Well, well, well.
What a week!
Those of you who are exceedingly bright and regular readers will remember that I told you of the crash of the hard drive of our main on-air computer at the Christian radio station at which I work.
After that, there were 4,400+ audio and place-hold files that needed to be rebuilt.
I finally got that job completed Tuesday at about 9:00 am. Tuesday at 10:00 am, a dump truck got tangled up in the guy wires of a power pole and, instead of stopping or backing up or whatever would have remdied the situation, he kept on truckin' and snapped the pole.
3,500 people were without power for six hours, including the radio station.
During that time, the battery back-ups (called UPSes, but which I call DHLs - sort of a poor radio announcer's joke-or a radio announcer's poor joke, I don't know which) failed and all of the computers quit. While quited, they also mixed up data and dropped some.
So I have been busily trying to rebuild almost the whole thing all over again.
That's radio! Two 16 hour days in a row! And two more to go this week.
Someday its actually going to be as fun as it should!
If I survive, I will be back to regularly blogging.
If I don't survive, I'll see you over there.

A place where I tell you what I think and you can tell me what you think about what I think (but not what you think about what my other readers think)...I think. I write about things of faith and other subjects of interest to me. I hope you like them, too. (By the way, your comments are welcome - see the side bar.)

Saturday Lessons
The Saturday lessons are Bible Studies that are useful in a Sunday School or Bible Study class. They often contain questions without answers to stimulate the reader's thoughts about a particular Scripture. Feel free to use any or all of the Saturday lesson.
Spiritual Truths You Need to Know
1. The Bible is God's revelation of His character, His love for
His creation and His plan for its redemption. It's not about you, it's all about Him.
His creation and His plan for its redemption. It's not about you, it's all about Him.
2. Everything you need to know about God is found in the
Word of God; nothing you need to know about God is not found in the Word of God and anything you THINK you know about God that's not in the Word of God you just made up.
3. The Father is not the Son and He is not the Spirit, but He is God.
Jesus is not the Father and He is not the Spirit, but He is God.
The Spirit is not the Father and He is not the Son, but He is God.
4. The concept of the Trinity cannot be explained by the mortal minds of man, but it is absolutely Biblical.
5. All proper understanding of Scripture must begin with the absolute sovereignty of God.
6. To properly interpret ANY Scripture, it must be liberally bathed in John 3:16, the pivotal verse of the whole Bible.
7. God is omnipotent; omnipresent and omniscient.
8. Whenever we disagree with some aspect of the character of God (such as His fairness or His justice), it is we who are wrong and must adjust our thinking; for God is always right.
9. Books are great, but they represent the authors’ opinions and conclusions and must never take the place of Scripture as our test.
10. How to know Christ: Admit that you’re a sinner (Romans 3:23); Believe that Jesus is God’s Son (Romans 10:9); Commit to follow Christ and make Him your Lord and Master.

I'm thinking the proper sobriquet would be "a poor radio announcer's poor joke". Not implying you're poor, as in a "bad" radio announcer. In fact, I'm not implying you're economically disadvantaged, either. Nor is the joke all that bad--I can't really tell, 'cause I ain't got a clue what DHL means.
Forget I said anything...
Wow. I'm not 100% sure what all that means, except that you are working hard, long hours.
I miss your blog posts... Thanks for commenting on mine. You are a good brother. Peace.
Glad to see your post. I noticed that you hadn't posted in a few days and I was beginning to think you might be sick or something...glad it isn't that. Have missed reading your blog these last few days!
Jeff: Both DHL and UPS are delivery services.
Danny: That's alright. I'm never 100% sure what all that means.
I'll try to get back on schedule someday real soon.
Yipes! I even have to enter the secret word to comment on my own blog...what kinda deal is that?
I think you'll survive, jsut don't go insane. Much.
Hey careful on us truck drivers. Sometimes you just gotta keep rollin or you loose time:-)
Joe,
We just ended our busiest month ever at my work. And starting Monday our equipment started falling apart. Luckily, we've been able to make it out every day on time, but wore slap out. That's how we say it in Tennessee.
The hard work and the long hours will all be worth it, Joe. Plus, "it won't be long, til we'll be leaving." Remember that song? This time here is so short compared to what we have ahead of us. GLORY! Can you amen that, brother?
Glad you made it through, and glad you'll be there with me.
sounds like you had fun!! haha
I'm gettin tired just thinkin about those two sixteen hour days, I tried that last month, two back to back and I said, Never again!! I was so tired!
Nettie: Too late
bhedr: The fella who was best man at our wedding is a trucker. He's in the hospital right now.
Jeremy: Don't you just hate when that happens?
John: Lookin' forward to seeing you there!
live: I have to admit there have been times when I had more "fun."
OK, I knew DHL was a delivery service, but I still don't get the joke...
please add Jayleigh to your prayer list. stomach pain and possible surgery.
Hang in there!
Things happen. Once my dad cut through a 12 inch pressurized water main in a fairly large city. Golly that was a lot of water and mud!
Ahem, Jeff: UPS is a battery backup device for a computer. Not to be confused with USP, which also has to do with computers, but helps you go forward with connections, etc.
It wasn't that funny anyway...I guess. (Although I laughed a lot.)
