I've mentioned in the past that my wife is a former church pastor, with a theological degree from the oldest seminary in the United States.

So when our pastor decided to get away for the weekend, he asked my wife to fill in as guest-preacher.

And, as luck would have it, she developed a cough that turned into full-blown bronchitis and on Friday was put on bed-rest by the doctor. That meant no preaching for her.

A quick call to our associate pastor resulted in the suggestion that I fill-in for her in the pulpit, since I have four years of seminary education myself.

That's why Friday was a slow posting day -- I was writing a sermon, something I haven't done since my wife had her own church and I filled in for her when she had laryngitis. Its been over ten years.

And so this morning was the big day -- with my darling wife listening in via cell phone (she has never heard me preach before).

By all accounts, it went well.

If you are interested, I've posted the text below. I departed from it a little bit, but not significantly. Sorry -- no podcast.
