Can you believe it's already November 20th?? Thanksgiving is just a few days away and I haven't run out of thanks yet!
Today I am thankful for modern technology.
We learned, via email, on Tuesday that Elder Becton was in the hospital and not doing well. Wednesday morning we learned of his passing. Wednesday night Les got online and made plans to fly to Dallas. Friday morning Les flew to Dallas to honor his former pastor and will fly home later today. Thursday morning Les received an email from his parents stating that they would be flying from Atlanta to Dallas to attend the funeral. With just a phone call, plans were made to meet at the airport and attend together. I was able to track his flight as it departed and arrived, knowing he got there safely. We've stayed in touch via telephone and email (on our iPhones) while Les has been gone.
None of those things could have taken place 100 years ago. IF somehow we received word of Bro. Becton's passing, via telegram or maybe the neighbor's telephone, the chances of owning a vehicle that could travel the nearly 1500 miles in a couple days time would have been slim to none!
I know technology can be a headache at times, but I'm thankful for it today!
