well... The other day my laptop Internet connection died. After over 12 hours of intense work to the far reaches of computing, I still haven't found the problem. However, it was fun setting up a little network in my house. I connected my Windows XP laptop to my old Linux laptop. Then I connected the two to a FreeBSD computer somewhere in TN. Then one of my tech friends in a different town connected his computer to the FreeBSD computer to connect to my Linux laptop to get to my Windows XP laptop. Then he could see my screen and we could try to troubleshoot together. It was fun and frustrating at the same time. But it is cool that I am getting better at command line and manually setting TCP/IP and stuff like that. Long story short, we are still not sure what is wrong with it, so I ordered a USB wireless adapter. I hope that works! If not, i will have to completely reinstall the whole operating system, programs, and restore my documents.
and then, to make things interesting, my phone died completely. So I lost about 150 numbers. I went to the Sprint store and had to get a new phone. So now I am working on trying to rebuild my phonebook....
anyways. after all of this, i was realizing that much of my life and communication is wrapped up in technology. At times it can seem like a big deal to me is that stuff doesn't work. But what really matters is communication with the one true Source. I often get caught up in the day to day grind. But lurches in the routine give an opportunity to readjust my focus. A little thought that comes to mind on occasion came up again today. Life is meant to be more than this. And when and where God calls me, I want to serve with mission work or something. I need to make it a daily goal to listen to Him and He will lead the way.

Wow, sounds like you have been having quite a time with all the electronics! That's amazing what you are doing trying to figure out your computer. :D You are so smart! I wouldn't have had an idea what to do! I really appreciate the lesson that you have at the end, too girl! God has a plan for you, and in His time, He will let you know where He wants you to go. Don't forget that you are in a mission field right where you are. I'm sure you are serving Him right at home! Love you, girl! God bless you.
Oh Jen, I think that our computers have been talking and the readjustment for me has likewise been a blessing... now the trick is to not forget the lesson learned by the chiropractic work as currently I am technologically afloat.
P.S. have you ever considered being a ceiling painter????
Dearest Jennie Sue,
