hang-ups

i have had a few hang-ups lately - on the phone that is... a hang-up caller.

at first i thought it was someone who was just a wee bit "slow" (ahem), and didn't understand that when the greeting is playing in voicemail, i can't hear it... so it won't give me time to answer the phone if i missed the rings like a regular answering machine would.

but this morning i answered the phone, said hello 3 times, and after5 to 10 seconds they hung up. deliberately.

as horatio would say, "it's a signature...."

(dang it, when mom was in the hospy, i watched far to much csi miami! lol)

anyways, i have an idea who it is, especially after the question i was asked by a certain somebody this sunday...... about something somebody else claims i had said, but i didn't.

but to this particular person, to try to explain that fact would be useless. and to relay it through the question-asker would be as fruitless, as one would be guaranteed to get the message garbled. which would probably be what started the whole thing.

take a garbled message to a garbled mind, and you get garbles.

so, the next step is finding out how to block the caller, i suppose; except that their number is blocked so i can't *69 it!

oh well, it woke me up, anyways. my morning wakeup call, lol!

*******

z mos vonderbar ting aboot alla dis? hehe.... God is in control. ain't nothin' can happen that God doesn't have as part of His plan.... and if it's part of His plan, it's part of His plan for a REASON... a GOOD reason. His plans for me are to prosper me, not to harm me. so whom shall i fear? whom shall i fear? ixnay on the earfnay! lol

  1. It could be a fax machine or something with the wrong number?

  2. Subscribe to anonymous caller Id. That way your phone won't take anonymous phone calls. It's only $2 a month.

  3. i think i could hear breathing, and quite a deliberate manual - phone bumping on the base noises - hangup, so i think i was a human being, a human being annoying, lol.

    i'll look into the anonymous caller id. thanks jenny. :)

The Radical Summons: "
Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
