I'm not sure how people will get the message, but hope they'll agree it made sense. Wind still blowing, trees heavy with wet snow and other wintry mix ickiness, but we still have power at home.

I am 99% sure the whole thing is here in my head, but I just feel like I need to go through it outloud or on paper in an outline to make sure. I just keep getting distracted in the process.

For our family service (=50% kids under 7), I'm going to start out preaching from the iPad. The musician will interrupt to ask me about it, and then repeatedly ask me to do stuff for him (carrying some instruments and binders to the back of the church) while he has fun playing with it. Eventually I will ask the folks what's wrong with this picture...Jesus, in telling us to be servants, didn't mean for us to be either of those roles (doormat worker or one counting on others to serve), but all to serve each other. Etc. So the iPad is quite tangential.Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07399176212493797062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-13047835036651705002011-10-29T23:27:35.341-04:002011-10-29T23:27:35.341-04:00Don't worry, I'm still here too and I have...Don't worry, I'm still here too and I have managed to put off even writing the first sentence.
