Have Phone - Will Wait

Having noticed people making good use of wait time by using their phone, I admire their productivity.  Back in the day, waiting in line was cause for simple reflection and recollection, or friendly face-to-face conversation. 


Nowadays, phone calls to automatic answering services (a misnomer in my opinion) and waiting for a friend (as I write this), are opportunities for my journaling on iPhone Notes, planning on Calendar, messaging, copying to a Gdoc, or adding to a Gsheet.  So, wait time is welcome.  Bring it on … with or without a phone.

go to that point

Looking forward to the future, I envision certain points in my life that leave me in awe.  A lifetime full of miracles leads me to anticipate, notice, and be grateful to God when I experience His tender mercies.  My wife Kay plays a central role in many of them.  


A common phrase in church and other meeting announcements follows a short-term outline of what to expect.  “We’ll go to that point,” meaning let’s start, and more good things are to come.  I suppose it could go without saying.  A nice launch, however, for what was announced. 


Being sometimes eager to go to the point of reunion with my Sweetheart, I remind myself, “We’ll go to that point,” and more good things are to come … with love.
