Gamer: Why the RGB? Because it makes my battle station faster.

Church Production Tech: Why the RGB? It's an illustration of the Shekinah Glory, of course.

I know I can do all things through Christ, but do I really have to do everything around here?

I created this account on Oct 18, 2012. 12 years ago today. I tried a couple of options, but someone already had the name I wanted and wouldn't give it up.
That's why it took me until November to actually start posting as @TheChurchIT
Anyway, today is my #MyTwitterAnniversary

Me: Why did I set this up in such a tedious and annoying manner. I'm going to simplify it.

Me later on: Oh, yeah. The tedious and annoying set up had a reason. Time to set it all back up again.

Today I found it again and had a laugh.

Thanks, past me! I needed it.

[Tales From Church IT @TheChurchIT]

User: I didn't know about that. I was never trained how to use it.

Me: I've seen you at the five trainings we've had on it in the last five years.

User: I guess I've just had someone else do that stuff for me.

[Tales From Church IT @TheChurchIT]

My insurance company notified me they did a special authority in my medication that will be in effect until February 29, 2025.

User: It's strange. How did the system mess it up like that?

IT: I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you did something wrong.
