I don't care much for talking on the phone. I don't mind quick informational calls similar to a text or an email but I don't like to be on the phone for long periods of time. Yesterday I was on the phone with tech support because my cell phone was once again not working.
I had been on the phone for forty minutes with 'Luis' while he tried to determine if my phone really didn't work. I was asked to be put me on hold for a moment to talk to another technician and I made the mistake of saying okay. I then heard a click followed the klaxon that sounds like the submarine is diving. Forty minutes of frustration only to have them push a wrong button causing me to go back to the beginning. The eventual answer was that my phone is broken and it can't be fixed. Was it really necessary to go through all that just to be told "sorry, we can't help you?" ArrrrrRRRG...what a waste of time!
Caller ID is a mixed blessing. There are times when I know who is calling (like a sales call or someone who just wants my money) and I can avoid the call. Of course, people know when I'm calling too. I have to leave more messages than pre-ID....go figure.
This morning I read in 1 Corinthians 1:1-3 that you and I received a pretty important call ourselves. We received a call to be holy. That call isn't your everyday, run-of-the-mill call. It's a call from God. God Himself requested that we be set apart to live a life of His choosing and He gives us that wake-up call each morning. I know when He's calling but how often do I just let the voicemail pick up?
