Hello!
Felt like an expert for a short while when creating a counter that is increasing to alter between messages on a display.
But now I am back to the newbie / rookie feeling again. 
I run this code once every second to update the display, mostly because the clock should be ticking.
But when an alarm is triggered I want to show a message for a few seconds.
I have also more messaged to alter between (depending on if the bool = true).
But I do not manage to get it working.
The "else"-statement is always true and my counter directly jumps to 16 after showing Message 1, and then to 21 to then be reset to 0.
I marked the problem area with "NOT A GOOD IDEA...."
I'm so stuck.. Maybe the whole approach is wrong?
