Last evening pastor Joe pulled me aside at the swim meet and said, "Your pastor Jim email account is no longer any good." No, he wasn't giving me the boot; there was some sort of glitch with the server that I don't understand. What I do understand is that there was going to be a lot of work ahead of me to let people know that my email has changed. I like my iPad and all it can do for me, but when it comes to the technical end of the internet, I come to my wit's end pretty quickly.
It couldn't have happened at a much worse time. I needed to send out a flurry of emails as a part of sponsoring a young man for the Koinonia weekend coming up, I'm getting ready for the Keryx prison ministry the following weekend, besides the regular email connections I have with people. How do I let that many people know of this change when I can't use my email account to tell them? Son Nate helped me with some of it, but it still took up most of my evening, which isn't how I had planned on spending it. On the other hand, this is a pretty minor irritation as irritations go. I'll go to a warm bed shortly, well fed and in safety. I have no fear of a knock on my door in the middle of the night that could result in my disappearance. Today was very productive; the ceiling trim, vanity cabinets are installed in the bathroom, the part needed for the tub faucet arrived enabling Linda to have her first tub bath in over a year, making her one very happy woman. Happy wife, happy life. To top it all off, it'll be some time before I get any spam email again. My email cloud has a very silver lining after all! BTW, my new email is james.douglas.bailey@gmail.com.
