My dear friends and comrades-at-arms,
This life is a war. Every day we, Christ’s chosen, His soldiers, His elite, are called to pick up our swords and shields and do battle. We’re called to rise up against the enemy and fight in the name of true freedom, love, and holiness.
Of course, as anyone who is actually involved in this battle knows, this is no easy fight we’re in. The Enemy has a host of demons that seems flat-out overwhelming. His army is large, and what’s worse, they know us intimately, know our every fear and flaw.
I myself have a demon to fight. One particularly demon that I face off against each day. There is no rest from this battle, no chance to recooperate or regroup. This demon attacks and torments me relentlessly, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.
Behold, the face of my tormentor:
This is Phone. He comes from the deepest, darkest pits of hell. He screams and torments without tire, without end, buffeting away constantly at my peace, my sanity, my security.
See the glowing red eye? This eye is the notification that Phone has a voicemail waiting for me – a new little taunt, a fresh attack on my persona. And though I listen to them constantly, as soon as I think I’m done, and there are no more voicemails, that evil red eye lights up again.
Voicemails are the bane of my existence.
From the moment I walk into the office at 8:00 AM, bleary eyed and deprived of sleep and caffeine, Phone glares at me with its evil Eye of Sauron. And on Monday mornings? You can forget it. The hellbane steals my entire morning.
So pray for me, my friends, that each morning I can arise, put on the armor of Christ, and come to work prepared to do battle with Phone, this most insidious of all demons.
