unpredictable worshipper

I became a totally unpredictable worshipper this past weekend as I found myself "preaching" the message at all 4 of our services.

Some observations:
- talking at 4 services is a chore, I have a new appreciation for my pastor who does this each week
- following the LBW (Lutheran Book of Worship) feels so lifeless, especially when done back to back with our contemporary service which is filled with rhythm & motion & openness & risk takers
- we added several other unpredictable elements, such as communal communion, a powerful acapella solo performed on bended knee, a guided prayer meditation
- while stepping out of my comfort zone was extremely uncomfortable, it wasn't as painful as I imagined it would be

should you be on notice?

The hubby and I have been spending a large portion of our tv time (which really isn't that much) on Comedy Central. I find it's so much easier to learn about my government's screw-ups on the Daily Show. And I must admit that the Colbert Report is the show I hate to love.

The first time I saw the On Notice list, I just had to find out why Lutherans were listed.

Make your own on notice board.
