well i just recently boasted to a friend that my sermons lately had been so good....easy to put together, delivered well and engaging for the congregation. good thing i stated those qualities out loud because it meant that all such luck was over. today's was crap. there i said it.
the slack sermon was only augmented by the electricty that decided to go hairwire today. we lost power to the church just about the time worship was starting. so in the hot dark we worshipped and managed pretty well, rearranging worship as we went. random craziness.

the text behind the blog title...
The Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim. Moses said to Joshua, "Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hands." So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill. As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset. So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword.
--Exodus 17:8-16
