This is the iMac the day it died. It had been sitting there for about an hour when I finally got impatient enough to manually turn the thing off. Before I pressed and held the power button, I snapped that picture. No spinning thingy under the apple. At least it was a pretty screen of death. with a pretty apple.
Our situation has improved by only a slight step forward… more of a slight hop to center one’s gravity, like the gymnasts when they don’t quite land perfectly balanced and have to quicky compensate for their off-balance condition or fall flat on their face or toosh. The good news is that the iMac is running. I’m using it to make this post. The bad news is that it is still BROKEN on its own. We’re using the LaCie external hard drive as a crutch. A very nice crutch, but still not a permanent solution to our situation.
So… what’s going on in our lives? Mainly, the 40 Days of Purpose study. Oh, that reminds me to read my daily chapter. We’re hosting a group and, although it is small, we feel God’s got a reason for every person being in it.
For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God has prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10
If you have the opportunity and curiosity about the study, pick up a book and start reading. It will make you think.
Tomorrow David plays at church. Apparently, the service will be very music-intensive. He was at rehearsal until very late on Wednesday night, but he got to burn some CDs so he had a good time. David is very curious about the sound board and has talked to the right people about it and is praying for an opportunity to learn more about it all. He has told me many times that he loves anything electronic with buttons and knobs and the sound booth at church has all of those!
A big thanks to the Millers for letting us chill at their pad this afternoon and evening. We watched Star Wars Episode IV, played some Burn Out 3, caught the Saturday version of The Apprentice, and ate some yummy dinner. All the while snuggled up with The Professor. Thanks again, Mark and Becky! You guys ROCK. I like that.
