What a Good Idea!

If you are Joan Rivers, the whole idea built around things that you hate is a great idea.  I Hate Everyone...Starting with Me is a book that no one but Joan Rivers could have written successfully.
There are some brilliant lines in here.  And I enjoyed every bit of this book. Especially now, after learning what I always suspected, that Joan was a truly loving woman, who gave so much to so many.
Next week I am hosting a comedy show.  Hosting isn't so bad.  I am not a very funny stand-up comic and while the host needs to be entertaining, the host should never overshadow the real comics.  I never need to worry about the overshadowing part, but standing up to do storytime makes me nervous and stand-up always makes me super nervous.
At first I was going to say that stand-up shouldn't make me more nervous than preaching because preaching is far more important...but you know...preaching makes me very nervous, but ultimately, hopefully, what I say is what God wants me to say that day.  I don't always say it well, but that is what I am doing.
Hmmm....now that I think about it...shouldn't I try, shouldn't we ALL strive to say what God wants us to say?  In stand-up, in storytime, in conversation?
