Sermon Poetry and Irish Proverbs. Heck yes!
Oct 1st
As I’ve been blogging this past year I’ve been writing two different (and fairly unique) types of posts.
First, I love Irish culture and as I’ve been trying to teach myself Gaeilge, I keep running across “Irish Proverbs” on different sites. These are just pithy sayings in the Irish language, but as I read them I thought “hey, I oughta flesh out the lessons in ‘em!”. So, I did, and thus fair I’ve written six “Irish Proverbs … Thought About and Applied”. More will be forthcoming.
Secondly, over the years I’ve tried taking notes during sermons, both handwriting and on the laptop, but I’ve never been able to consistently take good notes. I spent more time taking them than actually listening to the sermon. Then, a few months ago I was listening to a sermon out of Revelation by one of our pastors, Jarrett Downs, and I just up and wrote a poem in response to it, right then and right there! Oddly enough, I found that I was able to get more out of the sermon by taking my notes in poem form than I did without taking notes at all! So, I did it the next week and the next week and now its the only notes I take and I do it with every sermon. So, be on the lookout for those on this blog and on the new one dedicated to just that.
Oh ya, the links:
