That Darn Phone......

Church, several years ago. A little kid was entertaining herself on her Mom's phone.
They're in the pew in front of me. And it rings real loud.

Now, everyone's looking at me.. the new guy..who nobody recognizes. Dirty looks all around. Daggers. Silent curses. Glaring glances when I went up for Communion.

I tell you, that morning God was my only friend there.

Looking back, the right thing to do would have been growing animated and loud, like Steve Martin. Pointing dramatically, "It was her ! It was the little girl."

Welp, live & learn....
