:00.000-04:00What an excellent sermon- I love the heirloom illu...What an excellent sermon- I love the heirloom illustration!<BR/><BR/>Just catching up with blogs after a busy weekend :-)Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759963926280667938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678482213828648107.post-77016456039246192592007-07-09T22:01:00.000-04:002007-07-09T22:01:00.000-04:00Serena, Sure, of course.

But it is good to get a break. I have only had two Sunday's off since Holy Week, one the deacon preached, and one I was out of town at CREDO (an ECUSA clergy renewal conference). Plus, I've preached every Sunday, with a few exceptions and vacations, for the last six years...<BR/><BR/>I hope you get to preach more often!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the feedback.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15667178624061122421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678482213828648107.post-70329956831650645372007-07-08T14:46:00.000-04:002007-07-08T14:46:00.000-04:00maybe that's one of my problems. I do feel that I...maybe that's one of my problems. I do feel that I need to go for 15 minutes, and sometimes that's good, and sometimes it dilutes things. It is so crystalizing to have just one central metaphor. I like how you brought in the risks of reaching out.<BR/><BR/>Also, I used to preach every sunday (like you) and I think that's better. Now it's usually not so often. I'd actually like to get back to the every Sunday thing, with an occasional break.Diane M.

You can do it earlier if you like.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your feedback on the sermon, considering how dried up I feel at least I can still pull out a five minute homily.... :-)<BR/> <BR/>Once I got the metaphor going I guess I was ok.

I'm sorry I didn't think of that. I'm not posting mine this time. But I might keep yours around for future reference, if that's ok.
