Sermon Prep

I have the opportunity to preach this weekend! I should be reading and praying, but instead I'm here typing in my blog... I'm a procrastinator. I have a love-hate relationship with this phase of sermon prep--I don't have a text or topic yet, which is good and bad... it's fun because I can choose whatever I want to preach on, but there's literally a cornucopia of possible topics floating around in my brain. (note: i threw in "cornucopia" to add a little panache to this blog) (note: I threw in "panache" for the same reason) (note: i'm aware of my misuse of the term "literally", since there is not a "goat's horn overflowing with fruit, flowers, and grain, signifying prosperity" in my head [at least I hope not]) I hate it when people misuse the word "literally." I had a friend who said, speaking of his large and bulky car, "it's literally a tank." That literally made me puke (speaking figuratively). Speaking of which, what's with the parking situation at Arborland Mall? What were they thinking?
