What would it be like if there were no mobile phones on this Holy Saturday?


What would it be like if there were no mobile phones? 
  • What would you do? 
  • How could you live? 
  • Would we have to email from a computer? 
  • Use a telephone box to make calls when we are in the street? 
  • Make use of the telephone at home. Share its use. 
  • Would we have the art of conversation back?
  • A silence from all those ringtones?
Today we are in a state of grief. Similar to how you would feel just after losing the use of a mobile phone.

Our servant king died yesterday.
  • What are we to do? 
  • How shall we continue? 
  • Why couldn't it have been us instead of him?
Joseph of Arimathea, as any friend would do, wrapped the body in fresh linen and laid it in a tomb.

Like so many tragedies there is a sense of loss, a quiet time before we have to pick ourselves up again. Today is that quiet time. It is a time to think about all the 'what ifs'. It is a time to think about 'how I can change'. 

It is simply a time to think!

God, make us think about our actions and how we can change those that need changing.
