Another Interruption

As I stepped up to preach yesterday morning (yes, I’ll post the sermon on 

later today), he heard a noise.  Someone’s PDA alarm started playing the Transformers theme.  I looked around and realized it was mine – coming from my coat pocket.

I never carry my PDA with me on Sundays.  I figured I should start so I could write myself reminders about things people tell me during the service.  At least now I’ll remember to silence the reminders.

    Take the lyrics from Metallica’s Enter Sandman and sing them to the tune of Crosby,1 Stills & Nash’s Teach Your Children. It works, I promise! We would sometimes sing Enter Sandman as part of our pre- or post-campfire music set at Crater. Whenever I hear Teach Your Children, I can’t help but think of Philmont….

    One down, one to go. I feel pretty good about the OTI test. I was a little surprised about one of the short answer questions. I guess he wanted to keep us honest about reading the material listed in the syllabus. I know I read it, but I read three or four other articles that…

    Our anniversary is in two weeks. Any ideas on what we could do or where we could go? It has to be pretty cheap since our budget is tight until September. Feel free to share your ideas in the comment section. It’s a gamble, but I’m pretty sure Christy won’t see the discussion. If you…

    What a weekend! So much to write, so little time. The Emmanuel retreat was Friday night. After it ended Saturday morning, we drove over to Gatlinburg, stayed in a hotel overnight, and then went to the Knoxville Zoo today. We packed a lot in – especially for the kids – but it was a memorable…

  • Preaching Hezekiah

    When I did my research for my OTI paper, I was amazed at how much extra-biblical evidence exists surrounding the biblical account of Sennacherib’s siege of Jerusalem. In all of the sermons I’ve sat through, and all of the Sunday school lessons I’ve endured, I don’t even remember hearing about Hezekiah, let alone the siege….

    1. Yeah, and what makes it even more ironic is that I was going to put something in the bulletin asking people to make sure their cell phones and pagers were on ‘silent.’ Guess I should have followed my own advice.

    1. Yeah. It’s pretty sweet.

      Unfortunately, it doesn’t serve as a very good alarm. It’s set in a really low key, so unless I have it turned up to the max setting, I usually don’t hear it. Of course, that saved me this time.

      The alarm that works best at getting my attention is the Flintstones alarm. Of course, it also scares the living daylights out of me because it starts off so high and loud. I like my PDA to yell at me…just not scare me to death in the process.
