Sermon Notes
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
Reading
“I want to beg you, as much as I can, dear sir, to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given because you would not be able to live them. And, the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live, along some distant day, into the answer.” (Excerpt from Letters to a Young Poet, by Ranier Maria Rilke
These Are the Days of Our Lives
Reading
“My Lost Youth”, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Often I think of the beautiful town
That is seated by the sea;
Often in thought go up and down
The pleasant streets of that dear town,
And my youth comes back to me.
And a verse of Lapland song
is haunting my memory still:
"A boy's will is the wind's will,
And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.
Scripture
“It is not the old that are wise, nor the aged that understand what is right…it is the spirit in a mortal, the breath of the Almighty, that makes for understanding.” (Job 32:6-9)
Don’t Stop Me Now
Reading
“A Song Without End”, by Charles Bukowski
When Whitman wrote, "I sing the body electric"
I know what he meant
I know what he wanted:
To be completely alive every moment
in spite of the inevitable.
We can't cheat death but we can make it
work so hard that when it does take us
it will have known a victory just as perfect as ours.
Scripture
“Go, eat your bread with enjoyment, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has long ago approved what you do.” (Ecclesiastes 9:7)
Love of My Life
Reading
“I Am Confused”, by Nikki Giovanni
I am confused
I am in not so much fog
As gray cloud
I cannot read the landmarks
Let alone the danger signs
I do not know
Where I am
Or how I got here
I am lost
I want to find myself
In your arms
Scripture
“So you have pain now; but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.” (John 16:22)
