Soporific Sermon Offered by Doug Blair, Kitchener ON, 2022
Oh Pastor must have poured the concentration into that one. Bits of scripture from all over the place. Fast pace, lacking smiles or relaxation. But why did I find my attention waning? And many others around me in the pews. Third instalment in this particular teaching series. Only half connecting to what I am going through these days. Lots of uncertainty, loneliness and pain. I find that his approachable zeal is not the same as perhaps 18 months ago. Tired? Discouraged with the pull from so many demands? Yep he does appear constrained to attend everything going on. And much of it would be more appropriate down at the YMCA or the University. My Dad used to tell me about the thrilling spontaneity in the old church in his Native City. Prayer comments passing around the room. A testimony 1n
me.
