Great Preachers

I preached yesterday at the 8 & 10 am services (normally I only preach at ¡alive@5! in the evening). I got my usual "Nice sermon." comments but while one parishioner was talking to me about my sermon, our rector Fr. Vance, said to that person that he thought I was a very good preacher. That was nice. But it reminded me of that old ministerial proverb: "You're never as good as they say you are, and never as bad."
