Are we addicted to convenience? I have spent 3 hours today trying to get my wife's phone fixed at the Verizon store, while she has used mine for the last couple of days. New number - check, last 4 digits of her Social Security number - no. Wait let me call her - ow - I can't no phone. I'll text her - ow- no phone. My mind illuminates, I'll call her mom to get it - but no phone. I have noticed pay phones have disappeared in the past 7 or 8 years with the cell phone wave. A cordless phone, but today a phoneless cord and it is aggravating to say the least. My hat goes off to those who still don't use cells, and have not got the addiction to punch a number when something happens funny, tragic, pointless, or just to feel or look important to have a cell phone stuck in your ear. Is the mark of the beast a cell phone #, just saying they are stuck into our forehead most all the time with our right hands (yes, biblically your ear is part of your forehead). I feel disconnected from the world today - but after a while it is kind of nice not to hear anyone elses problems so that I can actually deal with mine (minus the cell phone bit). I wonder, should I disconnect from facebook and blogger for a few days? Na. I will pledge to still surf the unending wave until Jesus return, unless the power goes out. I challenge you to disconnect sometime for a day and see if it helps you to connect to God. Gotta go - phone is ringing
