A sermon is meant to be a proclamation of the truth of God as mediated through the preacher. People do not want to listen to a string of quotations of what other people have thought and said. They have come to listen to you; you are the man of God, you have been called to the ministry, you have been ordained; and they want to hear this great truth as it comes through you, through the whole of your being. They expect it to have passed through your thought, to be a part of your experience; they want this authentic personal note.

INSTRUCTIONS

Small herb wreaths like this one can go directly into the soup pot, or you
can hang one in the kitchen to be plucked from as needed. Present them in
plastic bags to hold their flavors and minimize their shattering.
Twist chive stalks into a 4- to 5-inch circle to form a base for the
wreath.  Twist in sprigs of thyme, parsley, oregano, and marjoram and basil
seed heads to fill out the wreath. Add a single short sprig of rosemary or
sage.  Let dry thoroughly; the wreath will shrink slightly. Thread three or
four dried chilis on sewing thread and tie around top of wreath. Cover
thread with a tie of kitchen twine or a narrow ribbon.
