welcome to multiple strands

a place to converse, virtually, on a variety of topics, bringing together multiple strands to encourage, question, challenge, ponder, and edify. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart. (Eccl. 4.12)

Setting expectations

"Expect me when you see me." 

A fun quote by Gandolf from The Lord of the Rings.  What a great way to set expectations!

John Chrysostom's final sermon

In all things, glory to God. Amen

John Chrysostom, one of the significant early church fathers who was given the sibroquet "golden tongue," spoke these few short words as his final sermon, delivered near death when his strength was failing him.

If i were a well-known speaker or preacher in that situation, what would I say?  I'd like to think I would say something much like Chrysostom!
