Can you beleive that its almost Christmas? I was reminded today that the season is upon us as I attended a photo shoot at our church for the staff Christmas card. For those of you that know me, you know that I hate pictures. So once again they had to drag me into this make shift studio, and had the audacity to ask me to smile, say cheese, merry Christmas as the camera snapped. I'd rather go to the dentist than have my picture taken.
This is one of those deals where the church gets a free directory made as each member comes to have a family protrait done. Each family also gets one free picture, but as you know there really isn't anything free in this world. The Photo company hopes that each family will bite the bullet and order a package of prints to give away as Christmas gifts or to display in their homes. (As I write this, guess what? Becky is in making a deal with these people. I wonder how much this will hurt my pocket book?) The members of the church that have been here the last four years will know that we have not had a directory done since the previous pastor, hmmm I wonder why? When they previously called to solicit our business it was a pleasure for me to say that I wasn't interested. But somehow this year it slipped past me and here I am suffering for Jesus getting my picture taken.
I guess that there is a silver lining around every cloud. I won't have to do this for another year. Thats 365 days and counting. Isn't it a Joy to Serve Others?
You're funny.
