monday linkage and random insomniac musings

Good morning to one and all. It is 5:30am and I have been up since 4:00am. No, I have had no caffeine. Likely it is something else in my diet like sugar. Typically, diet is the reason I cannot sleep. But in the end, the reason only matters a little. I only care that I cannot sleep more than five hours at a shot. *whine* Trish and I are trying to get in a regular workout schedule. It is supposed to be a MWF morning thing. But this morning I went to wake her and she was so tired we agreed to try again tonight. This is a slippery slope to say the least. So, I guess I will nap and prepare something light and easy for dinner tonight. I also have to fix our bikes, practice my mandolin and go to my lesson. Maybe I should go back to sleep.

Okay, so here are some links for you...

Jane Ellen posted her sermon.
Ref+ posted his.
Micah spent some time preaching Elijah.
The Sacristan preached on diet and burgers.
Joel is also experimenting with liturgy. I love it when Baptists liturgize.
I am hoping AKMA will post his sermon today.
Here is a link to Dylan's helpful hints to yesterday's lectionary.
For the philosophical, Geoff is posting on Levinas.
Mike is going to review a new book.
Tim Youmans posted about the myriad reasons not to get ordained.
Amy went to church. It sounds like it has been a while.

I have been seeing the above cartoon online from time to time of late. It is interesting and just a little funny. I wonder if anyone has statistics on this movement from the charismatic to the liturgical in the US context. I ask because I think that there may be just as many people going the other way. But I would not know where to begin to look.

I linked to a couple of sermons above. My sermon went well enough yesterday. I must confess that I thought it could have been better, but the comments were extremely positive both after church and in the comment section of the blog. Thanks, Jorge. Heh. I'll leave the comment as it is...with the requisite PG-13 or R rating. Jorge, I thought of you yesterday...wore our hat. How you been? Fire off an e-mail if you get the chance.
