So, it has been awhile since I have blogged, my greatest apologies. I have found that I go through rhythms of thought, and sometimes there is just nothing there, so instead of boring you with another youtube video that is worthless, I have been silent. Well, this last week has been one of thought, and I don't really think that i can full put it into words, but I preached my first sermon yesterday.

It was an interesting experience. It wasn't the first time that i have spoken, but it was the first time that I have spoken on a sunday morning. There are lots of things that I felt, mostly the feeling of wanting to puke. Which I didn't, luckily, mainly cause I hadn't eaten for the past 12 hours. 

If you have been following the blog for any time, you know that I am pursing being a pastor. So the first sermon is a very telling thing. I have been reading all sorts of things that last few months on what it looks like to be a pastor, Peterson being a big influence, and it is interesting how I think that I somewhat started to romanticize the whole process. Honestly, it was the most humbling experience I have had. 

God's word is powerful, and to speak it is an intimidating thing. Yet, He is good. I truly felt like He was moving. I am sure that there is more to be said, but the words are just not there right know… 

The talk should surface on our Church podcast, in the next few days. On iTunes it is under Mountain Life Church Sermons.
