Nothing to Say

Woke up late yesterday and checked my watch to see if i could make it in time...reach the church before the service ended. At least i would not be late for the youth service where i had to preach. Yes me - preach. A joke. A short sermon they said. I'd declined many times before. No escaping.

Standing in front of our small congregation... the youth barely total up to form a football team.. Cant be so hard i said to myself.... Ive even "performed" in front of a crowd of not less than 400 people during the [cough] wild days of my youth.. But preaching? in a church...Daunting.

Took a taxi and off i went. Put on my media player to calm my nerves and the song that comes up is Soundgarden's Nothing to Say... i'd recently downloaded their old A-sides compilation album..love it.
Sorry i digress...well the song was not very encouraging. Switch it off.

Thumbed through the pages of my little Bible "revising" what i planned to preach and by the time the gates of the church appeared i was in total confusion. I shall end here and report no more. Nothing to Say.

  • In other news... the World Cup...the team that i support is doing fine...oh yes i included a LOT  of football in my sermon .. this much i shall reveal. Thanks to a tip from Sekibuh Chhuak.

  • What else?.... oil is spilling and some bands are boycotting BP.

  • I came across an interesting topic. Mother Teresa / The Missionaries of  Charity. In bad light. Lots to say. One could start by  visiting this facebook group to get an idea - STOP The Missionaries of Charity. As i am in the city of the Saint this is something i shall to try to investigate further. Time to put my degree in journalism to use.

    Coincidentally (Or not!), our Church member who delivered the Sermon last Sunday even made a lot of references to the current World Cup football.. Was it you?! hehe..
    I'm not a speech guy, don't remember the last time I said anything in front of a crowd... of more than three.... people... who were physically present... just to listen to me.... etc etc..

    Would love to hear what you managed to preach. Nothing about graphics or designing I hope :D On the first day, God made the layers and base template, on the second day he created masking and vector images with lighting effects, etc etc :D

    Ummmm try this if you have to speak about His words... speak not from your wisdom but try and let the good Lord speak through you...
