Yesterday I got an email that contained a virus. It was sent to the church’s email address. Luckily my virus scan and my keen sense for peculiar emails caught it before it was opened. When getting mail for the church’s email address, I’m very careful about what attachments I open. Since everyone seems to have the church’s address in their address book, I’ve found that it always gets the latest virus whenever a new one comes out.
The best step for combating replicating viruses is not to use Microsoft Outlook. Virus writers tend to expoit some of the automatic features of Outlook in order to spread the virus.
On my agenda this week is going to Lipscomb’s first basketball game in the new arena on Tuesday night. Our youth minister had extra tickets to it, so I decided to go. I’m a bit surprised that they’re promoting Lipscomb among the church youth group. Lately it seems as if Freed-Hardeman University is the only university for Christians to go to (at least according to certain people at church). The youth group has already made half a dozen trips to Freed Hardeman since the Summer. As far as I can tell, this is the first trip to my alma mata (Lipscomb). Both our youth minister and pulpit minister are from FHU and I’m sure FHU has been heavily promoted amoung the youth.
