As today is Veteran’s Day, the church office was closed and the pastor had the day off. I am in the drug store across the street from the church and lo and behold, I notice him in the store and say, “Hello Monsignor!” He smiles and says “Hello” to me, and then to 2 other people. A few minutes later, I am near the check-out line texting my husband. A lady behind me says, “Are you in line?” I turn around and say, “No, I’m just on my phone.” Guess who is behind her, thinking he’s on line?
I can just hear it this Sunday….
“Maybe we all need to re-evaluate the role of technology in our lives. Do you ever find yourself mindlessly scrolling on your phone, rudely holding up the check-out line, oblivious to those around you?”
