Not ONE MORE DAY

The sermon at Common Grounds tonight was on DVD rather than live. The speaker was a young man who was sitting in an empty airport, speaking to us as if we were having a conversation. His theme was forgiveness versus revenge. It was a good message.

He led us into the idea that forgiveness was really about us -- freeing ourselves from the baggage that we carry around. Toward the end of his talk, he held open his hands, and said, with real determination, "I will not carry this burden around ONE - MORE - DAY."

It was a good message until the very end, when I want to turn around and throw a candle at Mace. I refrained. It didn't seem particularly forgiving to throw glass objects at our Technology Director for showing a sermon that scared me half to death at the end.

Think Jetta commercial.
