Super Bowl, Lost Luggage and a Slice of Nirvana
Here are some things on my mind from the last couple of days:
- Mark Beeson gave me a chance last night to address the New Community crowd at Granger. It was quite an honor to let the church know how much I’ve appreciated the opportunity to serve at Granger. It was a great 8+ years.
- I talked to Bombay, India twice today. Once with Capital One to process my address change and once with Delta to try to track down my luggage. This may not be politically correct, but I’d really prefer to talk to an American whose first language is English when I need help with an American product or service that I’ve purchased.
- Delta lost my luggage. Frustrating. The guy in India told me I’m probably going to have to file a claim for my lost bag. One of the items in my lost bag was the Bible I’ve been using for my journey through the Bible over the last year. Makes me sad to know I’m going to lose all those notes. Hope it lands in the hands of someone who needs it.
- The Morgan family is rooting for the Indianapolis Colts to win the Super Bowl. We think Peyton Manning deserves a title.
- The NewSpring crew hooked me up with a new Dell Latitude D420. I’m loving it. The best feature is that it’s only three pounds. Very light. Remember when laptops used to be about as big as your desktop? That’s not all, Jared connected my Blackjack phone with the Exchange server, so now my phone is syncing my contacts, calendar and email automatically. My NewSpring peeps have me technology nirvana…and I like it.
Oh Tony, if only they had gotten you a MacBook… suh-wheat! Didn’t you mention that you got a MacBook at one point this year?
I knew there had to be a chink in the armor at New Spring. Jesus owns a mac!
Sorry about your Bible!
Was the new Mac you had GCC’s property?
How sticky is that about your lost luggage…any luck yet? has it been returned to you?
Mujibar was trying to get a job in India.
The Personnel Manager said, “Mujibar, you have passed all the tests except one. Unless you pass it, you cannot qualify for this job.”
Mujibar said, “I am ready.”
The manager said, “Make a sentence using the words Yellow, Pink and Green.”
Mujibar thought for a few minutes and said, “Mister manager, I am ready.”
The manager said, “Go ahead.”
Mujibar said, “The telephone goes green, green, and I pink it up, and say, ‘Yellow, this is Mujibar.’”
Mujibar now works as a technician at a call center for computer problems.
No doubt you have spoken with him. I have.
