New number... so traumatic

In an effort to continue the 7 straight days of blogging (something... anything... just blog)... I'm back with Day 2.


Have you ever switched cell phone numbers? It's quite stressful isn't it? I recently made the switch to the world's greatest mobile device ... at first it wasn't a big deal because I was carrying both phones, so people could reach me on either number. It was actually kind of nice because certain people didn't have the new number... I could hide from them (I know shocking... pastors hide from people... you should see what I can do with the new invisible feature of iChat).

So, today we made the decision to end the contract we had with our old provider and go exclusively with AT&T. I'm very excited I no longer have to carry two phones... that was annoying.

Anyway, it's just stressful to change numbers. I hate it... I've had my old cell phone number since my freshman year of college at the CHOG's finest institution of higher learning . So many people had that number... people from Florida, Ohio, Camps, Church, School, Family, Friends, Colleagues, World Leaders... the list goes on.

Now I must face the realization that at this very moment someone may be dialing 513.594.0667 and hearing a computerized person on the other end telling them that I have officially changed my number without giving them adequate notice. I could be offending someone right now. I can't handle that pressure. Hopefully my e-mails, facebook announcements and text messages to my contacts are adequate means of spreading the message of my new cell phone number.

If only I (we) was so adamant about spreading the Gospel of Jesus as I was my new cell phone number. Now that would be something....
