Frustrations
You know I said I believe in entropy?
Well, the car is in the garage with the cylinder head gasket keeping it off the road. And the mechanic who is always so efficient and helpful went down with a serious health problem the day I took it in and is on very light duties.
The computer screen has just malfunctioned and I am helpfully informed that, under warranty, I will get a replacement in no less than five days. The fact that I rely on the computer for my work changes things not a jot. So I am writing this from my father’s house; please expect little in the way of online labour for a few days.
I am going home from this borrowed computer, joyfully anticipating the plumes of smoke I am likely to see as the house returns to dust and ashes.
Then, I looked in the mirror again this morning. That news gets no better.
And, God is in his heaven, and he is my Father and I am his child, and all this is his perfect and righteous plan, and I lack nothing truly needful, and I am learning to be content.
Do you ever wonder how a frustrating day in Spurgeon’s life would compare? Horsepower issues? Writing paper fell into the bathwater?

Not when I was this frustrated! Too much to do digging myself out of holes resulting from excessive reliance on electronica.

I did wonder about your earlier post and what you meant by that. Thanks for clarifying it! :D
I’d lend you a spare laptop, but that would be an expensive delivery. :D BTW if you do get a new computer, consider the Mac. Or if you do get a pc, consider Ubuntu (which is free) rather than installing Windows (which you’d have to pay and extremely slow!). Huge improvement in either case!
