This Sunday night seemed like a typical intern week. I showed up, put together the podcast, then operated the lights for the evening services. The night went very well. There were minimal problems with the lighting or timer. I kept good time with the service log. Little did I know that I had made a significant mistake with the podcast that night, and it was not brought to my attention until the next day.
Apparently, I had begun the podcast at the wrong time during the service. The usual format exclusively includes the teaching; but I had accidentally began the podcast at the announcements section and included the offering worship set with it. For production and, more importantly, copyright reasons, this version of the podcast should not have been broadcast on the worldwide web. Fortunately, I was able to fix it the next day and begin the podcast recording where it was supposed to begin.
This experience left a very valuable lesson: always pay attention to what you are doing! I had become accustomed to beginning the podcast whenever I saw the speaker or heard his voice; however, I didn't take into account the fact that sometimes the speaker also does the announcements. Oops...lesson learned.
