Preaching Anonymity

So I was making dinner, just you know, minding my own business, when Kamryn said to me out the blue from the living room, when you told that story in your sermon, did you say one of your daughters or did you say Kamryn? Uh, well, why I responded. I kind of lied and said I think I may have said daughters. She thought about it and said, "I think they would figure it out that it was me." She seemed pretty distraught and so I asked, would you want me to use your name. "No," she cried out. "That would be embarrasing." Uh-oh. Well, I assured her I would never use her name again, and I probably shouldn't lie about sermon again. It kind of defeats the purpose of preaching in the first place.
