Posted - Sep 16 2011 : 4:40:12 PM I have a wonderful friend who lives just a few miles out of Moscow, ID.... we have our daily morning e-chats and phone calls when only a voice will suffice.... My cell was ringing & I debated whether to answer it. The call was from Juli, she is one of my dearest friends and "Glamping partner in Crime"... I had just arrived home & was putting the sacks away when my phone rang..I am so glad I answered the phone. It was Juli, with sad news that a very dear & old friend of hers had passed away... we chatted a bit and after we hung up, I thought how glad I was that I took the time to answer the phone rather then let it go to voice mail, as I often do when I am busy. If for only that moment, she was able to talk, share with me. I had the good fortune to meet the elderly gentleman who had passed away today, and I know how important he was in Juli's life. I am so glad that I answered,,, 'When a friend calls'.... Now to wrap them both in heartfelt prayers.

Every since I heard this song and watched this video -- I answer the phone. If I get a gut feeling to call someone just because... I do.

Posted - Sep 17 2011 : 05:24:40 AM Nice little reminder, Grace. You are right, with all the electronic hook ups we have it is so nice to actually "talk" to someone.

Posted - Sep 16 2011 : 7:38:38 PM There is nothing like actually talking to someone to make my day! I just love my frequent, almost daily, chats with my daughter. You can HEAR things in voices that you can't in emails or texts. Just recently I called a farmgirl friend who is having some difficulties . . . it was uplifting to actually talk with her. Yes, "when a friend calls" . . . important times! Thanks Grace! CJ

Posted - Sep 16 2011 : 6:47:13 PM Wow Grace. You sure made me think. I do the same thing sometimes. Even to my husband. He's a truck driver and gets pretty lonely out there. But sometimes I am busy or missed the call. So thanks for putting this out there. I needed it. I will be thinking about your friend too. You did the right thing.
