my sermon went pretty well. i felt my verbal delivery was better than last time, and definitely better than any of my practise run-throughs.
i was alarmed at how quickly it was finished. when i reached my last page i felt a wave of worry, but brendan said i went for a normal amount of time. i also worried that i read too much from the bible, but the way i see it, why should i paraphrase the bible when i can just read it and it speaks for itself. i weaved together the christmas story from the beginning of the bible to the end. it was the first week of advent so my topic was hope. i talked about how christmas is more than just a birthday, but it was the fulfillment of an ancient promise and the beginning of something significant. in looking closely at christmas and digging in it's purpose and significance i feel a new enthusiasm for christmas that i've never felt before. it SHOULD be posted on the next church website at some point, but it looks like last week's didn't get posted so perhaps this week's won't either. so if you're interested i can send you my written sermon to read. it's not very long.
we met up with my family at wendy's for lunch, then b and i went down to the KRC for a hockey game. i got free tickets from being on the united way committee. it was fun. they lost terribly. 7 to 1 and only scored their goal in the last 4 minutes. it's always amusing to see brendan really into sports. i spent the time knitting and got a lot done. i was pleased with that. unfortunately it meant i missed a lot of the crucial moments because i was looking down. i saw a number of my fellow committee members from work there too. i'm pretty sure they already thought i was weird but seeing me knit at a hockey game probably just confirmed their suspicions. i'm perfectly ok with that.
does anyone (who lives near by) have a glue gun we can borrow? we're making gifts this year with b's side of the family and we need a hot glue gun. going out to buy one would defeat the purpose of saving money by making gifts.

it would defeat the purpose yes, but glue guns are handy creatures and you can get one for less than $10, maybe even less than $5.
I have one you can borrow for a bit but it needs glue sticks. You can by a little bitty one at Michaels for 3 bucks....
