Sermonprep is probably self-explanatory, but in case not, it refers to the process of getting a suitable sermon down onto paper. In my case this involves a Bible, a large sheet of A3 paper, coloured pencils, and the discipline to mind-map the set readings for the day…….all before I desperately start trawling the internet for ideas. When I was preparing a sermon or address every week it could sometimes be a bit frenetic, and though the process kind of rumbled on all week, the final writing up and printing out was usually done on a Saturday evening. And Oh the bad words if the printer ran out of ink or decided to go on strike or spill out gobbledegook.
Thus – I was delighted to get the service ready last night – Friday! And in case it is not obvious, I am preaching on Sunday. However, the question has to be asked – Why did I ever leave the finishing touches until a Saturday?
Hope you have/have had a good service.
Thanks, Barbara, unfortunately I had a dose of fainting – it appears that I cannot stand and deliver as it were – I run out of breath. Everyone was very nice to me though!
Good Grief Freda, you fainted???
I hope you are alright.
Put your feet up a bit will you?
Thanks Randall, my husband tells me I did a beautiful sideways fall in almost slow motion. Today I have been resting up. Am enjoying some excellent reading and TV!
