Cash and dawdling
computers can be as hectic and frustrating as weak coffee. I feel hopeless. Am
I entranced in a trance? Did I eat the wrong thing? I am obsessive with saving some of my dearest
life’s treasures inside the pages of books or neatly folded into little boxes
and then, securing them into a safe place. Never to be found again! Gone! Where’d they go? As I gaze upon our
bookshelves I wonder, what book was it? Better yet, what did I save?
I refuse to
spend the money to get a new computer when this one only takes a couple of hours
to warm up. I can have that cup of weak
coffee while I am waiting, right? Maybe the water was too weak. Maybe the water
was watered down. Hey! We are starting
the day out good! If weak coffee insults your brain cells, I have nothing to
lose.
Outside of
all that, I’ve discovered that everyone is looking for the real deal of a
lifetime to stretch the dollar. This happened to me! One bright sunny dandy day
I was at the right time at the right place! I was ecstatic, this was my day! This was back in the time before people
stopped wearing slips and panty hose. I boldly walked into a factory and bought
12 pairs of panty hose for only a dollar! I was so jubilant I felt the earth had
shifted on its axis. Next Sunday I had
one of my prized panty hose on in church and while shaking hands and smiling; I
felt a pop in the mesh of the hose, then another pop and another then felt the
material widen over my legs. This was a
happy day! What are you going to say in church, but continue to sing; all is
well?
My real deal wasn’t so real after
all.
But isn’t
that the way life is? We think something is real, but we learn that “nothing is
ever as it seems.” That includes the pot
of coffee.
Through it
all:
“For thou wilt light my candle; the
Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.” Ps.18:28
