This afternoon I’m in a meeting and the phone rings and it is someone important so I excuse myself and answer the call. Well I hear my friend in line at what sounded like a movie theater, amusement park, shopping center check out cashier, or something. I yelled out his name but I didn’t get a response. That has happened to me a few times. One time was fairly late in the evening for me and I called back because I wondered if my friend was in trouble.

Anyway this is one of those little pet peeves that I have with technology. I hate accidental calls. I don’t know whether to call the person back and confirm that the call was a mistake or whether to let it go. Most of the time now I let it go, but what if someone was having a legitimate emergency? I finally learned how to lock the keyboard on my phone so I don’t call others accidentally.

So, no church planting lesson today. Just a shout out: Lock your phone.
