This past summer I got a video iPod. It’s a fantastic tool and it quickly changed my life. If you have an iPod you know it’s something very personal…it contains everything from my favorite books and music to my favorite sermons… especially those incredible podcasts from northwaychurch.tv.

I quickly noticed that my 14 year old son and my wife had iPod envy. Debbie recently took up running as she’s been training for a 5k, and she asked to borrow it. No problem, I’m a very giving person…just make sure you return it. My son also convinced me that it’s impossible to mow without music. Who knew? I told him when I was a kid we mowed without self-propelled mowers or music, and when we mowed it was in our bare feet in the snow and we liked it! However, I gave in – I’m such a softy.

Two weeks ago, much to my horror, I realized that I must have misplaced my iPod. I looked everywhere, high and low…all thru the house, my car and at work. After two weeks I found myself depressed as I was going thru iPod withdrawal. I retraced my steps a thousand times to no avail and then I had an epiphany! I didn’t lose it…Debbie must have lost it! I quickly confronted her and persuasively argued that she was the last one that had it. I informed her that it would help our marriage if she would just pony up and return it.

For some odd reason she didn’t appreciate that. I then approached my son and gave him a similar lecture. Needless to say, things have been intense lately. I was on my way to church Saturday night with a powerful message from Matthew 8 on not accusing and judging others and I reached into my briefcase and you’ll never guess what I found? My iPod! To make matters worse Debbie and my son were standing there when I found it.

I apologized and they said “It’s ok, we love you, and we know you are a bonehead.� I think God has a great sense of humor and I’m glad my family does too.
