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

oil in our lamps


Faithful endurance and spiritual reserves
are fuel we build up 

through practice and perseverance. 

Though they’re not commodities that we can 
sell, trade, and loan to others in a pinch, 

we can (and should) demonstrate them 
as encouragement 
while otherwise sharing freely our 
hope-full instructions, 
patience-filled preparedness, and 
discernment-based disciplines. 

[ref: Matt 25:1-13 / Gospel reading for Proper 27, Year A]
