Island in a stream

I must say that I enjoyed my Shabbas's where I did not use the telephone. I was growing in my yiddishkeit and I was certain that I was doing something right by my people.  I never did think that God was overly happy but I knew that my people would be happy.  That was what it took.  But that said, I had no phone contact with any person on Shabbas for a year. It was ok, but Sunday is just not a great day to call everyone and people are out and about and you can indeed reach some people albeit not the orthodox jews who now I see live in some darkness on this important day of the week.  That said, I spoke with my Uncle today in California.  My brother too who is in China.  If they are not in your day on shabbas, how good of a shabbas is it.... really?  I just say this, be good and be mindful that choices are ours to make.  Hell is a real place but you don't go there by being a telephone friend on shabbas to someone else.  Be right in your judgements and expect the best.  Its out there and you want it.  I got it now. :)  B'H
