It culminated the other day when my wife told me I had a bad reputation.
My mom had said something rather accusatorially the other day as well.
It goes something like this... I don't answer my cell phone very often. People call me... a lot. They know I have it with me. But I don't answer it. So, my lack of picking up the phone apparently gives me a bad reputation.
Let me respond.
These people who are calling me AREN'T paying my cell phone bill. I've yet to receive a supplement cell check from any of them.
Another thing: I'm scatter-brained. Very. It's a curse. If I am focused on something and get sidetracked, it's very possible that I will forget what I was originally doing and not get back to it till later. Many times, when my cell rings, I'm in the middle of something, even if it's thinking about something important. This same curse causes me to often wander around the church or my home looking for a coffee cup, pen, wallet, you name it. Anything I've had with me, set down for a moment, and then been interrupted.
So anyway... what was I talking about?
Oh yeah. Anyway, my cell phone is mine. I pay the bill. It's for my convenience, not anyone else's. Since I have this nifty blog, how about all of you just leave me messages here via the comment form? Wouldn't THAT be great?
With the advent of cell phones, everybody wants you available to them on their timetable, at that moment, for their convenience. I'm sorry, but I don't even like talking on the phone anyway, much less to be "on call" all the time.
So here's an idea... leave a comment on my blog if you want me to contact you in some way.
Or you can try to call my cell phone...













Thx! :)

Mom,
If you'll just post a quick comment on this blog when you're feeling like dying, I'll be sure to call! ;)
I love you too! (Uh, hope no one else is really reading all this!)
Posted by: Jeff | December 10, 2005 at 02:40 PM
When you miss my funeral because you wouldn't answer your phone (cell or home) I hope you feel really bad. I still love you and pray for you every day. How's that for some Mom guilt!!!
Posted by: Marylee Noble | December 10, 2005 at 02:30 PM
I think it must run in your family judging by your sister's same attitude. I won't take it personally if you don't answer when I call, but I will track you down.

Taylor,
Being a pastor doesn't mean that you service everyone everytime everywhere. Scripture says that we are to "equip God's people for works of service..." In my mind, that means that I'm helping to propel others into service, so that more people's needs are met. I'm only one person...
And I hardly think that my cell phone has anything to do with servant leadership.
BUT, my back DOES still get quivers when it thinks about helping you and your dad move that printing press made out of cast iron.... Now THAT'S servant leadership! ;)

It hurts me to think that a pastor doesn't think that he should be ""on call" all the time" to his friends and fellow christians.
Allow me to quote the Journey Church web page: "There is a high level of trust for the church's leaders, and our leaders actively seek to practice servant? leadership."

Thanks for such a clear cut way to get under your skin. Usually takes years of finding just that one thing that will drive someone crazy, course I've almost perfected that.
Talk to you soon, one of many, hundreds of calls to place.
Posted by: Amy Darcey | December 05, 2005 at 03:22 PM
Jim,
I love it!
Taylor, my new number is (202) 452-7468. Please call me anytime. I guarantee an answer.
Jeff

I think that you are just making excuses. You can call people from the church office and your house.
Posted by: Taylor James | December 05, 2005 at 12:53 PM
Jeff,
Here is a cool solution to slackers who call your cell phone frequently and drive you crazy for no reason at all. (People like me) Give them your "new" cell phone number. Give it a call you will fall in love. (202)452-7468.
Jim
