  Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me. Psalm 66:16 NIV   Brrrriiiiinnngggg! The shrill of the phone interrupts the race across the keyboard as my fingers pour out thoughts.  “Hello,” I say in my nicest “you’ve-just-messed-up-my-thought-process” voice.  “Mrs., umm- Hatcher?” A telemarketer.  I know…
