Inside Today’s Experience’s

November 22, 2009 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • We’ll call today a tale of two Experiences.
  • The first one was terrible and the second one was much better.
  • Having only 50 minutes for the first one so we could get over to the communion service was just not enough time.
  • Between only doing one song and then having to do things in a different order, I was all out of sorts by the time the message started.
  • I was doing so much to try to rush through that I was all over the place.
  • I feel bad for Ben Meyers who had to try to follow along with me on slides…good job Ben for doing the best you could with a bad situation.
  • If you attended the first Experience, I again apologize and would encourage you to listen to the online version of the message so you get a better feel for what I intended.
  • Hooray for two Experiences…without the ability to go back and do it over again, I’d have beaten myself up all week.
  • The other thing that made today weird was I can barely lift my left arm…it even hurt to hold my bible like I normally do, so I just sat at the table the whole time to teach.
  • Getting old sucks!
  • On a better note, the communion service over in the sanctuary was great…it’s always nice to bring everyone together for something as meaningful as communion.
  • A few of you asked about where to find the historical context of some of the things I shared today.  I have a pretty intensive computer program that helps spit out a lot of it, but you may also want to consider, The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah and also the web-site www.followtherabbi.com.
  • Without any guys singing today, it reminded me of when I first arrived at United and we were strictly a chick band…ah the good old days.  :)
  • Had some friends in today from WV, MD  and WA (yep that is far away)…always nice to see peeps.
  • Time for a nap and then dinner.
