Sometimes preaching can be fun...

Oh, I wasn't laughing or anything, I was in fact very sick before, during and after preaching two sermons this past Sunday. The reason it was fun was a the wives who approached my wife telling her how they admired her from one of my illustrations. My wife had not actually heard she was doing some counseling (by the way some good came of it too) at the time. Ya-Ru was bewildered, but what was so funny was the guilt they felt for not realizing such a simple thing was an issue of respect. This is so often the case, we are often so sure of our rights or unaware of all the common courtesies that show respect. Jesus was such a wonderful positive example of this.
