It's not much. And, it's everything.
I just got off a conference call with friends who also happen to be colleagues. One's wife is having major surgery on Monday for cancer. And we gathered from Albuquerque, Pittsburgh, Peoria and Houston to pray with and for her. Or, as it says in scripture, "they will come from east and west, from north and south."
It was just about 10 minutes. It's always a little awkward to pray with someone over the phone. But I am not sure there was a dry eye among us.
I wonder what the Apostle Paul would have done with email, and even just telephones, not to mention the ability to make conference calls across thousands of miles. Can you imagine?
One call. Ten minutes. We move forward and wait for surgery on Monday. It's really not that much. And yet, it's everything.
