Hello Everyone!
If this looks like the flipside of the album from a couple of weeks ago, it is, only different.
Remodeling
While the work is progressing slowly (did I mention that work is progressing s l o w l y?), I am reminded how thankful I am for the men who have sacrificed a few hours here and there to keep us moving in a forward direction. You may be wondering, “why is there such an urgency to getting the ‘nursery’ back in order?” I have at least 8 reasons from the Spanish congregation and 3 from the Korean congregation. And those are just the crib babies. I couldn’t stop those perpetual-motion toddlers long enough to count. These are wonderful problems to have, wouldn’t you say? We are counting our blessings!
Presentation Project
Tuesday morning, March 21, came after two very long nights and days putting the “final” touches on what would be shown to the Talbot student body about the journey to Israel. If I didn’t state that clearly enough, let me try again.
Did you know that there is an identical set of hours in a single day only it is dark, and quiet, and no one calls, or walks in, or “interrupts”? I didn’t think so. I wouldn’t want to work like that all the time because those “interruptions” make life interesting and they give me something to write about.
It didn’t help that Pastor Rigsby insisted on knowing what he was going to do ahead of time. I didn’t understand why, after all of these years, he wanted to be informed prior to the service, but I went along (thinking it was some kind of a joke or something). Sunday everything will be back to normal. I will tell him that there is an error in the bulletin and he is scheduled to sing! He’ll say “O.K.” and that will be that.
Where was I? After a (second) very long night, I got up early to meet with Pastor Rigsby to go over the presentation. I must be insane (and I know I was running on adrenalin). All joking aside, the presentations were well received. Whether good or bad, God will use all that was said, done, and shown, as always, for His glory.
But that’s not all, folks. I can’t close the box on the Presentation Project just yet. There is a second part to this assignment. It has a new title: “the DVD Project.” Although getting the DVD together won’t be as time consuming (unless I wait until the last minute, or if circumstances beyond my control hinder me).
When will the church benefit from this report and presentation about Israel? Mark your calendars! It will be after Resurrection Sunday and before Mothers’ Day. What? You were expecting an exact date now? This is what they call “the tease.” More later!
Major Omission
Not only is the bulletin wrong about who is singing special music tomorrow, it has a major omission (which I was able to correct before sending the iBulletin, but unfortunately the print edition was already finished). If I don’t make this right, I will be like his dog, Jackson—”under the shed and not knowing how to get out.” I forgot to include my youngest nephew’s birthday. Matthew was born on March 29. He is, with this birthday, officially a teenager. I have no doubt he will make it through to the other side of teendom. After all, Matthew values those who bestow upon him Pop-tarts, with or without sprinkles (excepting the whole wheat variety). Happy Birthday, Matthew!
If some morning you have insomnia and can’t sleep, call the church house. You might be surprised to learn that I am there. I will be surprised that the phone does ring at 3:00 AM. If I don’t answer, leave a message.
