Amazing how much of a procrastinator I am! I knew the basic outline of my sermon on Sunday (was impressed during my morning Bible Study, and then again in the evening Bible study)--yet I am writing it now. When is it? Less than an hour before Sabbath begins. Oh, forgive me Father, for putting You off so selfishly. No task should come before You. I am so grateful for Your everlasting mercy on me.

I suppose I should start off with the verse that this sermon was planted upon. It is Matthew 7:24-27.

"Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
"But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

Unfortunatly, I am not feeling well, and I am pretty exhausted. However wrong it may be, I can barely type right now and I feel I would be doing God a grave injustice with whatever dream-filled jibberish I place here. So, I found a sermon on the very verses I was going to be writing about. I'm so sorry, everyone. Lord, grant me forgiveness.

The time has come, O Lord - for us to leave this place; Guide us and protect us and lead us in thy Grace. Wherever life may take us as we go our separate ways, Help us share with others the things we've shared today.
May the peace of God, the Father, and the love of Christ, His Son, Guide us in the days ahead and strengthen us each one.
May the blessing of the spirit fill us from within; God bless us and return us to the fellowship once again.
Amen, Amen, Amen
