Cell Phoes and Such

Now..let's be very clear about this. I do love cell phones. I love the technology, the different makes and models and just about everything else about 'em. I don't think that has ever been a real big secret. But lately I have started to change my view of them and Sunday was almost the last straw.
I was serving on the table Sunday morning and many things distracted me from the experience. Babies crying, people talking and laughing and cell phones. They were everywhere. I will not name names but there were quite a few people using them to clearly text and to generally just play with. In the MIDDLE of the Lord's Supper. Where have we come to as a church that this is acceptable. I wanted to to rip the phones out of their hands and toss them out the lobby doors. Have we no respect or thankfulness for what has been done for us as a church and as christians? It surely doesn't appear that we do. I don't mean to base the whole church's attitude on a small few, but aren't we only as strong as the weakest among us?
Sunday night I also noticed that someone had the bible stored on their phone. At first I thought that was pretty cool. But then it made me wonder if they miss the smell, the feel and the way YOUR bible makes you feel. I misplaced my bible and my message bible during the move and took another bible I had to church on sunday. It just wasn't the same (now I know how Jackie feels about her old bible =)
So..I have decided to leave my cell phone either in the car or at home during church from now on. And i've also decided to try and not be so dependent on it. I am also praying hard for those individuals I saw using theirs and for us as a church that we will be a more christ centered body. =)
