After a busier that usual week I had hoped to return today with a new reflection on the discipline of Lent. However, just as I was getting started writing (Marco Frisbee will love this) the water heater--in the attic no less--sprung a leak. There's nothing more distracting than a water leak in the attic at 9 p.m. on Sunday.
I will be back this week--I promise--with new reflections. It's funny because one of the topics that was on my mind was patience. I've gone through my life thinking that I've learned a tremendous amont of patience, and funny enough it's being tried (tempted?) by Mircosoft on one side and Sears on the other. What's next? Looks like what I need is a "clean install." Now, there's a new way to think of Lent--time to unintall the system and fix all the leaks (spirtually speaking of course).
So, I'll be back soon enough. Please pray that the black tape holds.
lucky thing you had black tape on hand. Now what, pray tell is the black tape that will hold us together while we check our spiritual leaks?

I sympathize. There have been leaks -- floods -- in the basement, one of which was the water heater's entire contents, all while futzing about our 5th child, the computer, with all its childhood diseases and crashes.. it makes one long for tipi living.
You'll not soon forget this winter, huh? Hope it all resolves soon.
A clean install for Lent.. I like it!

:) Now that's what St. Francis would call a homeowner's version of "perfect joy." What a way to start Lent, with water and with fire (from a blowtorch)!
I hope all gets better for you from there. Be sure to "format" the drive before you do that clean install!
