I am so embarrassed. Why? I will get to that in a moment but first I must write a confession. I am terrible about paying attention to details. When someone asks whether a person had glasses, what colour of hair, what they were wearing, I am afraid that I come up short. That can be embarrassing when I don't notice that my wife got a hair cut or a new outfit.
However, as a mathematics teacher I was a stickler for details. Proper introduction to problems, proper use of equal signs, etc. As a Bible teacher I also must be a stickler for details. I know that you can gather truth from a casual study of the Word but the real gems are found in the details.
So why was I embarrassed? I found a nice template for my PowerPoint lesson on Sunday. The problem was I didn't check the details. There lying on the Bible was a rosary. Why didn't I notice that before but I didn't. Most people didn't notice but some did and I must say thank you to those who pointed it out to me. I have to be more careful about the details.
