SERMONIC SELECTIONS

The ability to make a sermon out of anything is a great gift. That unique ability implies the power of sight, feel, taste, hearing, scent, intuited from mystical realms of analogy, with each connected to the whole. A member of a church that I then pastored told me that I had that ability one Sunday years ago. I thanked him for complimenting me, even though his meaning was not clear to me, before this very day. Some preachers buy sermons, or lift them from others, or read them from various specially prescribed pastoralist texts or lectionaries. Not me, praise be to God! I can look out of the window and see one, or obtain them from history, current events, sports, meals, movies, etc.
