The Sermon about Nothing

Today I gave a "sermon about nothing" to my preaching class and was blown away by the positive feedback I received. I was so anxious, partly because I did it without notes and partly because it truly was about nothing. Somehow I pulled it out and what I thought was a cop out, everyone else experienced as a very authentic, profound message. What do I know?

I think the temperature got above 5 today. It's been -2 every morning for days with wind chills in the -20's. When I complained that we haven't had much snow, I was not asking for more cold! We did get a couple of inches of snow today which was nice. More snow. Less cold, please.

For those of you who have access to it, I am part of a story on seminarian debt in the Episcopallife newspaper. They even have a picture of me. I'm semi-famous. When they put it up online I'll post the link.

I leave Thursday for VA. It's supposed to be in the low 40's there. It will feel like a heat wave!
