Today Sistertech remembers Agnes of Rome, who was martyred around 304. Agnes has been a role model for Sistertech. She reminds me that age is not a impediment to standing up for what one believes in and for being able to make difficult choices.

Sistertech had a client a few days ago who was having trouble with her wireless keyboard and mouse. It was a Logitech Cordless Desktop LX 710 Laser. Usually they’re pretty stable. Poor thing. I have observed first hand how volatile humans are when their computers and peripherals fail them. Have you ever heard such language? [...]

“Bringing in the sheaves. Bringing in the sheaves. We will come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.” Just one of the many hymns and religious songs that draw upon Ps. 126. Ps. 126 1When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. 2Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our [...]

Just got off the phone with panicked client. Seems slew of dastardly viruses have infected his hard drive. He’s in pretty bad shape. So is his laptop. Not much Sistertech could do by phone but offer what little reassurance I could. My advice to others? There are two key lines of defense. First, take a [...]

We know that death is not the end of life. It is, for many computers and peripherals, only the beginning of that new life which has been preordained for them. Still, delivering the news to the owners of deceased devices can be tricky. Owners go through the typical stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally, [...]

Another psalm with the “crazy busy” To Do List of The One In Charge. Sistertech finds the fourth verse a bit sobering for her clients. But at least the other verses should give them a bit of encouragement. Ps. 146:4-9 4When their breath departs, they return to the earth; on that very day their plans [...]

This one’s a real gem. Psalm 23. It’s on my top 10 list. For Monday, January 18, 2010 1The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; 3 he restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his [...]

Sistertech could not agree more with the gal over at the blog Twinklefingers. She’s got it absolutely right. The One In Charge created time and the seasons for a reason. Of course, now that I’m stationed in California, one can forgive the last of sensitivity some people have for these matters.

Another favorite Psalm of Sistertech’s. (I’ve been lucking out lately!) Steadfastness is one of those key attributes, don’t you think? Not only is The One In Charge steadfast, but we have our end to hold up as well. We, too, must be steadfast. 5Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the [...]

There’s a lot we can learn from the blues. “You Gotta Move” is a perfect example: You got to move, you got to move, you got to move child, you got to move But when the Lord gets ready, you got to move You may be high, you may be low You may be rich, [...]
