The Word and Cell Phones

I was told that my mother lost her cell phone. My dad said my mom was lost without it. It reminded me of part of Sunday's sermon last week.

Imagine if we all valued God's Word in the same way we valued our cell phones. That we would carry it with us wherever we went. That if we lost it, we would go back to retrieve it. That we would daily (sometime hourly) check it to see if there was a message for us. That we would allow it to distract us from other activities throughout our day. That make sure to have it in case of an emergency. That we would use it to talk to others.

It is funny, as I write this there is a commercial on TV from US Cellular about how they can help you if you loose your cell phone.

I already do this in a way. You see I keep a Bible on my Palm Handheld. Of course I have more than just my Bible. But it is great to be able to carry God's Word with me wherever I go. I find it especially helpful when Barbara takes me shopping. It gives me something worthwhile to do while I am shopping. Not the shopping is not worthwhile! =)
