I Just Love Preaching...

Getting ready to get back on a plane. I have completed the first week of this module for my doctoral classes. It was a great but long week. We all had to preach this week. There are 16 different styles of preaching in my class. I was fed everyday. I just love preaching. It does get very difficult to critique in class, because these are not novices, rather these are people who have been preaching for years. I know that the mistrust will soon, hopefully, dissipate. We are going to be together for 3 more years. I look forward to growing in my preaching. This has been a good week preaching wise. My pastor preached twice this week and tore the house down. Two major houses, Reid Temple AME and New Psalmist Baptist Church. I really enjoy hearing my pastor. Everytime that I hear him, my soul is fed. Pastor Maclin (www.atthesanctuary.org) is my mentor and example in ministry. I hope to one day be half the Pastor and Person that he is. Well, let me get packed. i am going home to preach Mother's Day at my church, then fly back on Monday Morning(eeeeaaarrrllyy) to go to class. The things I do. Congrats to the graduates, especially at my church (Shannon, Jason, Shacarol). Gods blessings upon your future. Hollah at you later, PG
