I have to confess that preparing this sermon was totally agonizing. I stayed up until 3 o'clock this morning, changing things around, piles of books on my desk, and realized at about 3 a.m. that I had to give myself permission to fail. So if the message does not reach you, please listen closely to the lyrics of the hymns. (w/ Gospel lesson: Luke 24: 1 – 12).
