Prayer Hammock

Why is it so difficult for me to update my blog these days? I guess I am just lacking discipline. Hard to say. I am having computer problems... it freezes about 20 times a day and I am frustrated by that. I am replacing the power pack and hope to resolve the problem. Yesterday I took it all apart. Then went out and bought a new power pack. I got it all screwed in, when I went to plug it in... discovered it was a 24 pin model and mine is a 20 pin model. Moral of the story... check out all details before buying a part for your computer! So I had to unscrew it all, reinstall the old unit and plug everything back in. Now guess what? I am actually working for one hour without a freeze up. Miracle! Could it be that things just weren't plugged in properly? Wait and see, right?
I am also trying to not spend so much time on the computer. I think it is not a healthy life style to be so sedentary. In addition I noticed since I installed my computer, I am neglecting other aspects of my life (like cleaning the house). Gotta admit, it's more fun reading e-mail than mopping the floor.
One thing I am enjoying is my hammock. It is just off my bedroom. The afternoon sun hits hard, but the mornings are just perfect. I take my Bible and my tea and lose track of time. I jokingly call it my prayer hammock. Sometimes it is my sleep hammock, however! It is a blessing for me to slow down the pace and just read the Bible and pray. I confess I don't make it there every day, but that is my goal. And look at my view! Isn't it an inspiration? Yes the photo is cockeyed. That's because I was swinging in the hammock. I wanted you to get the sensation of movement I feel.
I am still working on getting the apartment to feel more homey. Gradually things are falling into the place. I have hung a few pictures and that really helps. The window treatments arrive this week and that will be another step. I got a few pillows for my couch. It's those little things that make a difference. It actually feels like home right now. I just want it to look that way.
I enjoyed my little visit with you. Hope you also find time for your "prayer hammock" wherever that might be in your little corner of the world.
