Since I have only been a church-going adult for about 6-7 years now, I will stipulate immediately that I cannot make a statement about the All-Time history of church sermons. I will add that as a church-going boy, for the first 15 years of my life, I recall very little about church sermons. I was usually more preoccupied with filling my time of forced captivity doing things that seemed (at the time) more important. I do remember drawing lots of stick-figure army men battle scenes on the back of “Prayer Requests” forms, and having to go to the bathroom a lot, just to get out of the pew. Therefore, with that disclaimer, I want to do my own sermon about a Gospel topic that my personal experience has repeatedly seen as avoided by priests, like the plague.
