This one is fresh. Happened just this past week.

We'll call him Jim.

Jim was sitting at his desk when he suddenly felt compelled to call an old friend. We'll call the friend Bob.

They had been in closer contact in the past, but now Jim didn't even have a phone number for this friend Bob.

They were friends on Linked-In, however, so Jim found the company. Called the main line.

Jim worked his way through the company directory. Got a number.

Called it.

"This is Bob."

Gasp.

The gasp was audible on the phone line.

Bob recovered.

"Jim, I wanted to call you last night, but I didn't. I was tired of calling you when I needed you. I was too ashamed to do it again..."

"...But I did ask God to have you call me."
