A Minister's Monday

At the coffee shop today I ran into the minister who makes the local Starbucks his office.

I told him that I remembered that Monday was a day that many ministers take as their day off.

He laughed and said that he was not likely to take Monday off since he had preached and interacted with his congregation on Sunday and he used Monday as a day to put into action the information and connections that he had acquired on Sunday. He said that he was more likely to use Friday as his day off in the week.

He showed me that he was working on a sermon in May for Psalm 23. He is using some pretty cool computer software to integrate his references and quotes from literature that would support his theme. I told him that he should have a couple of hard drives for back up since the one sure thing in this world is that storage is always temporary and everyone will lose a hard drive.

He backs up to a cloud as well as his local backups. A lot of sermons need components that go with them as well. The software that fires those other components are setting on his Dell too. 

He has an Ipad 2. I mentioned to him that he should consider downloading the lesson software/ textbook generator that just came out from Apple. He said that he looks forward to the day that he could design and use his Ipad to do all of his work instead of his lap top. He should have to wait that long.
