why I answer the phone when it rings.

Actual conversation today: (No, fortunately, I wasn't glassing, but this is an example of why *I* would pick up the phone even if I had been. Then again, my vocation puts some unique demands on my time-- and means that I am essentially "on call" whenever I'm within earshot of my phone(s).)

The phone rings.

The voice on the other end says, "This is Dennis from the hospital. We've got one of your parishioners here."
me: "which one?"
Dennis: "(says name). You might want to hurry."
I drop what I'm doing and drive to the hospital. The fellow dies shortly after my arrival, while I'm there with him and his family, while I'm leading them in prayer around his bedside.
