A Moment with Joni Eareckson Tada — Loose Words. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
Hi, I'm Johnny Erickson Tata, and the other day I purchased a new computer. Instead of making life simpler, it had me lost in a sea of special commands. In frustration, I rang the 800 number. After working through a series of machine messages, I finally spoke to a real person. Hi there, I'm Michelle, and I'm here to help you. First, what's your name? And I grow back. Johnny Erickson Tata, and boy Michelle, I hope you can help me because I am not a happy camper. Well, there was this brief silence, and then she said, Huh, are you the Johnny Erickson Tata? Yikes, I've been caught. And it reminded me that I dare not let loose careless words. The reputation of Jesus is always at stake. In Acts chapter 1, Jesus told His followers, Be my witnesses. As Christ followers, we can act out of our frustration and defame Christ's name, or we can make others thirst for God. Do the latter and be a good witness for Jesus.
