Ahh the joys of the computer age.
New notebook computer only 6 months old and the hard drive crashes.
Every paper, sermon series and documents worked on are gone. Photographs lost.
Hours spent on the phone with people across the globe in a foreign land tring to get the problem fixed. Language barrier problems, shipping, receiving..... Frustration.... Disappointment....
Then there is the bright side...
You get to totally reprogram the new one... My son gave me this little wallet sized external hard drive for Christmas. I plugged it in to my computer while I was in Israel just in case I needed more memory for my pictures. When I got my replacement notebook I plugged it into it to see if it was compatable and still working. It was full of my pictures as it had backed up the files automatically when plugged in...
The benefits of saving things........ Hmm.... there may be a sermon in there...
VBS at LBC is over now let the clean up begin.
Saddle Ridge Ranch was the theme of our VBS this year. We had about 35 people participate in VBS. All week we had cowboys and cowgirls, haybales and horsehoes scattered about LBC. Great activities and snacks. Where else can you get haybales and cowpies put on your plate and be excited about eating them. Friday night was family night VBS Graduation complete with the final series of songs and videos ending with a BBQ supper for all. VBS is a very important outreach opportunity. Over 85% of young people who confess Christ today are said to have gotten saved as a result of VBS activities. Thats why it is worth doing and doing well. For most it is the biggest evangelistic thing done all year. It gives you an opportunity to expose folks, who would not normally come to church, to the Gospel. So get your cowboy on and have a VBS before the summer ends.
