Computer Chaos

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. (Psalm 147:3)
Many evenings when JT strolls into the family room, he sees me curled up on the couch, balancing a laptop across my legs, and typing furiously. This familiar scene came to a screeching halt two weeks ago when my laptop died. Perhaps you heard my shrieks, wails, and moans in your neighborhood.
Neither JT nor I was surprised by the loss of the laptop. Over the past few months, the laptop had been waging a strong fight for life but its frozen screens, unchargeable battery, eternal boot up time, and perplexing series of blips, buzzes, and hums indicated the end was near. One afternoon, the laptop went into sleep mode and never awakened. Thankfully I had listened to JT when he advised me to backup my files!
Though I was upset about the laptop’s demise, I think JT was probably more saddened than I was. He knew we’d have to buy another laptop and to make matters worse, in the meantime, he’d have to share the other computer with his wife, a real computer hog. It didn’t take long for JT to decide to order a new laptop for me.
Christmas has come early! The new laptop is here, all the bells and whistles have been installed, and I love it! I’m now blissfully blogging and surfing with satisfaction via my new MacBook Pro. Yet another crisis in the Thorpe household has been averted!
On a much more serious computer note, I’d like you to join me as I pray for a fellow blogger named Jenny. She maintains a FANTASTIC homeschool blog that has been a tremendous source of information to moms homeschooling young children. This week Jenny’s blog was accidentally deleted and she is devastated! Thankfully, she has been able to retrieve the content of her posts via RSS feeds, but it’s going to take her a while to restore the blog. Please keep her in prayer.
