I was meditating this evening on Psalm 41. It reminds me of the hard work computer and network technicians do in their ministries. Blessed is the one who considers the poor! In the day of trouble The One In Charge delivers him; The One In Charge protects him and keeps him alive; he is called [...]

Dear Sistertech, I’m a new sysadmin for [company name redacted]. This is my first time conducting major updates across our network.
