This morning started at 5:30AM.
I was in the office a little before 6:30AM and had some great prayer time and final study-time before services started today.
It was about 7:30AM that I decided to “try” and get our church’s antenna to bring in the ABC channel we would need to broadcast tonight’s Super Bowl.
I tried and the antenna failed to bring in ABC. Not a good thing when you’re planning on 50-75 people coming to the church to watch the BIG GAME and fellowship together. Not a good thing at all.
This started the pre-game jitters to say the least.
Failed attempt after failed attempt to come up with a solution. Myself and two of our church guys and even my Father-in-law who was visiting today settled on “Plan X”.
1,000 feet of coax cable, a booster-box, a splitter, 4 new cable connectors, and a splice later we had ABC in the gym. (Thank you Gene and Dora Jane for the use of your cable television 1,000 feet away!)
What seemed like a hopeless situation and a Super Bowl celebration that “just might not happen” became the best Super Bowl party I’ve seen in the last 4-years of being on staff here at Warsaw Wesleyan. 103 people, all the Mt. Dew I could drink, the game on a 10′ x 14′ screen, the Steelers winning, and the adventure of the day’s events made today a VERY memorable day.
Oh – I almost forgot – the Lord absolutely blessed this morning’s two services with His annointing. I spoke on “The Words In Our Lives” and God moved hearts in both services! What an honor to break the Bread of Life with my Warsaw Wesleyan family this morning. Sermon PowerPoint slides and mp3 will be forthcoming. (I need some sleep – BADLY!)
