More Than Useless

It’s obvious that I’m a little compulsive when it comes to taking notes in church. I haven’t always been that way. In fact, I was out of college before I even started doing it as much as I do now. Even so, there were plenty of reasons that I had for why I’d take notes and the reasons that I had for not doing usually amounted to something along the lines of I don’t feel like it (which can really be read as: I’m feelin’ lazy).

The other day, I posed a question on Facebook: I simply asked “what do you think the purpose of the seven year tribulation is?” I was surprised by the response – especially one in particular (which has since been deleted by the author).
