if tomorrow never comes

somehow i agreed to take on the monumental task of preaching after a week of finals...this is how it always goes for me- i agree when i am not overloaded, then i grieve when it is upon me...but this time is different...the text is classic christmas and it is packed with metaphors that can only lead us to humility...so if tomorrow never comes, know that the overshadowing of the spirit has found you, and named you favored one...birth the grace of christ to the world...say here am i....find yourself in the glory of being chosen...and know that with God, nothing is impossible...

i have a friend that says when we listen to others, their story becomes our story...well, in being found a favored one, God's story becomes our story...grace and peace to you all today in the name of our Lord....
