Why Gannet? Why Search the Sea?
- Gannet Girl
- Gannets are enormous and sleek creamy-white seabirds, with black wingtips, yellow heads and necks, and startlingly outlined eyes. They nest on the rocky cliffs of the European and North American coasts of the North Atlantic and, once grown, spend their days sailing across the ocean. The acrobatics by which they make their living ~ steep climbs into the air and speedy plunges straight into the sea ~ are rivaled only by those of pelicans. What better metaphor for a sweeping search of one's life choices and opportunities than a gannet extended above the waves, a regal and yet restless surveyor of the vast ocean surface? The gannet reminds us that life is an adventure in both beauty and profound unease, and that the sea itself is limitless in its textures and possibilities.

How about showing the photo on a vid screen behind you while you preach it?
LOLOL.
You know I am an unapologetic progressive in theology and an unrepentant traditonalist in worship!
does that sermon go into a dark place? light can't be appreciated quite as much as when it is missing. I think all this flame and electricity has weakened the power of seeing the Lord as the light.
sometimes venturing to uncomfortable places show us the light... bring on that vid screen!!!
I'm with PG and stratoz--use the screen.
I've come to appreciate what the appropriate and creative use of a screen can add to worship. Many people today respond much better to a visual presentation than to just an auditory one.
Just gorgeous. Did you photoshop this or is it "as is"?
Carol: I don't remember! I'll have to look when I get home.
I can't imagine you preaching in front of a vid screen. The picture is beautiful!
Beautiful! Knowing you in the little ways that I do, your sermon will be a light in the darkness.
many ways to express....this is beautiful...hope you post the sermon, too.
