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

living with the dead

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us.” (Hebrews 12:1)

Imagining faces in that divine crowd 
as we read names of our faithful departed 
and celebrate the mystery and promise of Communion; 

honoring the past, 
hoping for the future, 
and gearing up for the present.
