I also had someone tell me that they appreciated how I was able to apply the Gospel lesson to a situation they were living right now. It was very humbling for me, because I'd come to church that morning pre-critiquing my sermon as not very good...not appreciating, or perhaps even at heart believing, that my spoken words could be conveyances of God's truth and grace for someone listening to them. And yet they were, for these individuals.LutheranChikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685566332651377907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876613.post-75694379399684086032008-06-26T13:24:00.000+01:002008-06-26T13:24:00.000+01:00I love Henri Nouwen's writing and I am with you on...I love Henri Nouwen's writing and I am with you on words.
