One Final Word
My dear friend Michele slipped into eternity on Wednesday, February 1. She was a remarkable woman who left a legacy of faith, determination, and love. For three years she courageously battled the ovarian cancer that eventually robbed her of her life. A few days before she died, one of her docto

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated
My husband told me that there are rumors that I've died. I'm happy to report that I'm still very much alive.

An update and a prayer request
Several people have asked about Michele's condition, and have promised to pray for her. On her behalf, I thank you for that. I spoke with her a little while ago, and she asked that I come here and tell you what's going on, and to ask you to pray for her. She isn't able to post here herself right

The peace that passes all understanding, pt. 1
I'm coming out of my normal hiding place to make a few comments.
The internet is a strange place. It is often a wonderful place, a helpful place, a unifying place. But it is also alienating, cold, and is the perfect medium in which to depersonalize others.
Through it, I have seen people reach out

Well this is just OBVIOUSLY George Bush’s fault. I ditched IE for Firefox a couple of years ago.

I had FireFox last year but dropped it because it prevented me from accessing files i needed and kept shutting me down. I’ll stick with IE, thank you. I’ve never had a reason to change.

George Bush thinks the “internets” are a bunch of tubes. And McCain doesn’t even know how to use a computer, so I guess both of them are in the clear on this one.

Thanks for the heads up. I will try to fortify my PCs against this. One more reason to use an Apple – but that begins a whole new “theological” path that is a well rutted road.

I hear you jestrfyl! I’ve used PCs for years, but with problems like this AND the crappy OS updates swarming with bugs…my next desktop will be an Apple.
A laptop is in the very near future, and I’ll be visiting my local Apple store for that too.

For the techy types among you there is a way to use Windows and totally eliminate the malware threat while web surfing. You run your favorite OS and browser inside a virtual machine and web browse inside the VM. Any malware you encounter remains trapped inside the VM’s guest OS and can’t infect the host OS.
There are a number of free VM solutions out there and free OS’s to run in them, or you can run Windows on Windows and pay MS an extra license. The truely paranoid restore a pristine copy of their VM just before their web surfing session so they know it’s clean.
