Where Laptops Go To Die

The answer to the title of my blog is...INTO MY POSSESSION!!!!

I currently own 2 laptops. Both of them are very valuable paper weights. The first one was fixed by my good friend Chuck. It was dead, and he revivied it. This becomes important later.

For my new teaching job, I went out and brought a brand new laptop. I had it about 3 weeks. Then, it stopped loading. I bought the new warranty for it ( the extra one) and took it back to Best Buy. I recieved a call later that week and they told me my laptop had ants. I thought this was a new bug or virus. The Geek Squad told me this was not a virus. My computer became a nesting pad for a beautiful family of 500 ants. So I went back to the afore mentioned laptop that my friend fixed.

This laptop worked great...for 2 weeks. You see, I have 2 wonderful blessings in my house. My wonderful son, Devin, and my adorable weiner dog Oscar Mateo (went away from the mayer middle name and chose a name from the movie Anaconda). One of these 2 blessings, and by the bite marks it looks like it was my son, chewed through the power cable ( unplugged) leaving me again laptopless.

I do have a home computer. It works great, only we have no home internet. You see, my wife and I decided that home internet as not a luxury we needed. We are part of a church plant. Even though everyone else planting with us is raising support, I decided to use the gifts that God gave me and got a job teaching at a Christian school. As a youth pastor it kept me plugged in with teens and gave me daily practice sharing the gospel. I took the money I would spend on cable and internet and going out to eat to help a friend who is doing ministry. It is a sarifice that, while difficult, is well worth while and I feel that God is blessing Sue and I.

Continue to pray for Sue and I as we journey with our friends in this church plant.
