I had a dream last night. I dreamed I was leading Pouring out of Beakers, but I had lost the order of service. And I was supposed to be preaching, but I didn't have a sermon. And I didn't have the readings, but Burton Dasset was supposed to be reading. And he kept looking at me, asking what the reading was, but I couldn't remember. So I gave him the Little Book of Calm, but he asked me what page. And I didn't know.
I guess that's just me?
Welcome to my (dream) world (average 2–3 times a week) …
ReplyDeleteI reckon it's the Lord's way of saying that – since no matter how carefully I prepare, something will be bound to go wrong – it's better not to bother and just wing it.
It's been 15 years or so since I last led any liturgical worship. But I'm still having that dream!! I do occasionally have the teaching/workshop leading version as well now...
ReplyDelete7 years supposedly retired and I still get it.
ReplyDeleteDo you mean that it has never happened to you when you are awake? Perhaps that is just me, then.
