Received the MagicJack (see previous post)in the mail yesterday, quick shipping, great looking packaging, still can’t tell you about it though. Seems for some reason I am not able to get registered, from the softphone, “Service is unavailable, Cannot resolve proxy name.” After some further research I see that some ISPs have the appropriate ports blocked so I’m decided to wait and I’d try it at work today as there was that whole Halloween thing yesterday, yes I called it by it’s name, not the Fall Holiday, Fall Festival, or Harvest NIght, guess I’ve got to agree with Bob Franquiz with his post yesterday of Just Call it Halloween and Get Over It!

The Big Game
Went to my first NFL game yesterday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, the two professional football teams in Florida. (Dolphins 0-8, have never been on my radar, this year especially, season ticket holders should get a refund) We parked off-site as a 2-minute walk saves $15, once we got on Buc property till we left there was no interaction with the Bucs. The security guard didn’t talk, the ticket scanner says “move on”, the give-away person just hand’s out the awkward to use Bucs flags without a word. We go to our seat wait for the game(service) to begin, cheer and sit (worship and the message), we lost so we didn’t like the ending, we then get in the car and leave. The herd moved in, grazed for awhile, and the herd moved out.
Obviously I’m awkwardly relating this to church services. How ofter do church’s move people in, let them watch while we do our thing, and then help them quickly leave. With the hopes the better our show the more people that will come back. What are we doing to interact with people, to get them involved, and to take the next step. Our Christianity isn’t about watching from the stands it’s about being part of the game. Now not everyone is comfortable with being “on the field”, but there are lot of other places to get involved that are essential to the game. How easy do we make it for others to realize this?
