bring on the lovingoverthrow

I can't possibly fully reflect upon the significance of this passage right now, seeing as how we are packing and I'm trying to attend Ministry Days and GA, but . . . I preached my last sermon at the Palm Beaches yesterday.  It was actually the worst sermon I've preached in months.  I got the timing of the day all wrong and ran out of time.  But, no one seemed to notice.  It was a feel-good day.  The sanctuary was extremely festive due to the efforts of the wonderful DRE and her collaborators who brought in, at least, a dozen giant cranes.  When the children and choir sang, "Let there be peace on earth", members of the congregation waved the cranes!  Then to top it off, the Music Director sang the most beautiful song "For Good" which is from the musical "Wicked".  I'm still reeling and, of course, that is just the top layer!
