Miracles!

So you may recall from my last blog post I was having some computer/printer problems (see previous post). These problems came at an especially inopportune time because I had an insane amount of work that night and the 2 hours I spent going to pick up the printer at the ASB building and then trying to get it set up was no help getting the work load done. I was up quite late, or shall I say early, finishing all my work. That night in my prayers I asked if He wasn't too busy, maybe I could get some help getting my printer fixed...

The next day after most of my classes I had to finish an essay for a class I had later. When I finished my essay I thought..."What the hey! I'll just try my printer. Maybe it just needed a night to acclimate to Idaho." I turned it on, plugged it in to my computer and lo and behold it starts printing the page that I had tried to print yesterday...I actually had tears of joy in my eyes. Then I printed the essay I needed for that day and out with the essay paper came a little sliver of styrofoam popcorn that was apparently lodged in there somewhere. When I was on the phone with dad I NEVER would have been able to find it...

So coincedentally, only after I said the prayer the very next time I used my printer, out came the pesky styrofoam that had caused all my problems. Funny Huh?

Moral of the story: say your prayers and don't use styrofoam popcorn to ship a printer.

i like all your lessons. they feel good in my brain. and i'm very proud of this new surge in blogging too.

if you ever have printer problems again, just give me a call. first thing i always tell people is to scan the machine for peanuts.

We have high hopes for you Kristie and know you'll come out on top. Good for you gor getting the printer to work. Of course, when I was in college, all we had was typewriters and they were pretty basic, so anybody who can use a computer is a genius in my book. We love reading everybody's blogs, so keep posting when you can.
