keys and sermon

So. I have learned something very important. ALWAYS CHECK TO SEE IF YOU HAVE YOUR KEYS BEFORE LOCKING A DOOR!

For example. If you go to your office at 9:00 pm to print your sermon, and then leave. Do not be foolish and check to see if you have your keys after you have closed the locked door to your office. No! Check before. Otherwise you may end up spending an hour crying and trying to call your pastor and finally getting ahold of someone wh ocan do you no help, but stays up with you helping you call. And then, more than an hour into your ordeal you might finally get ahold of your pastor who gives you the phone number of the person who comes over and goes through a bunch of keys trying to find one to get into the office that has the key box that might have the key to your office. Because with your luck this would be the weekend that your officemate is in Boston of all places.

Just sayin'. It could happen. Just hope that you have, as I have, unlimited weekend minutes and a phone battery that can handle it.


Oh, but in good news, and I mean super-duper, "there is justice in the world" news... Amp'd is filing for bankruptcy and closing operations in the US. Ha!


The sermon went well. My godmother and her husband and my aunt and her kids+ came and we all went out to lunch after.
At one point I was walking up the aisle headed toward the back of the church (this is before the second service) and I see a guy and I stop. And I stare at him. And I say, "you don't belong here!" Which is a horrible story, until I tell you that he's a member at the other church I worked at this summer and I was confused. He had come to hear me preach because he missed it when I preached at St. Paul's. How cool. :)

And Dr. Turner came!! He was at the early service, and after he said that Mrs Bowen would have been proud, and that everytime he's around "[us] Nesvolds" he ends up crying. (Which is a good thing.) (I talked about Mrs. Bowen's funeral in my sermon.) I was so happy that he was there.

Reflections on the end of my summer job will come later in the week... when the job is actually over.

Until the next
