I thought this kind of theme was where I was headed with my sermon this week. But, alas, it's not to be. I still kind of like this direction...perhaps I could save it for a study, or some sort of guided prayer time...
Luke 19:40:
He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out."
What is so real for you, so true, that if you didn’t share it, even the stones would cry it out for you?
It may be a burden that you’ve been living with for years, something you just don’t want to carry around anymore, something that is ready to be released. Or it may be an enthusiasm and an excitement about something that you just can’t keep to yourself anymore! Or it may just be a yearning to be more fully yourself, more fully the way God created you to be, instead of fitting yourself into a mold that someone else crafted for you at some point.

from the cutting room floor
Love this quote from workingpreacher.org, but couldn't make it fit into my sermon for today.
“We can understand the economic and charitable logic beneath Judas's criticism, but we should also recognize that it resembles a rigorous, unyielding piety that cannot stomach a wild love like Mary's. Acts of true grace and love regularly get slandered as deviance.”

yardage
see more Lolcats and funny pictures
This may be the most boring post you'll ever read from me if you have no remote interest in swimming or fitness, but for my own sake (and maybe for posterity's sake), I am posting the swimming yardage that I did this morning.
It makes me feel good to harken back to my high school swim team days and think in this kind of structure about swimming.
1 x 100 yd freestyle (with flip-turns!)
1 x 50 yd pull (just arms)
1 x 50 yd kick
1 x 50 yd backstroke
1 x 50 yd breaststroke
1 x 100 yd freestyle (with flip-turns again!)
(all of the above 2 x's total) = 1000 yards
bonus 100 yd = 25 yd freestyle sprint followed by 50 yd freestyle easy then final 25 yd freestyle sprint
Whew! 1100 yards in about 35 minutes this morning! Onwards and upwards!
