One of the many neat things I have been able to do on my iPhone is take sermon notes. I am not able to write in longhand quickly or legibly enough to do it any more. So, when I saw the "notes" application on my phone, using it for sermon notes seemed a logical thing to do. I have been doing this since last October.
Now, sermon notes are not for everyone. But, for me, they keep me focused and I like being able to go back and recall the things that spoke to me that day in particular.
This morning, I was kindly taken aside and told that some church members are distracted by my use of my iPhone and think that I am texting or surfing in church. Apparently, some of our members do not think it is possible for this 50 year old woman to use her iPhone keyboard quickly and efficiently enough to take sermon notes.
Back when some of us tried to take sermon notes in longhand, we were criticized for writing in church. It is a no-win situation, I suppose. I could try dragging my church into the 21st century, but that is probably futile.
Since I am the person who loads the sermons on to the church website, I guess I can listen again and take my notes at home.
But, it is just not the same.
