Ten minutes before i was supposed to preach this message I hit "print" on my laptop and the printer jammed.

I walked to the printer and the screen said the printer was jammed in twelve different places. I could spend the next ten minutes praying for a noteless sermon or trying to unjam a printer that might print my notes. I chose the first and to this day never regretted it.

Although there were many things I wanted to say that I didn't remember, and other things that I said not as well as I'd have liked to, preaching noteless was liberating and worshipful. I felt like a child being carried in the palm of God's hand.

This sermon began a new way of preaching for me.
