So, this week Pastor Fred seems to be returning to more traditional subject matter.  Of course, I expect his discussion to center around Matthew 16:18, “And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”  (I thought it interesting that the New American Standard version changes the line to “the gates of Hades will not overpower it.”)  But then I got to wondering, our past experience with Pastor Fred clearly places him outside the box of conventional thinking, so maybe he’s thinking of an actual rock, maybe something like Ayers Rock in Australia, or Devils Tower in Wyoming.  They would certainly fit into my description of divine.  Perhaps this week’s sermon will be a travel log of big rock sites.
But then it came to me – perhaps Pastor Fred is more in tune than I’ve given him credit for and what he’s actually saying is that it’s cool to be divine, you know, like “those divine folks over there, they really rock!”
