About 15 months ago, I gave a sermon at Unity Village Chapel which felt like it bombed - really badly! I felt so embarrassed by the fact that I couldnt seem to engage the audience, I would cringe every time I thought of it. I also never had the courage to watch the YouTube video to at least determine what it was that caused so many to switch off that day. What baffled me the most was that this sermon came through me as I woke up out of sleep. Even though I didnt have a speaking engagement coming up, I remember getting up out of bed buzzing with creative energy as I captured the ideas, fully intending to tuck away the sermon for future use. Days later, Rev. Erin called and asked me to step in at the last minute to cover for a speaker who had to postpone. Thereby convincing me that the Unity Villages spiritual community had called forth this message. Was I the only one who got *that* memo? :-) Well, either I must have built it up in my head to be so much worse than it was (we do that sometimes, dont we); or the passing of time has generously erased a lot of the discomfort around the experience, because I just watched the video and... its not as awful as I imagined it to be. In fact, its pretty good! Perhaps watching it back, with this much space in time, serves to show me how, inspired, nurtured, and nourished, by my recent trip to Bali, Ive committed through this ministry to become the river. Wow! What a difference a year (and four months) really does make! Enjoy! https://youtube/watch?v=Y99A7xWXAkk
