One of my responsibilities at my church is producing the monthly newsletter. It had been a long time since we had one so I wanted my first newsletter to be perfect. I got all my articles and even began a bit early not to be pressed for time. Mr. Hall our Interim Pastor was about as excited as I was about the first newsletter. We had great stories, articles and news. I finished it up on a Thursday all 6 pages and left it at the presses. I had proofed every article except for the last couple that were given to me at the deadline.
This is a good example of haste makes waste. Sunday morning the newsletters were given out by our deacons as the church congregation left. After I got home I received a phone call from a good friend and asked me if I had proofed a particular section (laughing the whole time, mind you). I hadn't so I went back and read the article. Instead of it reading "remember our sick and shut-ins" it read "please remember our sick and sh*t-ins". This is definitely one for the record book!!
