When we moved overseas, email was a new idea in the states. Direct dial phone service hadn't even come to our town yet. When we finally got telephones, the wires had to be rolled from the post office to our house by the workers. We used the phones Mayberry style for years, calling the operator on duty to patch us through to whoever we needed to call. We got to know the operators' work schedules and would make our calls to the States when Maglo was working since we knew he would actually try to place the call.
Now, with our kids far away at college, we can turn on Skype and have them in the room with us. We can share conversation and see their faces and it doesn't cost a dime.True, we can't share our brownies, but that's not all bad!
I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
2 John 2:12
