Writing a sermon takes time. \u00a0It’s like a brewing of beer.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

After a day spent thinking about “what I’m going to say Sunday” I realized \u00a0that my mentor is right. A sermon is really like a beer.\u00a0Thoughts need to settle down. There is no need to hurry, of course, if we have time and tomorrow is not Sunday.\u00a0A trip to the capital of Michigan helped me clear my mind and set the theme of my sermon. It’s true that during our driving there we were talking more about American\u00a0intelligence agencies and their purposes than about free will, the topic of my sermon; but I was also thinking about the sermon,and that’s what counts.<\/p>\n

After the trip to the University of Michigan, I had the opportunity to see its biggest rival, Michigan State, which is another great University with the number of students that can be compared to the population of my hometown. From their own fire department to their own dairy farm, students can get everything to survive their studies.<\/p>\n
