Answer: Strike while the iron is hot.
Computers
---------
The age of the computer brings much ease and expertise to the preparation
of the worship folders. Some churches which use the same basic format each
week can simply call up the form on the computer screen, make a few
necessary changes, and presto, it's done.
But it can be tricky.
In one church I know, they use the same format for funeral services. And
when a person dies and a funeral service is prepared, the secretary simply
uses the word-search-and-replace process and changes the name of the
deceased from the previous service to the name of the deceased who has just
passed away.
Very simple.
So when Edna died, the pastor instructed the secretary to prepare the
service for her by following the above mentioned process. The last person
who died was Mary. So the secretary instructed the computer to change all
"Marys" to Ednas." And so it was.
Image the surprise of the attendees when they recited the Apostles Creed
and read:
"He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Edna..."
Cell Phone
----------
Friends and I were chatting over dinner in a restaurant. A man at the next
table told his cell-phone caller to hold on. Then he stepped outside to
talk. When he returned, I said, "That was very thoughtful."
"I had no choice," he nodded and said to me. "You were making too much
noise."
