Time for some computer humor . . .
Fourth Church New Orleans in Lakeview Skypes its Wednesday night testimony meetings. My husband usually monitors these calls from his laptop at church, but after a hard work day one Wednesday, he just turned the computer on at church and went home to listen to the testimony meeting. After arriving home, he discovered that Skype was not working, probably because a mike had been tuned off at church that afternoon. He texted the following apology to me in church, and I read it as a testimony which amused our small and informal congregation. I thought his response showed some Wednesday night computer humor!
