Sunday, February 24th, 2008

Something happened at work a few weeks ago that reminded me of something similar that my Sunday school teacher had talked about a few years ago. First, the work incident.

Yes, I’ll use names. Drew used to work on aisle 37-38. Richard worked next to him, on aisle 39-40. Drew would play his rock music on his cell phone, and Richard would play his CCM/Rock on his cell phone. One day, I was on Drew’s aisle, and I heard music coming from Richard’s aisle. It sounded like Drew had gone over to Richard’s aisle and was playing… something, but it wasn’t Drew, it was Richard’s “CCM.”

Hm.

Anyway, it reminded me of the time my Sunday school teacher told us that he stopped listening to CCM. He got in his van one time, and when he turned it on, he thought, “Who in the world changed my radio to a rock station?” Well, no one had changed it – it was still on the CCM station (99.5 FM). He said that was it for him.

Hm.
