No Overload

The Internet is bogged down this afternoon. Many sites are slow, and some cannot be reached at all. There is a flood of media coverage of the Michael Jackson memorial service, and a tsunami of comments on the social networks (or so I'm told). I've even had difficulty accessing my Blogger account! The 'net is overloaded.

Years ago, before we communicated so much online, we used the telephone more. We sang an old song about always being able to make our connection through "The Royal Telephone."

Central’s never “busy,” always on the line;
You may hear from Heaven almost any time;
’Tis a royal service, free for one and all;
When you get in trouble, give this royal line a call.

Refrain
Telephone to glory, O what joy divine!
I can feel the current moving on the line,
Built by God the Father for His loved and own,
We may talk to Jesus thru this royal telephone.

There will be no charges, telephone is free,
It was built for service, just for you and me;
There will be no waiting on this royal line,
Telephone to glory always answers just in time.
--Frederick M. Lehman, 1919

This line never gets overloaded. Aren't you glad!
