how affirming to read that there is someone else who is ‘like me’! every week I try to ‘do it differently’ but the process works out the same…. and I have learnt not to mind – for me it is time well spent even I only end up ‘preaching’ for myself …..through the process I learn and grow…thanks for sharing this . Only found you because I was looking for the ‘Janet’Quote re blessiing … good old Henri… love his writings

I hear what you are saying about leaving the house– I’ve done that too. But the point of this blog truly was how I see the housework, baking, etc as a PART of the sermon process– not just a distraction. Thanks for reading.

Have you considered writing sermons elsewhere? I could never write at home: I’d have dishes to clean, clothes to fold, and counters to wipe. It would drive me nuts. Also, being out of the house forces you to only take a few commentaries (the fewer the commentaries, the less “chatter” that happens in the though process). I’d be interested to get your thoughts on this…

Have you seen my blogpost on “oiling the bike chain”? It immediately came to mind. At least you DO end up with a clean bike chain!
