This evening I found this interesting link

Preaching vs. Blogging

In my experience, they are loosely connected.  Sometimes I will use this to expand on ideas that I will be preaching the following week.  One of the ways that I use this blog is to help people get to know me better — that I am a real person.  It’s also been a great way to journal what is happening in my life.  From time to time, I go back and read the posts from earlier and love to remember what prompted that particular writing.  These are not things that I typically would share from the pulpit, but are important none the less.  In addition to blogging, I do make my sermons available to read or copy (I don’t know if anyone does or not.)  Occasionally, I will get comments there.  I may even end up moving my sermons here eventually — that’s how the lectionary stuff ended up here.  There were too many blogs to keep track of.  Anyway, sorry for the rambling.  God bless…Dale
