“Excuse me?” she responded.
“I’m guessing that you forgot to give me the area code.”
“The what?”
“The first three digits of a phone number.”
“Oh! The area code! No, don’t worry about that.”
“huh?”
Apparently, in small town Illinois area codes are unnecessary. I had no idea that there were places in the world where that didn’t require the area code before a phone number.
I LOVED my summer spending time with my church family. They have embraced me with open arms. They have asked me to preach for them on September 26th! We had a Sunday evening outdoor worship service at a nearby Scout Camp last weekend. My men’s small group will start up again soon and before I know it our big church picnic will be happening! Making this my church home has been a blessing beyond anything I expected!
