We have recently become fans of John Bytheway. His talks on CD are a big hit for the whole family not only during our hour-long drives to Church but also on the way to the grocery store and other locations. In one of his talks he advises to stick a picture of the Savior next to the computer or television set so we can be reminded of veiwing only clean and worthy entertainment. Scott, being a Patriarch in our family was the first one to follow this advice by placing a picture of Christ on the screen of his iphone.
Sitting in PLTSE (language course) class this week, his iphone put on vibrate let him know that someone wanted to talk to him. Not being able to answer it during class, Scott took it out to block the call. And this is what his phone looked like when he did so:
The guy sitting next to Scott got a concerned look on his face and then: "Dude, did you just... did you... reject a call from JESUS?!"
Fear not, it was only I, his wife. I'll try again later, I guess.
hahahaha! brilliant!!!!
ReplyDeletebtw, great idea!!!
Ulya missed the story a bit. My iphone was on the table in class because it is also my dictionary. Unfortunately, the phone also wasn't on vibrate. So, when it rang, the whole class heard it. My friend Craig was shocked to see I was receiving calls directly from Jesus. (Although the class seemed a little concerned as I, the only Mormon in class, often remind them to stop drinking coffee and alcohol or risk the consequences. - The effect was priceless.) Jon told the class he might have to start listening to me as he saw I rejected the call (knowing it was Ulya and I could call her on my break in 10 minutes and not Jesus.)They were all very impressed that not only did I receive phone calls from Jesus, but was also important enough to "tell" Jesus to wait until I had a break.
ReplyDeleteOn a serious note, it's great to know we can talk to our Father in Heaven whenever we want. He's always as close as a prayer, and He'll never make us wait or send us to voice mail.
hahahahaha!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteagree, it's a wonderful blessing to know that He is there for us. always.
