dad found Jesus in jail while my mom was in residency. they met on a mission trip not long after he got out and then mom worked to put dad through undergrad. he studied agriculture and they did community development work as missionaries in Thailand. now back in the States, my dad is a financial advisor and my mom basically runs the kids programs at their church.
if the text requires more than 3 sentences it’s a voice memo! the efficiency of just getting to speak! the intimacy of sending your voice and the process of gathering your thoughts in real time! the presence of tone and vocal inflection! i actually aspire to only ever communicate via phone calls and voice memos. texting is such a menace in my life.
