iona's blog

It's a journal. It's a devotional. It's a record of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor. It's documentation of God's activities in real time. There are good days and bad, happy times and sad... I tell it like it is. This is an unscripted walk along the meandering paths of my mind. My life has never been dull... and I've never known boredom. Read on, you'll see...

I am a happily married mother and grandmother of a large family. I've also had several careers including writer, teacher, trucker, investment and finance advisor, web master and artist. I am an ordained minister (not to the pulpit) and consider my calling to Christ's service my most important role in life.

The Computer Age

I just spent half an hour writing a blog that I lost due to computer craziness. Who knows why, but my laptop decided to restart itself. Now I find I can't play along with "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" on GSN.com.

Life is like that. Sometimes our efforts reap no rewards and seem totally wasted. Other times we expect something good, anticipating the enjoyment of it only to have it all come to naught... taken from us for no apparent reason. Bummer!

I did get a chance to chat online with Pastor Rob and two other friends. I don't understand chat much. I'm not sure if I can type when it says they are typing? I'll have to ask about that. I tried initiating a chat but must not have done it right.

I am amazed at how much of my time and my "to do" list is dominated by the computer. It was once thought the computer would free up so much time we would become a paperless society with more spare time than we would know what to do with, but I think the opposite has happened!

Yet, I love my computer, even when it frustrates me, and the computer has given many of us a wonderful outreach ministry for Christ as well as a great way to make new friends. Without debating the pros and cons, I will simply say, "thank You, Lord, for placing me on this earth during the computer age."
