An early start to hurry up and wait!

Well, it's been another one of those days and it's still 10:30 a.m.  After a night of very little sleep and minor illness, I just decided to get up early and get some things done.  Ahead of schedule is what I was thinking, but avast my plans have gone awry already.

Once arriving at the office, I noticed that none of our equipment was working.  Printers wouldn't print, copiers wouldn't copy, server had a blue screen of death.........had a what?  Yes a blue screen of death.  For a couple of days the staff has been working hard around here to take care of normal responsibilities, but to also prepare for our PowerHOUSE Youth Conference at Camp Hickory Hills, and guess what they need?   Right, ALL OF THE ABOVE.

So, since early this morning, I have been troubleshooting equipment which means none of the advantage of an early start was realized, there is no help in sight and I feel a little stuck.  If not for police reports, SWAT teams, broken dreams and glass all over the floor, I would draw my .45 semi-automatic pistol from my (nevermind you don't need to know where I carry it) and kill this demon of modern technology.  OH WAIT!!! Something must have gotten through to this hard-headed piece of plastic, wires and other stuff I can't identify...the blue screen of death is gone and the server is trying to make peace with me.

Don't worry, I won't give in, this is probably the RISE OF THE MACHINES! I better hurry before SKYNET goes online.

Quick, find Sarah Conner.

Hebrews 11 has become known as the "Hall of Faith." The reason is quite simple. The writer spends a great deal of time giving a role call of the heroes of the faith. After all, this chapter is about faith, and what better way to teach faith than to illustrate with some real-life examples. Mos of the people in this chapter are well-known, at least by anyone who spent time squirming in a Sunday School class as a small child, or who watched the late-night movies on the local channels featuring their stories. Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He...
