choose-your-own-adventure

thats the style i used for my sermon on sunday. i mixed elements of spontaneous sermon with those adventure books most of you know from childhood. i created a powerpoint presentation with a story. instead of the paper kind where you turn to the page of your choice, i added link-buttons. it turned oout being more trouble than it was worth, i think. but a few others who, like me, have trouble listening to a long sermon found it helpful to have the creative touch and the story breaking up the sermon. i think i need to figure out a way to make it flow better if i ever use this style again (and it was too much trouble, so thats unlikely). in the story we were looking out for attributes of God that appear in Psalm 103. i am learning that one by heart right now, and challenged the church to do the same. i feel like there is just so much included in that psalm. i linked the psalm to alot of other parallel verses, so that the deep thinkers could have some fun (but i spared the church my beloved greek and hebrew definitions). i do have those parallel verses in englisch, if anyone wants to look into psalm 103, i can email the document (not the whole powerpoint though, its in german- but will be available online soon).


after church we played soccer... and i was our teams most valuable player.. crazy, i hadnt played any sport in over two years due to my back. its holding up nicely, and i am enjoying movement!
