Long Live Email
/A fellow Pastor whose blog I read recently posted this:
...I don't even know how to operate my office phone. So today I noticed a blinking light so I asked our Media Pastor for some tech support because I don't know how to get into my voice mail. Long story short, the message was from June 13. Nice! Thinking about putting a greeting on my voice mail: Leave a message and I'll try to get back to you within four months! If you want to get a hold of me you probably don't want to call. Long live email.
Well, I can totally relate to this! I am so rarely in my office and so rarely able to pick up my cell phone that email is absolutely the BEST way to reach me. I will check and return emails much faster that I will check and return voicemail. Phone is great for emergencies and sensitive conversations. Email is best for all other normal everyday communication. I agree...long live email!
