January

Hey. Anybody else up yet? It's after 7:00, so I'm guessing that some of you are.
Me? I'm the only one awake so far. That could change at any moment, though.
I'm just sitting here, enjoying some coffee, thinking about the day.
I've got my non-notes ready to be preached. Last Sunday was low-energy, so that felt stunted. But I've got some good stuff for today. I think. The lectionary included 1 Corinthians 13 this week, and I figured it'd be good to reclaim its message as something more than just a wedding text. Because it really is much more than that. "Faith, hope, and love abide...and the greatest of these is love." How many Christians disagree whether in word or action whether love is the greatest out of those three things? How many would rather slide faith in there when nobody's looking? Yeah, that's pretty much the Corinthians' problem, too.
So then it's our annual meeting. Approving the budget, a change to the by-law…
