All is Well
I lost my Internet connection.
The cable people had all sorts of excuses why they would be slow in getting to me. I didn't buy any of them until the person on the other end of my phone call suggested immediate service is available to commercial customers only and he'd be happy to transfer me to the sales department. I understood that excuse.
I could see help was not on the way and I let the stress build as I continued throughout the day to turn off the computer, turn off the router, turn off the modem and then turn them on again in reverse order. After ten hours (between meetings) of this frustration, I fumed at the master of the negative forces for bringing me down, remembered the good old days when we just kicked the machine if it didn't work, and sat down in my chair and asked God to bring back my Internet connection.
Two more tries at connection and it happened!! It had taken ten hours, but I was so thankful to be able to work late into the night collecting the resource applications arriving by email and processing them. Then I tackled the website message board deleting the inappropriate posts one at a time since my message board is so old and so basic it doesn't have any kind of programming capabilities for accelerating the process.
This morning the cable technician finally arrived. He and his handy meter checked out my modem and pronounced everything A-OK!! He tells me I have no problem, nothing is wrong. I have visions of being without access to the Internet and email over the weekend when I cannot call a technician.
I had already forgotten God had fixed things for me.
Losing my Internet connection may be a big deal, but it is nothing compared to my connection to the main man. Thank you, Lord, for helping me and even more, for putting up with me.

Life is so full of hiccups, but in the end, all is well thanks to The Heavenly Father and his assistance. I am heavily involved in the organization and coordination of the local resource fair. Between the website maintenance and coordinating fair activities, my computer and Internet connectivity is a vital link for continuing progress. Take away my car and there's no problem as long as I can move files and folders via email. Take away my phone and there's no problem since it doesn't move files and folders anyway. Only loss of the Internet connectivity brings coordination of tasks to a halt.
