Yesterday, my pastor delivered a sermon based on A Christmas Story. I love the film partly because it’s based in Indiana and the school Ralphie goes to looks just like the elementary school I went to as a child.
I drew my notes for this session. I just had to! I had to get Fleck at the flagpole and the leg lamp in a sermon sketch note! Yes, I know Fleck had an aviator’s cap on and my sketch doesn’t. But I am pulling out my creative license for this violation.
I resonated with the sermon of what to do when you’re stuck. We all get stuck from time to time. This time of year, we can feel like we’re stuck in the same Christmas traditions that used to mean something but no one can remember the why. We can begin to think about regrets over the year and start to think about new year’s resolutions.
Regardless, if you are a person of faith, there is always a way to get unstuck! Romans 7:15-25 has it all set up for us. There is hope for the person who feels stuck… even to a frozen flag pole!
