I don’t know how it happened, but
suddenly Google is gone and I’m back to Bing.
My default search engine on my laptop disappeared.
I spent a whole evening fussing and
fuming over this turn of events: After I
clicked to place a blog post on Facebook, both Facebook and Google vanished,
leaving me with a basic Microsoft screen that is virtually useless and, come to
think of it, a disappeared desktop.
For those of you who don’t know what
I’m talking about, sorry. I don’t really
know what I’m talking about, either, except that I am frustrated. Loss of a familiar screen has shaken me.
I guess this is a computer-age
version of circumstances as old as time:
the sudden loss of the familiar.
Or you could say, having control ripped out of one’s hands. The unexpected occurring at the worst
possible moment.
The past week or two God has been
invading my heart with joy. I’ve been
resting in a season of serenity despite unresolved problems on the home front. Perhaps part of my mood is from the oral prednisone
treatment that stopped a major eczema flare in its tracks. Whether supernaturally or medically induced
(or, I suspect, a bit of both), the presence of peace and the absence of pain
is wonderful.
I did not expect a screen change to shake me up. I’ll adjust.
I’ll cope. Maybe I’ll even get my
computer fixed. In the meantime, every
time I flip open my laptop, God’s object lesson will stare me in the face: scenery and circumstances change, but He does
not.
