    Sermon at Church

    Today at church, we had a non regular Pastor doing the sermon. One of his props was a backpack (caught my attention!). As the sermon went along he pulls out a water filter. Explains how it works, and how we need to filter things in our life.
    Then he says he's a hammock guy, and he and his wife hang and hike.

    So, after church, I invited him to the MI Hang! Says he will try to check it out. He had not heard of Hammock Forums.

    I set him straight!

    Not your average sermon!

    (on a bad note...he did not know what hammock he owned?) oh well

    Passing on the good news, are you. Way to go!

    Maybe I should pass this on to my pastor.

    A friend where I used to work organized overnight hikes for his church about every month or so. He said there would be a short discussion about God how being in solitude helps connect. Sounds like your visiting pastor might be amicable to this idea. Being so close, I'd even drive over.

    I dunno Gargoyle about pastors who use hammocks. Galations 3:13 dontcha know
    for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who hangs from a tree"
    That's the Hilleberg translation, I think.

    If I would've known the sermon was about hammocks, I would have brought mine and set up on stage...sermons and naps go together!
