Since each of these reasons is logically discrete, we will treat them in random order. First of all, if your church doesn t have a phone, get one. Teenagers have them growing out of their ears. Driving schools now teach one handed driving, because the other hand is irrevocably committed to the cell phone. It is so cheap to talk long distance now that nobody speaks to their next door neighbors anymore.
Children call down stairs to their mother to determine the dinner menu.
Without a phone you don t exist. Get a phone. That is the easy part. The next step is so obvious many churches miss it. Right, an answering machine.
