| Can you hear me now? |
Well, this may be so long…for now. My connection to the world was destroyed
yesterday when a lumber truck yanked the internet cable from our house. He literally snapped it off both the house
and the electrical pole. So, now I have
40 feet of wire neatly coiled on our front steps waiting for the repair man to
reconnect us.
We are kind of a nerdy family when it comes to technology. We have all sorts of gadgets and gizmos
around our house. Cell phones,
computers, cameras, televisions, an Ipad and Ipod…we got quite an array of
fancy devices. Without that cable most
of those devices don’t function properly.
In a sense, that 40 feet of cable is the only thing that unites us to
the rest of the planet. It brings us
telephone service, internet, and TV. It
is our main source for entertainment and communication. Oh, little black cord of wonder, how I miss
thee!
It’s funny just how addicted I have become to our
technology. The very moment it was
ripped from the wall, I knew it. My web
browser stopped working. I broke out in
a cold sweat, my heart raced. Not my
internet. Not now in the prime of its
life. Why Lord, why?
Wait a minute…Lord?
Hey, I remember you. Yes, it has been a while. We should sit down and chat…I have some time
now if you’re not busy. Maybe we can
reconnect.
