I'm home, and done. But haven't, necessarily, done well or sufficiently to be certified.

One other participant forgot to bring their sermon and had to drive 30 miles there and back to get it.  Another clicked the wrong lectionary link and had to completely re-write theirs to the correct text at the last minute.

All moi did was wave a red flag at the non-Papal bull by giving an 18-minute-and-change message about the Three Stooges.

Everyone did the work, put in the time, and participated. I suspect, based on the instructor's multiple qualifications about what happens "if you pass,"  that at least one of us is being left behind, as they say at Rapture time. If it's me, it's on account of my subject matter, and if they don't want it, I don't see any particular need to give it to them.

Oh, and I broke the tape. Everyone else got at least audio recorded, but mine popped a Fatal Disk Error within five minutes of me beginning. Maybe God isn't a Stooges fan, after all.  I did promise at least the text, though, which is based on this passage in the Gospel of Mark, and you can read my Stoogery about it at this Google Docs link.  (As with all such links, you may or may not be able to see the author's name on the display. If you can, please don't go splattering it about the Interwebs, plzkthnx.)

Stay tuned to see if I'll be coming soon to a parish near you.

Wow, that's sort of an impressive amount to go wrong for everyone!

I enjoyed it and found it thought-provoking, which IMO is what a sermon is supposed to be (not simply a force-feeding sufficient unto itself). You made your analogy and supported it quite well. Bravo, sir!

Thank you. I did get constructive crit on it, and would've shortened the intro and put more personal experience into the meat of the thing (me? screw things up or misunderstand? why I nevah!), but unless someone's got a St. Bug up their ass, it should be a plus on my file.
