How do you get a cell phone back from a place that is unreachable? We were visiting a municipal building in a large city when David, our then 15-year-old son, decided to set his phone on top of a 7’ tall decorative structure made with stone. We didn’t know that the structure was completely sealed front and back except for one small opening on top. If our son had been a contestant on “The Price is Right,” he probably would have won the jackpot because the spot he chose to reach up and set his phone was the only place that it could have fallen through. The phone fell to the bottom with a clunk! We didn’t know if it was still in one piece or even if it was working since he had turned it off when we entered the building.
A security officer in the building told me it was gone; there was no way to get it out. But, just to make sure, he sent the maintenance crew to try to fish it out. They worked for over an hour trying different methods, all to no avail. Besides being a very narrow space, there was conduit, flex wire, and layers upon layers of accumulated dust and lint down the shaft.
It was beginning to look impossible, so I prayed. Just kidding! I had been praying all along that they would get it out, but now I asked the Lord specifically what needed to be done.
