Thank you Page for sharing this. I’m always preaching to myself… glad others find comfort in these words.

I’m a little late listening to this one, but it landed when it was supposed to in my life - thank you! In the audio, you said a benediction that’s not in the transcript. It was profound & Id love to add it to my daily practice. Will you share it?

Isn't it lovely?

Just a very beautiful sermon!

I don’t know how you can do all this and write a book too! You do bring joy!

Thank you Gayle! I love that text and have preached it before, so thankfully I was not starting from scratch. I say that not to discount the work involved in all this writing I'm doing, but to help people peek behind the curtain a bit :-)

Absolutely loved your brilliant take on joy as letting go…and the moving up of Joy Sunday in the Advent schedule because we so need it now!
