March 10, 2008--My camera.

My camera is not working properly. It's not focusing right. I thought it was the batteries, but it's not. I put in fresh batteries and now it's giving me a focus error that won't go away and won't let me take pictures anymore. I looked it up in the manual and the solution is to get it fixed. It's only a 2 Mega Pixel camera, though, and nowadays you can get 5 Mega Pixel cameras for less than $50. We're trying to decide if it counts as an emergency so we can take it out of the emergency fund.

In other news, the church board gave us the go-ahead to invite my family down to do Passover for our church, and they also gave me permission to start a choir. There are a lot of good singers in our church. Of course, there probably won't be very many people left to listen to us sing, but there will always be my husband. He's doing a good job, in my opinion, at preaching. I notice each service that he gets better than the last one, at least most of the time. Last night he forgot to highlight his main points in his sermon notes, so that tripped him up a bit. He's gotten a lot more relaxed, and his sermons are well researched. I can tell he's done a lot of work on them during the week. He still struggles with his transitions and putting enough volume into his speaking, but he's getting better. I haven't looked over his sermons lately at all before he preaches. I prefer to listen to them for the first time when he preaches.

I had always wondered what it would be like to have my husband preach, and wondered if I would get fed under him, or learn anything. After all, we talk about the Bible all the time, and generally what he knows about something we've already discussed and so I already know it too. I wondered if I would find his sermons boring because he wouldn't be presenting any information that was new to me. I am quite happy to find that my worries were unfounded. He's doing so much research during the week that when he preaches I am happy to be learning from him after all. I'm so proud of him. He always has done the best he can at no matter what it is doing, and he's always done it well.
