GOOD MORNING FRIENDS!

Well - this past Saturday night my home computer went into a coma. Of course, Sunday I was busy with church but after I got home from work on Monday I called the 'hospital' and spoke to a 'doctor'. She said she could send me what I needed to help my poor little computer. But - since it was after 5:00 - I wouldn't get the "fix" until Wednesday. However, when I arrived home yesterday (Tuesday) the fix had arrived! YIPPEE!!!! Now I could help my computer. So, I called the doc back and she walked me through everything and, sure enough, my computer came out of its coma!

However, it is still in need of lots of therapy. It is still having trouble moving and can't quite reach that much needed connection to get to the internet. I was on the phone for about three hours last night and was getting very frustrated. I finally just had to go stop and leave it alone. I am going to take off work early today so I can go home and call the doc back and see what kind of physical therapy might help my poor baby. I am praying that it will be something simple that I haven't tried yet and that I can help it to get moving again and also be able to make that much needed connection to reach the internet. In the meantime, I will just have to keep you posted from here (my work computer) or use my Mom's computer at home. I am going to try everything to save my computer but, if I am unsuccessful, I will just have to make the funeral arrangements and be done with it. I do still have the other computer I was using before I got this free one from the phone company so it won't be ALL that bad maybe.

Sooooooooo - I'm sure there are a lot of you that can relate to the frustration I was feeling last night - but I definitely got reminded this morning of how ridiculous I was to allow myself to get so frustrated with it.

Isn't it just like God to do that? As I was driving to work, I came upon a very eye-opening scene - a car had apparently just lost control and overturned on the side of the road. It didn't look like anyone was hurt bad or trapped - it looked like the people in the car were already sitting on the side of the road. True, they looked very dazed and confused but seemed to be alright.

Now, I don't mean that this accident happened just because God wanted to remind me of the important things - I'm not saying that at all - but He DID allow me to leave early enough this morning to see this accident and when I did it made me stop and think........."Here I was getting so upset about my computer last night and what does it really matter? I am okay, He allowed me to wake up again this morning and He has given me safe travel thus far. It's not like I don't have another computer I can use!" WOW! Talk about a wake-up call! I'm praying that the people in that accident ARE okay - though the car (or truck, whatever it was) is NOT! That vehicle can be replaced but what rejoicing that the occupants of it are okay. Just like my computer can be replaced and I need to concentrate on more important things in my life - like spending as much time as I possibly can with HIM!

I have to ask myself when is the last time I ever spent THREE HOURS with HIM in HIS WORD to try and make MY LIFE run better???? Sadly, I don't know that I've EVER spent that much time at once. Yes, this is a wake-up call to me to remember what is important.

Just thought I'd share - didn't mean to be so lengthy :)

Praying you all have a blessed day and rejoice in Him!
