Opus 2024-293: Texting

I wonder if there is a ministry in texting.  A man in our church has gone in for triple bypass surgery.  Understandably his wife is a bit nervous and she is texting everyone who has a phone.  I am in the loop and I am thinking that every little ping helps to distract her and allow her to relax.

I for one get judgmental when I see people who seem to live on their phone.  Maybe they need to be judged.  Maybe I do.  Maybe they are supplying a vital human link to someone in need.  It is a better way to look at it as long as they don’t walk out in front of a bus.

I wonder if there is a spiritual gift of texting.  Asking for a friend.
