Recently I've received emails from high school classmates reminiscing about the "good old days." I've also seen similar posts on Facebook with pictures questioning if I remember certain devices and how we used them. Yes, in case you're wondering, I do know how to use a dial telephone and I know what a 'church key' was for. However today I realized that there are a lot of things to celebrate about the Good New Days. For example, this morning my spouse and I chose to stay home and attend church on line. It was a very cold morning. The service was lovely, the sermon was excellent, and we even had our choice of wine for communion. I don't do couch church every Sunday, but it's a nice option to have available. Later in the day when we had to go out, we enjoyed the luxury of seat heaters in our car. My father's Chevy never had those, let alone my grandpa's one-horse power surrey. Can you imagine what a cold ride that must have been? Just writing this on my laptop I remember the frustration of learning to type using carbon paper to make copies. There's a reason I never became a secretary. One more example - on Tuesday evening I will be attending a committee meeting by Zoom. Now there is an excellent modern invention. We all agreed it would be more convenient that way. Yes! Let's hear it for the good new days.
