Restart

Believe it or not - I failed to follow my 99.9% rule yesterday when I had trouble with my network:  99.9% of all computer issues can be resolved by restarting.  (That and turning off Windows Firewall!)
I'm so glad it was an easy fix!  Now I can do the things I need to do at work.

Wouldn't it be nice if our lives were fixed as quickly as a computer just by restarting?

Although it's not a quick fix but each morning, God gives us another chance to get it right.  It is a pretty good design: 24 hours each day...try again tomorrow.  What will you do with your new day?

Will Advent Help?

As an adult, Christmas has not been my favorite time of year. It seemed to remind me of all I did not have. Somehow I managed to make the best of it and survived. That's just it, I've been surviving the holidays, not enjoying the holidays. I need to do a better job at living Christmas. Raised a Catholic, advent is no stranger to me. Or is it? What does advent mean? What is it to me? Advent is a time for reflection. It is a time to prepare. It is a time for prayer. With my new job, I have more time. I have less stress. What am I doing with this time? Today, I will take a serious look into my advent prayers. Prayers that I've fallen away from. Prayers for peace in our country. Prayers with hope for all good things. Prayers for love. Prayers to renew my faith in a loving God. Dear Jesus, As I enter the advent season, prepare in me a place for you. Use me to be evidence of your life. Use me to help others come to know you. I pray for my children, Derri
