• Best advice given to me about preaching: "When I preach, I sink myself deep down. I regard neither the doctors nor magistrates, of whom are here in the church about forty; but I have an eye to the multitude of young people, children, and servants, of whom are more than two thousand. I preach to those, directing myself to them that have need thereof. Will not the rest hear me? ...an upright, godly, and true preacher should direct his preaching to the poor, simple sort of people... In such sort should also preachers carry themselves teaching and preaching plainly, that the simple and unlearned may conceive and comprehend and retain what they say." Martin Luther

• If I could Preach one more time, I would say...: I would preach from Luke 15 on the prodigal son.
• Something funny that happened while preaching: I had a fly fly into my mouth while I was preaching. I spit it into the planter next to the pulpit.
