My computer has been on the way out for the last few days. I have been frustrated with it, as I can typically always figure out what is going on and fix it. This time however, it has continually been very difficult for me keep it running. It may shut off at any time for no apparent reason. It may or may not reboot for me. I have taken it apart, grabbed parts from other pieces and stuck them in..I have done everything I can think of.
I have never been trained to work on computers, but that has never stopped me from doing it. We have only ever bought one computer new, that was in 1997 or maybe 1996. Too long ago for me to remember. Since that time I have been given computers...found computers on my adventures in dumpster diving...and bought a few used ones at the hospital for $50.00. I have always been able to get them running, to add memory, modems,programs, DSL components.... and then use them like nothing was ever wrong. Nothing would stop me from giving it my best try to get it going, and rarely was I not able to do it. I have even gotten to the point of fixing my friends computers and giving advice to others on how to fix theirs.
The past few days however, the computer has gotten the best of me. I was getting to the point of giving up, and even entertaining the idea of purchasing a brand new one! I came home from church and decided to give it one last try! I actually read something about what to do this time. I have never taken the time to do this before. I rely upon my own abilities and past experiences to take care of things with the computers. It is amazing when we go to a owners manual, and get the directions straight from it how much easier it makes things!
As I was messing around with the computer some more, I thought about our Sunday school lesson today~ I thought about what our pastor said about being "plugged in". I though about what he said on not only showing or appearing as we "should", but learning it, living it, knowing it in our heart and displaying in our lifestyle. God gave us His word. He has told us what to do and how, yet many times we try to figure it out and do it all on our own. (like me and the computers) We ignore the very thing that would make our life easiest to get through. Why do we do this? What is even dumber than doing is, is the fact that when we do read the manual and follow it, our life has peace and is so much easier....and we know it, yet we don't do it! As our pastor also said today, Do what you know is right. You will be challenged by others to do what they say instead of what you know to be true. This is a tool of Satan, to lurk about and cause doubt in your mind. He tries to make reality appear different than it is.
ok, ok...I am getting off on a tangent here! The point is, I have been working on computers for ten years now. It has "worked" for me at times in the past....Not following the manual, will not always work though. It becomes a guessing game. If you are not positive of what to do, you may try anything to get the results you want. Some of it may work....... for awhile.........
But why do this, when you have the life source so readily available to you?
