Three pounds lighter, and looking sharp
Something great happened today. The notebook computer my boss sent me came via FedEx. It’s a Sharp Widenote M4000, and it’s working very nicely. I spent the day getting her set up. My old notebook is a tank (6 lbs. compared to a sleek 3.7 lbs.) and was giving me problems when using the wifi. I tend to travel a lot, so the hassle factor was quickly increasing. I pointed him to this machine which was on an Ebay auction, and he was able to snag it for just over 6 bills. It’s used, but outwardly, I couldn’t tell. Inwardly, I naturally installed Ubuntu.
For me, this draws an interesting parallel to how God sees and works on us. He’s less concerned about the hardware (our body), after all, he was the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and he did a really good job (just ask my wife or any nurse or doctor), but he’s more concerned about reloading our software which has become corrupted through sin. I think there are a lot of euphemisms I could draw from this concept. Just need some time to ponder and expand a bit.
