dear emily,
i just read a blog post that said, "you are not a number!", and i thought,
"amen!" i could never be a number. those alien digits leave me cold.
i wish phone numbers could go back to "hi doris, could you please
dial phyllis for me?"
every evening at dinner, my father would receive multiple calls from
his answering service. he never recorded a single number but could
hang up the phone and call each patient from memory. one time i
asked him how he remembered all those telephone numbers.
"anyone ought to be able to remember seven numbers." gulp. well,
now it's ten!
i am not a number. i am a word. though small, i come from mighty
stock. my word is as powerful as my time spent with the Word, and
i would rather memorize Him.
love,
lea
