sermons and notes posted on this blog are not necessarily what came out of my mouth during the services,
but they'll offer a sense my dance with the Holy Spirit while preparing to preach

feasting on faith and hope... charged with demonstrating charitable love

comforted remembering all Saints and saints, 
and celebrating their ever-presence in the cloud of witnesses that cheer us on... 

and challenged reminding ourselves that 
beyond the passive resistance of offering our other cheek, 
Jesus says that saintly behavior is 
actively loving our enemies, 
praying for and blessing those who seek to do us harm, 
and to taking the initiative to demonstrate prodigious compassion, charity, and mercy even when (especially when) others seem undeserving.
