A thought from Kierkegaard as I prepare my Sunday sermon...

So I have studied...did I DO anything today?

"A man is castrated in order to make him a singer who can take higher notes than any normal man can take: and so with these preachers: from a Christian point of view they are castrati, are deprived of their real manhood which is 'the existential' - but they can take notes higher and more fascinating than any true Christian." (Soren Kierkegaard - "The Disturbing Dane")
