Well, I must say that this has been a profitable use of today's nooning.

Rachel, you're supposed to be helping us up out of the ditch of inanity.

Would the teacher accept Pelet's photocopy? No sirreee, that teacher demanded that we put our IQ's to the grindstone and submit only hand written copies of the Scripture.

lol - Sounds tough.

No - I'm supposed to be working hard.

Have you ever copied a chapter of Scripture with a quill pen and a shared inkwell?

If you're not whittling a new nib on your pen, you're standing in line at the community inkstand.

Like I said.. It sounds tough. Thank goodness you are still walking around after that.

What I have found is if you can feed them you can lead them...

Man, I know exactly what you mean. The young people at our church are so into the preaching that they even went out and spent their own money to buy something that they call Ipods.

They wear them to church pretty much every service. They tell me that it helps them hear better and to be able to concentrate on the sermon. They must really love my preaching because they never come without their Ipods. Even some of their parents are beginning to get Ipods for listening to my sermons. It's great to have so many people that love my teaching.

I forgot to attribute the earlier leadership quote. It's from "Leadership Lessons You Can Actually Use" by Uncle Joe Maxwell (John's father's brother). Here's today's Leadership Tip.

"If you put the backhouse at the front of the church, you'll cut down on the running in and out during the preaching, but you'll need Christmas candles on the platform all year round."
