For some reason, last night’s divine service just clicked. I did spend more time yesterday afternoon organizing my thoughts, studying me sermon, and reading through the service with a “fine tooth comb” to get my verbal transitions worked out better. But last night, the service just clicked. Oh, I am not saying that our weekend services don’t click — it’s just that last night, every portion of the liturgy worked well.

Something about receiving God in Word and Sacrament … I guess it just works every time it’s tried.
