It was a long weekend in so many ways. I officiated a memorial service of a way cool guy hanging with Jesus as we speak. No more suffering. No more pain. Jimmy is indeed with the king of kings. I also officiated a wedding yesterday for a neat couple.
Right after the wedding, an older gentleman and I were talking and he said to me, “you know, preaching is like selling newspapers. You’re selling the same news every week hoping someone will buy it.”
Another person said to me, “you know, you’ve done a memorial service, a wedding, now all you need is a baptism. You’d have the whole spectrum of life.”
Smile. Smile. Smile.
