“I weathered even the worst sermons, pretty well. They had the great virtue of causing my mind to wander. Some of the best things I have ever thought of I have thought of during bad sermons.” Wendell Berry
PS This is not the case with my pastors. They are all good sermonizers. However, I observed a number of people over the years in full daydream mode while I preached. I consider it my gift to those who needed the thirty minutes a week out of their frenetic schedules to be able to stop and think. If I didn’t say it then: You’re welcome.

When a gifted teacher is teaching, it’s hard to disengage my brain, and that was always the case with your sermons, Barney. Thank you for the way you steward your gift. I have had guilty wanderings when others less gifted have taught. I receive that blessing of thirty minutes of peace. Haha!
