Macintosh Blues

So I finally took everyone in the world's advice and bought a Macintosh laptop.  The problem is that I've never known anything other than a PC environment, for 20 years exactly.  I'm having serious adaptation issues; especially with word-processing and email clients.  The mouse/track pad is also more than somewhat aggravating.  I even bought a Micro$oft Office for Mac package to help in the weaning process, but it hasn't been much consolation.  The good things about this Mac is that it doesn't lock up, doesn't bog down, and does what I want when I want.  I can clutter the desktop, clean it up, open as many frivolous programs as I want and it doesn't even blink.  The internet is super fast and doesn't hassle me as I fly in and around several different sites at once.

On a sad note, our support didn't come in as I thought it would this month.  4 supporting churches didn't send anything, and 1 sent less than normal.  When we only have 15 supporting churches, it impacted our income dramatically.

I have several decisions to make regarding a couple meetings.  Also, I need wisdom about where to book meetings next, and for when.  Only God knows what we should do and we've been praying He would let us know what exactly that is.

Perhaps we'll go to a campmeeting starting tomorrow--it would be good to get pumped up and out of the "office" for the weekend.  Perhaps it will be beneficial in planning what avenue to take next.  I was so hoping/praying that our support would indicate which direction we need to take, and perhaps this is the answer--to keep booking and planning meetings, and using the opportunity tomorrow to make some good contacts.
