Recently, I was asked for a quote for an announcement about my new position, and thought it was pretty cool. The scary part was that I didn’t realize it was going into a NEWSPAPER for a circulation of about 60,000. (I guess I thought it would be for a bulletin board posting or something.) Kinda scary. It was for an announcement of new Faculty at MVNU (which I am one of the rookies!).
Since I know you are dying to see what I said, You can read the article here:

It made me think about other times I have been in the newspaper. I have had 2 other times that I remember getting my picture in the paper. (I need to see if I can find the articles in the paper archives and post them.) The first time, I was in 5th grade and was on the front cover of the Marion (Indiana) sports page, swinging a mean bat. The ironic part is that I think I struck out on that swing…
The other time I was in the paper was when I was 17 and lifegurarding. It was and impressive, no-shirt, showing-the-cannons color shot on the front of the “neighborhood” section of the Fort Wayne (IN) paper.
So does that mean I have gone over my allotted 15 minutes of fame? But more importantly, did I use those times to show Christ to the world? It is that age old question, “when people meet/see/hear me, do they meet/see/hear Christ?” I think it was obvious with this last one that people know I am a Christian, at least I hope it was obvious.
I’m curious of everyone else’s story of their 15 minutes. What’s your story?
