Dear God in Heaven…my precious pink Dell quite suddenly blared out a fearfully awful racket similar to an atomic cricket. I choked on my cereal bar, frantically pounded on the power button, and prayed. Fortunately it turned off!
I stared at a black void and prayed again. I prayed some more as visions of all that computer contained: my books, blogs, and bitty-tiny bank accounts slugged through my clammy and trembling mind. I offered yet another prayer but not to the technology god. No, not this time. This prayer was sent to My Real God.
After the shaking stopped I took in a couragous breath and gently pushed the power button. Mr. Windows advertising never looked so sweet. My desktop photo of my beloved giraffs danced across the access to my writing world. I love giraffs, ugly but graceful like my precious pink laptop. Prayers are answered.
