Context for “backstage setup”. We had to elevate the laptop (my iPhone 7-Plus) to get better bluetooth reception. The VGA cable wasn’t very long.

Audio-visual booth (center, with open door) in back left corner, next to the cry room.

 

My lavaliere microphone falls apart (that’s never happened to me in 18+ years speaking) one minute before i am supposed to speak.

As Father Benjamin is finishing my brief intro, Jordan is frantically trying to repair the microphone.

All i hear in slow-motion is, “Please – welcome – Jeff – Noel.”

A second or two later Jordan (AV tech) says, “There, it’s fixed.”

i run from the back, down the middle aisle (wich was the plan from the start), genuflect, step up “onstage” and begin.

About 30 seconds in, i realize my presentation slide clicker isn’t working,

Dear Son, did you catch how i resisted the obvious and natural human response to panic and melt-down?

What’s at the center of your life?

When i was 16, it was not what’s at the center now. Then, i was the center of my life. Now, Jesus is at the center.

The closer you get

The closer you get God, the more the devil wants a piece of you.

What will you do to remain vigilant to constantly protect yourself from the devil’s insidiously disguised temptations to become tempted?
