I'm a paper book girl. I love turning the actual paper pages, not just touching a screen to continue reading. Lately though I have been taking my Nook with me to church to cut down on caring around my big scriptures. Well, I might just be going back to the normal scriptures. Today as I sat in Relief Society we were asked to go to a scripture to read as a class. Somehow I hit something on the screen that started the reading feature on my Nook. In the middle of the teacher bearing her testimony my Nook started to read out John 4:1. How embarrassing. It also didn't help that the Bishop happened to be sitting right next to me. I guess at least I can be thankful that it was a scriptural passage that started to play on my Nook instead of some other application like my "Minions" app.
Sadly this is not the first time that I have been the cause of unneeded commotion in a quiet "spiritual" setting. The previous experience was even worse. When I was young and Giga Pets were all the rage. I had one. Every couple of days they would have a birthday and the little game would ring out the tune of Happy Birthday. On one of the occasions when my little giga pet had a birthday I happened to be sitting in the congregation at a funeral. Yes, a funeral. Of all the places to have a Happy Birthday tune ring out.
See technology! Or maybe it is just me and technology.
