One night when I wasn’t there, my friends from Shorter sat down at a Waffle House and scribbled a list of “Clarkisms” on the back of a napkin. I have forgotten most of them since then but I’m sure “This stuff’s green, man” and “just hit it to the fat guy” were on the list. Many of my friends today have heard me say “If you can’t be good, be careful” and in response to “It’s good to see you” I always say “It’s good to be seen.”

I have been preaching at Unity for over 10 years and have been thinking about statements or sayings that my congregation might associate with me. I came up with these, let me know what you think I’m missing:

Deliberate and intentional

Knowing better does not always mean doing better.

God is near.

The Gospel is good news.

Read the Bible and pray.

Some can give, some will go, we all pray.

Missions is sometimes across the street and around the block, not just on the other side of the world.

Romans 8:28 is a lot like making biscuits.

God is in the manger.

Seasons change.
