I suggest that we use James 5:14 and Gal 6:2 as guidelines...while I respect Pastor Lou's long service to the church and the Kingdom I find his approach sterile and to much "decently and in good order" Yes! Annointing is Biblical!... I'd rather that we cry with them, and hold them if possible, laugh with them when appropriate and hold their hands as they take their last breath...and no, I don't always write notes when I get home...While phoning for an appointment is a common courtesy it sometimes just doesn;t work and why would an elder delay making a sick/death call? Perhap's we should listen to the new Pope's admonition to his priests - get out of your churches and "get messy" maybe all of us need to "get messy" in our broken world try to bring healing from a Risen Savior
I use my Kindle during Workship for notes and Hi-liting the scripture...Also use it to compare versions, and to use comentaries ....epecially when using the Bible Gateway ( www.bibllegateway.com . ) More than 90% of my personal reading is done on my Kindle, including news, seminary classes, and e-mail..
