3. End your conversation with, "I have to go. I have some friends here waiting on me"

Discussion

Applications
Talking to God (prayer) is different than talking on a mobile phone.
When talking to God:
1. God is never out of range.
2. We never "lose the signal"
3. The battery never runs dead
4. We never run out of minutes
5. We don't have to remember his number.. just talk!
