New Computer

Hello All!

Have you been wondering if I have fallen off the Blogging face of the earth?

No worries, you can't get rid of me that easy. I have been fretting over my laptop being stolen a couple of weeks ago. I have been on the wagon so to speak when it comes to the online world.

It has been a good thing. I believe that all of us could use a hiatus from the keyboard, try it you might like what it does for you... it is good for the mind and the relationships all around us, not mention that carpul tunnel thing.

So, for those of you who were not aware, our church was broken into two Sundays ago and my laptop was one of the items stolen. I was sad when I discovered it gone, but since God is good all the time, the insurance company is paying for a "NEW" computer for the church (and me).

I have been shopping around and getting advice from everyone who is willing to give it. And I have narrowed it down to two machines. both are the same price and will cost less than my original computer. I thought seriously about a MAC, but the cost was twice as much the insurance would pay, so I am staying with a PC. My apologies to all you MAC -ites.

Hopefully by the end of the week I will be telling you the story of my new computer from the actual computer itself. Fortunately for me since Dawn (our secretary) is out of the office today, I get to use her computer.

I still wonder if I will see the old one show up in a pawn shop or if the police will recover it. I would love to get all the old data and files that literally took me over two years to accumulate.

One of the software companies we use called "Covenant Eyes" tells me that if someone logs on to my computer and uses the Internet, they can tell me their "IPA" (Internet Provider Address). In other words, we will know where they logged on at and the cops can make a visit to that location. Fat chance, but you never know what "Big Brother" has to offer.
