Surrounded By Zombies

That's how I felt the other day at Target. Probably half of the people I saw were either talking on the phone or texting while wandering aimlessly through the aisles. Seeing this sort of heightened level of unconsciousness all around me was unnerving and weird.

Then the Ensign came, and an Elder Whiting had something to say about this too. He is particularly concerned with the difficulty in hearing God speak to you while you're talking on the phone during every waking moment.

I agree with him. Shouldn't there be at least a little time during the day when our world is quiet enough to hear the still, small voice of God?

  1. It's good to know I'm not the only one appalled by how many people have their phone permanently attached to their ear.

    And I agree; it's only in those quiet moments that I'm really able to reflect and make any necessary course corrections in my life.

  2. I was just talking with my Dad about this! Remember when we used to walk around without being on the phone? Those were good times.
