Preaching at a country church..continued
« on: February 11, 2024, 07:23:39 AM »
  I just want to post an update.  The engagement was for just a month ago, but a snow storm intervened, so we postponed it until last night.

   So, I drove over there... light dinner at 6 PM, service starts a 7 PM..

  I opened with joke and read (James 2:1-9), warning the folks that the message may be lengthy, and employed th eold jest , while placing
   my watch on the podium. 
   I figured an hour, but the people were enthusiastic'and it went an hour and a half.

  Many hands to shake and hugs to recieve,  Request of their pastor.. by congregation, to have me back at some time soon..

   They presented me with a generous honorarium.

   ..Just an update, no need to reply or stir things up anew.
.
If you don't want the truth, don't ask me.  If you want something sugar coated...go eat a donut !  (anon)
