Last night I had a catastrophe. I plugged in my computer and started writing about the events of the day. We had seen and learned so much on Thursday that it took me a couple of hours to recount the events of the day and condense it to the blog.
When I finally got ready to post The Epistle According to St. Fred my computer locked up. I tried every possible solution, all to no avail. Disheartened, I turned off the computer and went to bed.
This morning (Friday) I thought maybe I could do another post so I booted up the computer. All I got was a flashing cursor. I tried it again - same result. All I could conclude was that there was a spark of static electricity as I plugged in my computer and it must have fried the hard drive.
Dejected, I left this morning with the rest of the group figuring out that I would have to abandon the blog or maybe be able to write something from the hotel business center each night. While not ideal, at least it would allow me to post something saying that the blog wasn't going to be updated daily.
Tonight we returned to the hotel about 6 pm. We had a couple of hours to rest before dinner so I thought I would try my computer again.
I couldn't believe it. It was the first miracle we have encountered in Gallilee! My computer booted up, gave me more than a cursor and seems to be operating as if nothing had happened.
I'll eventually get to the events of yesterday and today, but for now I want to post this and see if everything is actually working. If so, I'll get to the update on all the tremendous events of the last couple of days.
Hope you're all enjoying this. The trip has been great and it's fun to share it with the folks back at home.
Shalom.
