The last temptation of the webmaster…
So, as many of the (three) of you who read my blog know, I work on the church website. Well, as Spider-Man’s uncle said, “With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility”, and even I am occasionally tempted while working on it.
You see, two weeks ago our pastor was on vacation, and so the associate pastors were preaching in his place. The morning service was titled “Baffled by Bozo’s Bullseye”, and Pastor Robb preached most of the sermon with a bullseye around his neck for the sermon illustration.
Now, I was working sound this morning, and so I leaned over to the guy in charge of sound, Dave, and whispered, “I’d kill for a laser pointer right now.” He perked up, went back, and began shuffling through the sound box. As it turns out, we had one for the projector, only it had no batteries. We riffled through everything we had as quietly as possible, and came up with only one AA battery (the pointer required 2). Defeated, we resigned ourselves to not pegging Pastor Robb in the chest with a little red dot for giggles (Sound men, after all, while tech heads, have to maintain an air of immaturity at times to stay sane.)
So, as I’m updating the website with the sermons, I’m tempted to put a clickable asterix up at the end of the sermon title “Baffled by Bozo’s Bullseye”, that links to a popup that says “Also known as ‘Why the Sound Men should ALWAYS carry AA batteries’”.
Man… I hate being responsible sometimes… :-p
