dead wrong

I know I have an unhealthy tendency toward perfectionism, but mistakes like these reinforce the importance of double-checking:

“In this week’s enews, we made a huge mistake. Under the prayer concerns, we listed ****** as having passed away. This could not be more incorrect!  ****** is doing fine and it is actually a praise that he was able to go home from the hospital.”

That’s a serious typo.

  1. I once went to visit a family when I heard their mother had passed. I was very suprised when their mother answered the door! The lady who took the original prayer request over the phone was hard of hearing. It was actually another relative who had died.
