After spending the last two to three years blogging on my .mac account, I've finally given up and come back to blogspot, mainly because of convenience. I won't bore you with the details, but it got to the point where it took 20 minutes or so to download one simple post. That got to be a hassle and I think was a big reason I stopped posting very regularly. So, I'm creating a minor inconvenience by telling people to come back to this site, but it's a lot easier for me so I appreciate your patience and understanding. I'll still podcast from time to time and I'll need to send people back to the other site for that, but, for now, this will be the place.
I was also back in the saddle in that I preached for the first time in close to five months today. I'd forgotten how much I missed it. I've been speaking at other churches in September and October, but that was essentially giving a stump speech about the new church. This felt like an actual sermon (going off a theme, picking a text, etc.) and I think it went OK (it was at Prince of Peace United Methodist Church in Elk Grove Village). One thing that threw me this week was coming up with a new schedule for sermon preparation. In my previous church, I was used to spending an hour or two every morning during the week doing the prep work. This week, it was kind of scattered. I need to be a more regimented this week as I prepare the sermon for our first worship as Urban Village Church. I'm pretty stoked for that. It's all coming together...
