How To Fight Boredom at (insert eccelsial meeting here)

My friend Luke, a church planter with the Christian & Missionary Alliance in my hometown of Birmingham, AL, recently posted his “Top Ten Ways To Fight Boredom in District Conference”.

I may have to employ these when and if I tag along with Greg to presbytery meetings.

10. Fall Asleep, this option only works if you don’t snore!

9. Play “I spy with my little eye” game.

8. Drink a lot of coffee or any beverage and time how long you can hold your pee before having to run out scream!

7. Practice your paper airplane making with the annual report

6. Watch an episode of “Lost” on your ipod. Just try not to gasp too loud.

5. Find a wireless hotspot to upload your latest blog.

4. Count the number of “other” people asleep

3. Sit across the room from your friend and make funny faces at each other.

2. Randomly scream out your favorite lines from the “The Princess’ Bride” and see who finishes the line for you.

1. Coffee Break! Starbucks!

I don’t watch Lost, but I’ll have my video iPod at that point, so I might give it a try. Also, there’s no such thing as a “coffee break” for me . . . coffee is something I would need to take a break from, not to.
