Can't live a day without YOU

Most of my friends know that I can be pretty cheezy...no, really. Anyway, Monday, I left my daughter's theater rehearsal and got home feeling as though I was missing something. My pants pockets were empty, my purse was mysteriously lighter. Yes, it's true...I lost my cell phone. It's an older phone so I wasn't heartbroken, but not being able to find it was unnerving. I sent an e-mail and called the theater in the morning and noone turned it in or found it. Hmmmm. Years ago we didn't have cell phones and everything was fine. I didn't feel as though I was so important that people needed to be able to contact me 24-7. But now, with two teenagers at different schools with different schedules and extracurricular activities, I was feeling a little lost, almost panicky. I went a day without my phone. It was really awful. I started trying to put it into perspective with other things in my life and it made me think of a song by Avalon (here comes the cheezy part). But before you take this the wrong way, let me preface this by saying NO, I'm not comparing the importance of my cell phone to the importance of having Jesus in my life. But it did make me think about how trivial little things like cell phones have escalated in importance in my life over the years and perhaps my recognition of the importance of Jesus in my life has not. All this to say, that I'm glad to have my cell phone back, but today I reclaim Jesus as having more importance in my life than my cell phone.

PS - I've now lost over 13 pounds and I CAN live a day without them.
