The first night of Vacation Bible School went exceedingly well considering the fact that I was sorely under prepared for it this year. I’ve had an absurdly busy summer and VBS got put on the back burner until about a month ago when I realized I only had four weeks to finish getting things ready. Man, I’m such a procrastinator.
As usual, our first night of VBS was brimming with problems. My wife and I were running around like toddlers that were just given too much sugar and red dye. Among the lesser fires we had to put out today we found that the digital projector we borrowed from the associational office didn’t work for our opening assembly. Basically this meant that I had to improvise 30 minutes without the PowerPoint presentation we had prepared and had to read the script from the video we were going to show. No amount of charm could have helped me in that situation. Oh well.
Later on, however, I found out why the projector wasn’t working. I had my monitor set to something like 1152×864 and that resolution was incompatible with the ancient digital projector I had sitting on the table. I changed my computer’s resolution to 800×600 and it then worked just fine. Now I know; and now we have it for tomorrow.
I apologize for rambling, I’m so tired that when I pause in my sentences to figure out what I want to type next I fall asleep, my head nodding and my mouth slack-jawed. In fact, I’ve got a puddle of drool collecting on my shirt as I speak. Ewww. Good night.
