I'm more embarrassed than I can say. I returned from church, hit the wrong button, and erased this week's audio recording. Then, realizing that it is 4th Sunday, I went to King's Daughters' and Sons Home to deliver it again, and record it there.
When I looked out at those dear faces, I realized that my sermon, having to do with what people say online, in particular, OMG for "Oh My God" was going to be a closed book to a congregation of that age. In an attempt to make it accessible, I tried to speak "out of my pocket". When I did that, a passing hillbilly bug bit me and infected me with the worst sort of Appalachian accents. Forgive me! Maybe just read the text?

You Have 12 Followers
This Sunday, we have a little something extra. One of our number, ArLynn Toavs, is greatly gifted as a singer, and opened worship with "His Eye Is On The Sparrow", leaving me in tears as usual, and since we were so blessed by his music, I've included the bell choir as well.
The question posed by our sermon this week is "Why does this one story about this one man have such power 2,000 years later?" He wasn't all that much of a news item then. Indeed, his Facebook would only have shown "You have 12 followers."

The Restoration of Peter
Our ideas of justice center on punishment. God's way of justice is restoration. Why else would He have chosen Peter and Paul, a coward and a bully, to lead the new church?

Suicide Bombers
Our world is under attack! Anybody who watches the news knows that, but we'd like to suggest two things: Be very clear who the enemy is -- it may not be who you think; and the most valuable thing to ask ourselves is "What can we learn from ISIS"?
