Yikes Jen.... I bet the giver of the sermon intended for you to be inspired, not compelled to hide in your room for fear of failing. Perhaps there was another part of the sermon you missed?

Yikes is a good word, isn't it? Not used nearly enough.

No, he always picks us back up after we get knocked down, but he happens to have hit on something I've been thinking about lately, so... he is very encouraging in all sense of the word and I have never in the six months we've been there left church with anything but a feeling of - well, it's like the song. "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me." You know, amazed at the grace and ashamed of my past life and determined to be better, all at the same time. Our pastor has a real gift and I'm so thankful to be there.
