Rough Sunday
Rough day at church today. I run the sound board, and let me put it this way, it ran me today. Problem is during the week the musicians and singers fiddle with the levels on the mixing board when practicing. Come Sunday now I have to be fighting hums, feedback, floor monitor level problems etc. I don’t think many of them realize how hard I actually work every Sunday so they can sound good. Its basically like staging a live concert with over 30 channels to juggle in three hours every week. It leaves you mentally drained ! You see this Christianity thing is all about spreading God’s Word (before him come back an wipe de slate clean as promised), but there are those who do that directly and upfront and there are others like me that work behind the scenes to make sure the upfront ting can run smooth and seamless. Is a wholeap a work (and money) go into putting on de church ting every week, if only you sitting in the congregation knew!
Which brings me to another tangent; This other behind the scenes guy, David Roberts, that mainly works the video and slide set ups, and is up early working hard to make sure everything is right on Sunday morning was finally sitting in the audience listening to the Preacher preach in the second row as all he had to do was done. Poor David start to dose off, him tired. De Pastor/Preacher notice and while preaching suddenly bawl out loud loud ….."and DAVID ROBERTS THERE WILL BE NO SLEEPING IN HERE!! That’s right if you doze off I will scream out your name!". David just wake up and neva feel no way, but him wife did well vex at de preacher! If it was me mi woulda cuss him. Wake me up and embarrass me! Me woulda sey "A whadi R*SS do yu bwoy!! yu tink a school dis!!". He over stepped his boundary. David and I have been in church for many, many years now and there is no sermon that anybody can preach that we haven’t heard already in some other shape or form. We work tirelessly every Sunday to make sure The Gospel get presented without a hitch, I guess after a while people begin to just take you for granted.

It happens all the time...people taking you for granted that is.
It's good to know that even though you're not out front with all the glory seekers you're there doing your thing regardless every sunday!
God bless you! Stay cool! *smile*
~Smooches~
Bwoy, de pastor really bright and feisty! I would have no qualms about putting fellow man in him place! Sometimes you see things happening, just let it be, don't call attention to it...cause you really don't know a brother's story!
Just dropping by. Cool blog.
Yute should mess up the slides the next week. Does he know photoshop? Photoshop up a few slides with the pastor out on the town with hookers and put them in with the overall picture/video presentation, and then when those come up during the church service, bawl out "Pastor there will be none of that stuff!" or whatever else he thinks is appropriate.
Mad Bull, good idea! I will pass it on to him!
