Well our house has been hit finally with this whatever that is going around. First my wife has been sick all weekend and my older son was just starting to get sick as the weekend started. Now my younger son has joined the crew, throwing up this morning. I feel rundown and tired, and I have a little cough, but I have felt worse. I have been told I am not allowed to be sick, since everyone else got there first. We'll see if I am or not as the week goes on and I start to catch up on lost sleep.

My sermon on Sunday went well, I did not do anything especially multi-medie, except to have someone write peoples responses on the overhead machine (okay, on transparencies on the machine). There were no meltdowns, no explosions, so I guess all went well. I wanted to interact more with the people and the comments, but what I had to say seemed somewhat interesting based upon the reactions I was seeing as I spoke (maybe people just know how to nod as they think about whatever they want...). I am preparing to speak a combined sermon/communion talk for Easter (due to popular request). I am currently thinking around the passage of Jesus appearing to Mary Magdalen at the end of John, but we will see if that fits what the planners had in mind. Ideas for that passage, or other ideas are always welcome, it would also be great to hear others plan for Easter.
