This week's theme is of great interest to me, a pastor. In my senior year of high school, our acapella choir sang a song with the message that: no man is an island, he is not isolated from the rest of mankind, he needs others and they need him. It is the same with the pastor and congregation. We need one another.
In his book, Who Said That, George Sweeting quotes Robert G. Lee, page 347:
Senator Robert S. Kerr of Oklahoma was a member of the First Baptist Church of Oklahoma City. He was a long-time Sunday school teacher and Christian philanthropist. He gave more than one million dollars to Baptist institutions in Oklahoma.
His pastor, Dr. H. H. Hobbs, in his tribute to his friend at the memorial service in the church quoted a prayer the senator had published many years before called "A Prayer for My Pastor":
"Our Father, let me be a pillar of strength to help hold him up and not a thorn in his back to pull him down. Let me support him without striving to possess him. Let me lift his hands without placing shackles around them. Let me give him help that he may devote more time in working for the salvation of others and less time in gratifying my vanity. Let me work for him as the pastor of all the members and not compel him to spend precious time in bragging on me. Let me be unselfish in what I do for him and not selfish in demanding that he do more for me. Let me strive to serve him and the church more and be happy as he serves me less and the church and others more."
I would welcome someone praying that prayer for me.
~PASTOR MELVIN C. LAWSON SR.

Been having trouble figuring out this new recording device we have called an "ikey." It's a digital recorder that records in wav or compressed Mp3 formats. Problem is its difficult to tell when its recording? The manual states that you turn it on, plug in your storage device like a flash drive, the device is supposed to "blink" six times then show how much space is left on your drive. However I've never seen it do that LOL. Then your too plug in line-level rca inputs into the device's jacks, adjust the level until the led meter light stays off. After doing this your supposed to be able to select your desired bit rate for your recording using the "select" key (wav or Mp3 format). Then you are to press the "record" key to start recording, when you do this the leds are supposed to flash once, which I never see and end up pressing the "record" key again a couple of times until I do. Which means somtimes it records sometimes I'm just stopping the recording LOL.
If anyone has used this little devise to record with, please email me and let me know how I know if is recording or if its stopped. podcast@cogopoh.com
