I realized today that I'm sick. I have a condition called WCS. That stands for 'Withheld Communication Syndrome' and it develops when a person has a pent up need to get things said, but cannot communicate, for any number of reasons. In the opening chapter of Luke, a man named Zechariah - who would become the father of John the Baptizer - had a divine case of laryngitis and couldn't talk for several months. I bet he also had a case of WCS!Anyway, because of Christmas, followed my a week of vacation, followed by all of the work that piled up and the scrambling to catch up, I have a TON of pent up things to say that has created this condition, and it is chronic.
Fortunately, WCS is treatable with a medicine called DTT. The scientific name for DTT is Dump the Truck. You have to take DTT once or twice every day for a while until the WCS subsides.
Unfortunately, side affects of DTT include headaches. However, and this is very interesting, the headaches occur NOT in the sufferers of the WCS, but in those who are around.
So, for the next few days, I will be taking DTT, which means that I'm going to be putting a good bit of stuff up on this blog so as to cure my WCS. And after that, I'll be back to a normal routine of blogging 4 or 5 times a week.
By the way, most of what I have to tell you is pretty exciting, some of it is somber, but all of it is important. So, keep your eyes open. Even later today, another post is coming.
I really enjoy reading the BLOG and everything you say is important and interesting. Much of what you say I can relate to. So go ahead and DTT.
ReplyDeleteDTT! DTT! DTT!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, it gives me more insight to the "person" rather than just the "preacher" here. Brian I contacted you on more than one occasion with some ideas on how to get more FUNDING for the church and even offered to chair one of them (VOLUNTEERING NO CHARGE) but I never got a single reply. As you may know my "position" or strength in the worldly sense is "social work" in a proactive way for all socio-economic groups including , well EVERYONE, my feeling is if we as Christians can SAVE MONEY it is like MAKING MONEY and when you SAVE n some areas of your life, you can invest more in others, AKA........ church building fund, salaries etc. Even though I have ZERO experience with million dollar + budgets, i bet I could come up with some things that could help EVERYONE learn to STRETCH the dollars they spend..........
ReplyDeleteOK and I have a really stupid question............ WOULDNT it help to cut out the tithes that end up in OTHER COMMUNITIES and REDIRECT them to OUR COMMUNITY? (in particular the CHURCH community?)
that is STILL TITHING just keeping it closer to our "home"
