Weather affects Ruth. She doesn't like rainy days. For some reason I have always been impervious to weather. Sun, rain, clear sky, cloudy-- bring it on. It doesn't matter to me.

This morning I highlighted both of tomorrow's sermon manuscripts. I use about ten different colors.

Green marks a Bible verse address. Yellow highlights Bible words. Purple denotes a quote. Orange means a significant pronoun or person. Dark blue points out the main thought in a paragraph. There's also dark red, light red, brown, black, and light blue. I often tell Ruth I don't have the best sermons, but do have the prettiest.

I find myself using larger and larger print all the time. Before long the choir will be able to read my manuscript.

This afternoon I scribbled out parts of next Sunday's sermon. My assistant types them into the computer for me. Tonight I will repeatedly read tomorrow's manuscripts. I probably read a sermon 15 or more times before I preach it. Great cure for insomnia. Just kidding. I hope.
