Reason #1: “I’m weird…and I don’t want you to know it!”  Let’s face it, I know this guy Mark Spencer and he’s weird.  I live with him everyday…I even hear his thoughts…and WOW they are weird.  All kidding aside, when I talk with people they are really concerned about how others will see them.  Furthermore, they are intimately aware of all their personal quirks.  Reality is we are all unique and a little weird…but this Sunday I will talk about how we can move past our keen sense of weirdness to risk getting to know others.

Reason #2: “WOW…you are even weirder than me!”  Just when you think you are the strangest person on the planet you bump into someone who relieves you of that honor.  In light of “Reason #1” I imagine we’re all in for some jolts like that.  An incredibly important life-skill to possess is “meaning-making”.  It helps you navigate that look on someone’s face with skillful precision so you can rightly discern what is actually happening in their head.  Think about the potential world peace if we could just understand each other a little better!  The sermon this Sunday will offer you some tools to apply towards that end.  

Reason #3: “This just feels weird”.  When “Reason #1” meets “Reason #2” is there any reason why it shouldn’t feel weird?!  Here’s a simple fact: all real learning feels weird.  When we are on the adventure of discovery, it takes us to places where we haven’t been before.  But, by enlisting where we have been and what do know; we can learn well.  You guessed it…we’ll talk more Sunday.  

Hope you will give Sunday’s message a listen…it could help you get to know that other person even better.
