Seriously it's not like I was in a deep
sleep, I don't think I rarely am in a deep sleep but this morning at
3:30 AM I hear the ping sound on my cell phone, which I keep next to
my self in bed, of Messenger indicating that someone wishes to text
with me. If I am awake, more so than I was this morning, I usually
have no problem taking the call and being civilized. In fact with the
current friendship that I have with my friend in the Netherlands this
often happens. I get a ping around 330 in the morning which is
midmorning early afternoon in Nijmegen And she wants to visit for a
bit. I usually have no problem we talked for a few minutes and I go
back to sleep. I was somewhat shocked this morning however thinking
it was going to be Elske and in fact it was my ex-brother-in-law
John.
I like John, John is a pretty solid
individual, ex-military, focused and professional oh yes and
born-again Christian very born-again Christian which as a rule I shy
away from however since for 20 some years John is married to my
wife's sister to send relatively (excuse the pun) close contact.
Since the divorce we've kept in nominal contact mostly through
Facebook. It's not like we have heart-to-heart texting sessions at
all. So, to my surprise it was some sort of scriptural reference
which is the last thing I want to see a 3:30 AM. Still, I kind of
figured that this was not meant specifically for me. I sort of
thought that perhaps he did one of those “mail outs” that goes to
everybody on his friend list are relative list of whatever he's got.
So to stay within the realms those disability at 3:30 AM I just
responded with a comment “tooooooo early” and turned over and and
hoped I still had enough sleep inertia the slide me back into
unconsciousness when immediately I got another “ping” with a
obvious comment directed at me indicating “it's never too early to
make sure your salvation” that was enough all of a sudden I was
pissed off and all I can think of was putting an end to this then you
have texting. I knew it'd wake me up to a point of possibly not
getting back to sleep but then I didn't care. I actually looked up
the process of “unfriending” a person on your friend list and I
did just that. I wasn't sure what happened when one did that,
unfriended somebody what I was able to notice before falling back
into my pillow was that when you extinguish a friendship it takes off
all of the previous texting sessions and who knows what else which is
okay by me. I was quite surprised that is able to in a minute or so
fall back to sleep for an hour or so which helped me through the rest
of the day.
As I said I don't know what kind of
repercussions I am going to have from this event. I doubt there will
be any actually since I'm no longer “married” to the rest of the
family. I have always thought John an interesting fellow one that
I've enjoyed having in my satellite contacts in my life. John's has
always been mysterious to me In his world travels and dealings. He
settled down now living a quiet life North Carolina in the backwoods
leaving a small quiet life proclaiming the truth and manifesting his
righteousness. Hang in there John their glory awaits you.
