So, mine goes to our room, but I put it on his dresser way across the room, and pay it no attention unless it actually rings. I love reading what you are writing, and praise God that we have all this encouragement from each other in these hard times.Wendy W.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-71511973631080657192021-01-16T21:30:06.030-05:002021-01-16T21:30:06.030-05:00Thank you, Gina, for being direct and challenging ...Thank you, Gina, for being direct and challenging with these posts. I had read or skimmed some of the books you have been mentioning, and so I've been growing some convictions while at the same time giving in to the temptation to read more, research more, and use WhatsApp or apps for used stuff (that I probably don't need) more. <br /><br />You've been making me think again about what is important to me for my eternal destiny, my marriage, my children (parenting or lack of it), and my physical well-being (getting enough sleep). <br /><br />There are things I really like about using my phone as a tool. I use it for task lists and reminders. I used it yesterday to avoid buying a bench scraper I wanted but easily cut out of a square plastic jug. I used it today to receive a call from a friend that I recently rekindled relationship with. The camera is great to have handy with my preschool children constantly learning and changing. <br /><br />But with the tool comes responsibility. May God help us. Blessings to you and others reading and thinking.

We have a clock radio which I never use because lately our cat has become our "alarm clock". Every morning at between 6:15 and 6:20 without fail she meows at our bedroom door demanding to be fed.😻Reginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188723188448901080noreply@blogger.com
