Note: Monday Morning Quarterback is a weekly post reviewing my day on Sunday, a rather busy day; a colleague of mine made it a regular part of his blog and I copied it (yorocko.com)
12:00am – 10 month old son and wife (went to the ER earlier in the day because 10 month old was having difficulty breathing) are transferred to Children’s Hospital for diagnosis.
2:30am – finally fall asleep while waiting for updates on wife and child.
6:00am – older son joins me in bed saying he misses mommy and younger brother.
7:00am – otay…I’m awake
7:45am – sandwiches I ordered yesterday are ready (ordered them for the T3 class I am teaching after worship today)
8:05am – finally pick up sandwiches…running behind today.
8:15am – set up older son with iPad and breakfast sandwich; he watches a show and eats while I add powerpoint to the worship computer (secretary was on vacation this week and this hadn’t gotten done yet)
8:30am – add video to powerpoint (yesterday pastor asked if there was an easy way to add a list of statements people had written the previous week to a powerpoint; inserted list into iMovie as rolling credits…done)
8:31am – check on older son…still eating and still watching.
8:40am – set up projector and speakers for T3 class (T3 stands for Tough Topics for Teens and we tackle difficult issues for teens. Last month was bullying. Today is Depression/Suicide. Maybe we’ll tackle sex next time…we’ll see.
9:00am – powerpoint for worship – set. T3 presentation – set. What to do now?
9:01am – check on son…he’s not in the room. Searching for him.
9:03am – still searching for son; first bit of panic sets in.
9:04am – I hear his voice…he sounds otay. Found him: he’s helping the Children’s Director set up Sunday School. Sigh of relief.
9:06am – voicemail from pastor saying that the worship computer was displaying an error
9:07am – find pastor…he restarted computer and everything is fine
10:00am – worship starts…video looks good (visit Facebook.com/npcdb to see video)
10:03am – pastor says something about using the youth room…he couldn’t have meant today because we have a class in there…he must mean next week
10:20am – notice that every youth in the youth section is looking down at a personal screen (some playing mine craft, one exploring instagram, can see what that one is doing)
11:10am – worship is over, passing the peace of Christ by saying, “Pizza Crust be with you.”
11:25am – pastor shows up to youth room for new member gathering…he did mean to use it today. Thankfully 9 youth are there for my T3 class, new member gathering is relocated (we didn’t have a staff meeting this week, but we could have solved this double booking ahead of time)
12:07pm – youth talks about giving big toe to another youth
12:08pm – comment that the big toe comment was blog worthy and introduce this blog to the youth
12:40pm – T3 class is done, invite youth to play games…I think it was a good introduction to depression and suicide, hope they did too
1:25pm – why aren’t the last two youth picked up yet?
1:30pm – final youth leave, pack up and watch Peyton Manning throw his first touchdown
2:30pm – finally make it to visit wife and son; son is doing much better; could be released tomorrow
3:00pm – Broncos are down two touchdowns…WHAT!
3:25pm – Broncos leading again…playing with 10 month old who looks happy to see me.
4:30pm – Broncos scored 38 straight points and win 45-21 after being down 21-7.
7:30pm – after an afternoon of hanging with the wife and littlest one, time to head home.
8:05pm – stop by Carl’s Jr (don’t care for their advertising, but their western burgers are delicious)
9:00pm – begin transferring Bronco game from Tivo to computer for later viewing.
9:30pm – while waiting for transfer and conversion, write up MMQB, so today MMQB is finished before the day is over…until next time…
