How Did the Devil Get My Cell Phone Number?
Special to the Ledger
By Dr. Janies L.
Snyder
I am not one easily rattled.
When I am rattled, look out for
anything can happen.
For the most part, I try to stay
calm, cool and collected. Then
there are times when I have had
enough and I am not going to
take it anymore.
When I am rattled about some
thing, it is not small or insig
nificant. I can swat pesky little
bugs all of my life and never get
rattled by a bug.
Lately, some things have been
developing “in my world,” that
has me more than a little con
cern. In fact, it is bordering on
the territory of being rattled.
Something needs to be done be
cause if I am rattled in this area,
look out!
I am not sure, if I am just now
noticing it or if it has been here
for a while. When I got my cell
phone, I was under the impres
sion the only people who would
have my cell phone number
would be those I gave it to. I
am not one to give out my cell
phone number to just anybody. If
you have my cell phone number,
you are in a high-level category
ofBFFs.
I believe sincerely that the devil
has hacked into my cell phone,
collected my cell phone number
and is selling my number to the
most despicable people he owns.
Lately, I have been getting
political calls. People trying to
interview me concerning the up
coming election. They want me
to contribute to political polls
being evaluated. They want my
opinion and they have a whole
slew of questions they are going
to be asking me.
I know they do not want my
opinion because all of these calls
are what is called Robo calls.
In other words, is not an actual
person asking these questions,
but rather a machine. If you think
for one moment that I am going
to carry on a conversation with
some machine, you do not have
all your wires connected.
How they get my cell phone
number, is beyond me. It proba
bly is their close connection with
the devil himself.
I have also been getting calls
from some company that feels
I am in some sort of pain. They
call and say I requested on their
website this pain solution. Now,
what they want to know is it my
back pain, or elbow pain, or a
knee pain?
I have been so fed up with these
calls that I finally said, “I do have
a pain in the neck.” To which,
I got an excited reply as to how
they could help my pain in the
neck.
You know what’s coming. I told
them that the pain in my neck
was them calling me and if they
want to help this pain in the neck
go away to stop calling me, for
Pete’s sake.
I just about had it with this. The
question I wrestle with is, should
I he to these people calling me?
For instance. Somebody called
me last week telling me they
noticed a certain virus on my
computer and if I would allow
them access to my computer
they could fix my computer.
Talk about a pain in the neck!
This was about the 15th time
this company called me offering
to fix my computer. So, I thought
if they are going to waste my
time by calling me, maybe I
should waste their time by trying
to get them to fix my computer.
“Oh yes,” I said as excited as
I could sound, “please fix my
computer for me.”
Now they wanted me to turn
my computer on and so forth
and so on. I must confess that at
the time I wasn’t your my com
puter I was on my cell phone.
They gave me instructions and
I obeyed them, or at least I told
him I was obeying him.
“All right,” I said, “My com
puter is on what I do next?” I
will confess to you if you prom
ise not to tell anybody, but I did
not have my computer on.
Then they gave me instruc
tions that I was to go to a certain
website.
“Okay,” I said, “I’m there, what
do I do now?”
They gave me a password I
was supposed to use to get ac
cess to them so they could get
access to my computer.
“Have you done it yet?”
“Yes, I punched it in and what
I do next?”
“Something’s wrong,” the per
son at the other end of the phone
said. “You must not have put in
the right password. Let me give
it to you again.”
He gave it to me again, which
in turn I gave it back to him,
again.
This went on for about 20 min
utes and the person on the other
end of my cell phone was getting
very frustrated and borderline
anger. I, on the other end of the
cell phone, could hardly control
my laughter.
By the time he hung up, he was
very frustrated and could not un
derstand why it was not working.
After this person hung up on
me and I quit laughing, I thought
of what David said. “Give them
according to their deeds, and
according to the wickedness of
their endeavours: give them after
the work of their hands; render
to them their desert” (Psalms
28:4).
Sometimes giving back what
you get can bring you to a cer
tain level of joy you did not have
before.

From The Bible
By Jerry Kingery
David’s kingdom ex
pands
Then came all the
tribes of Israel to David
unto Hebron, and spake,
saying, Behold, we are
thy bone and thy flesh.
Also in time past, when
Saul was king over us,
thou wast he that leddest
out and broughtest in Is
rael: and the LORD said
to thee, Thou shalt feed
my people Israel, and
thou shalt be a captain
over Israel. So all the el
ders of Israel came to the
king to Hebron; and king
David made a league with
them in Hebron before
the LORD: and they
anointed David king over
Israel. David was thirty
years old when he began
to reign, and he reigned
forty years. In Hebron he
reigned over Judah seven
years and six months: and
in Jerusalem he reigned
thirty and three years
over all Israel and Judah.
And Hiram king of
Tyre sent messengers to
David, and cedar trees,
and carpenters, and
masons: and they built
David an house. And
David perceived that the
LORD had established
him king over Israel, and
that he had exalted his
kingdom for his people
Israel’s sake. ...
But when the Philis
tines heard that they had
anointed David king over
Israel, all the Philistines
came up to seek David;
and David heard of it, and
went down to the hold.
The Philistines also came
and spread themselves in
the valley of Rephaim.
And David enquired of
the LORD, saying, Shall
I go up to the Philistines?
wilt thou deliver them
into mine hand? And the
LORD said unto David,
Go up: for I will doubt
less deliver the Philistines
into thine hand. And
David came to Baalper-
azim, and David smote
them there, and said,
The LORD hath broken
forth upon mine enemies
before me, as the breach
of waters. Therefore he
called the name of that
place Baalperazim. And
there they left their im
ages, and David and his
men burned them. And
the Philistines came up
yet again, and spread
themselves in the valley
of Rephaim. And when
David enquired of the
LORD, he said, Thou
shalt not go up; but fetch
a compass behind them,
and come upon them
over against the mulberry
trees. And let it be, when
thou hearest the sound of
a going in the tops of the
mulberry trees, that then
thou shalt bestir thyself:
for then shall the LORD
go out before thee, to
smite the host of the
Philistines. And David
did so, as the LORD had
commanded him; and
smote the Philistines
from Geba until thou
come to Gazer.
from 2 Samuel 5
