all I want for Christmas
November 21st, 2007 by Pastor Eric
I don’t normally do this, but here goes.
I wasn’t around for my birthday so I know a lot of people wanted to get me something and couldn’t because I wasn’t here. Plus, my family would ask me what I wanted and I couldn’t tell them anything that I needed or wanted. When you get to be my age, when you want something, you buy it.
Well… this came out yesterday. The Kindle
This is what I want for a late birthday/Christmas present. Some of you might say, “Well if you just buy what you want, why don’t you buy this?” My answer would be “…because it is $400.”
You can e-mail me if you need to hear some of my justifications why it is necessary for me to have something that wasn’t even around last week and why now I can’t live without. Reasons, like my book shelves are overflowing with books and now I can eliminate that or how many trees I can save (I have read 5 books in the last 3 weeks alone) or how I know Pastor Sam is going to want one and I need to get if before he does. If you need more reasons than that, I will try to come up with some.
I don’t ask for much, please don’t deny this one pleasure. If that doesn’t work, do it for the children.
I have got to go. I have to go find a band aid for the paper cut I just got from turning a page on a book.
Until then, I’ll be readin’ it old school,
Pastor Eric
