Blogging and preaching

Ruth Whitehead has been blogging on her Sunday's coming! blog for over a year. It's a really great example of using blogging as a public way of reflecting on the process of reading the lectionary and preaching week by week. Maybe as part of the weekly round of preparing for worship you can also enter into conversation with Ruth through the comments section on her blog.
How do you go about the task of preaching each week if that's part of your ministry? Does it help to talk with others about the text? Is going for a walk, a drive or just sitting down at the desk the best way you can get the sermon to start in your mind?

A woman preaches the first sermon President Obama listens to

Don't know whether you have seen that a woman, Rev Dr Sharon Watkins, preached at the first service Obama attended as president. Watkins is general minister of the Disciples in the USA. You can read the text of the sermon here and listen to it here. She's the first woman to preach at an official inaugural event.

Thinking about women preaching reminded me of Susan Durber's book Preaching like a Woman. I enjoyed it a great deal and wondered whether some of you had read it as well.
What's it like for us to preach like a woman? A huge privilege and yet also sometimes a burden perhaps.
So who would you like to preach a sermon for? Anyone in particular you'd like to listen to you and what might your text be?
If there is anyone out there reading the blog maybe we can begin a discussion in the comments about how we go about preparing for preaching and worship. Go on dare to leave a comment and tell a friend about the blog as well!
