Alright, so I've had a night to think about this, and I'd like to revisit my previous post regarding the text message questions at church. I still love the idea, but I need to get better at it. Here's the thing. The questions are loaded, and I need to do a better job of figuring that out. I answered the questions incompletely yesterday. One in particular, I'll be addressing it on this site later this week.
I don't know, I'm really trying to figure this out as I write. Maybe we could publish a disclaimer that the answers given are cursory, and not intended to be definitive. I don't know. We'll figure it out.
Here's another issue. I think maybe we should announce the phone number at the end. 3 out of 4 messages came in within the first five minutes of my message. This is interesting only because it seems to show that some of the questions had little to do with the message and were really questions that people walked in with beforehand. Still glad I fielded them, but maybe we should be like, "The phone lines are open now."
The bottom line is, everything is an experiment. We'll keep working with it.
