Someday I'll get there. Yup, that business of not knowing what I'm going to say until I start typing sometimes happens to me, too. Thank goodness for the working of the Holy Spirit!mibi52/ The Rev.

The most important thing is for me to read the gospel over and get it in my head at least by Monday of the week I'm preaching (sometimes even earlier--only possible b/c I preach every other week). We have two midweek services and use the readings for the upcoming Sunday, so I have two chances to talk about it informally at these services. I get everything into my head and let it simmer there. And usually on Saturday morning I sit down and write til I'm done. For better or for worse I edit as I go. Sometimes I know what I'm going to write before I sit down, but often I don't know til I get going what I'm going to say. But somehow it works.Rev Dr Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11607665272056430039noreply@blogger.com
