...trudging into the distance in the bleeding stinking mad shadow of Jesus...the Lord out of dust had created him, had made him blood and nerve and mind, had made him to bleed and weep and think, and set him in a world of loss and fire... --Flannery O'Connor
Like you, I've had the honor of filling in on a couple of sermons over the past year, and I've also gone untucked. We rebels, we.
But the lines still kill me. Traffic jams, too. Perhaps one day I'll graduate from seeing them as obstacles, and instead see them as priceless souls made by the hand of God... and costing me 30 minutes on my commute!
For any interested, a podcast of my recent sermon at the Highland Church of Christ can be found here.
Great stuff. Thanks so much for posting the link. I'm going to untuck my shirt today and encourage others to join the resistance.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave. But truth be told, between you and me, the real reason I untuck my shirt is that I'm getting too fat...
ReplyDeleteMe and a couple friends were visiting Abilene last weekend and heard this. It was phenomenal!
ReplyDeleteFantastic message!
