I saw Facebook posts by him last night and this afternoon, but we haven't been able to connect since Sunday morning (during Sunday School, while I was manning the Children's reception desk, but I WAS chatting with a missionary on the field, now, wasn't I?)
With technology, distance is skewed. Even though we were using the written word to communicate Sunday morning, it was a real conversation. Many long years ago, the summers when we were in college, we exchanged letters (which I still have by the way!) but they weren't really conversations. They were narratives. I told him what I was doing, how I was feeling, how much I missed him..... He told me about his job, trips he was planning, how much he missed me....

Hmmm.....Where was I?
I think I got lost somewhere between here and there.
There was a point to all this, but what it was escapes me now. Maybe that is the point. With him so far away, I feel . . . That's just it. . . I don't know exactly what it is that I'm feeling or thinking. It's as if the North Pole has disappeared, and my compass is just drifting around.
note: it just proves how drifting I was when I wrote this that I let the phrase "I have saw" appear in public. Thankfully, I saw it today (4/12) and fixed it. *shudder*
