Somehow I lost all of my
Sunday devotions from the last year. Actually, they aren’t lost; I somehow
deleted them. When I left for Kenya, I deleted most of my files off of my laptop so that there would be enough memory to hold all the pictures I
was going to take. I thought my devotions were saved on that jump drive which
was clearly marked “devotional blogs”, but I hadn’t updated that jump drive
since August 2014. How is that even possible?
I got a little frustrated,
but quickly remembered that all of those posts were on my blog, on the
internet, where they say things will stay forever, or at least until they
replace the internet with a newer technology (microchips in our brains?).
When I realized all that inspiration
was at my fingertips, a light bulb went on in my head. I could copy them back
into my computer. Luckily I quickly came to my senses. I am not copying them
anywhere. Let the hackers and the thieves do that.
Maybe I’m being
irresponsible, turning my written thoughts loose like that. Maybe someone will
steal them, then shut down my blog site, then compile a book under their own
name and sell many copies and get their own TV show. And some day I will run
across that show while I am channel-surfing and I will think I am losing my
mind because I can swear I have seen somewhere those words they are speaking. Coz,
yea, sure that will happen.
Thanksgiving is a few days away and I want to thank
God right now for giving me the inspirational words that I have shared here.
And if anyone feels compelled to share those words with others, in any form, I
would only ask that if I don’t get the credit, that God does. After all they
were His words and not mine.
