New Phone

It's here - I finally got an iPhone! What a way to begin spring break.

I'm having fun downloading apps and learning where everything is. It's also much bigger than my old phone, which is nice when calling or reading email, but it's a little large to fit in a pocket. I can text on the iPhone much easier than on the old phone, and you can make the screen bigger or smaller just by sliding your fingers across it. And the camera is much better than the one on my old phone. When I think back to the phones we had while I was growing up, it amazes me to think of the changes that have occurred in the last number of years.

But, as I sat playing with my new phone last Friday morning, I felt kind of sorry for my old phone. After all, it had served me well for over two years. I remember how excited I was when I first got it - it was the first phone I had that gave me internet access and I took it everywhere. Now it was being discarded for something new and better.

And it reminded me of something I'd seen recently ... a story of an old lamp.
