I Love Technology and boats

So, it's been quite a week of mishaps and technical difficulties. Seriously, one thing after another has gone wrong, broken, crashed, flooded, fused or stopped working.

1. My hard drive crashed
2. My office lights mysteriously stopped working
   
3. The motherboard on the church's light board crashed, rebooted, crashed again, rebooted again then crashed.

• this happened late Saturday night before service on Sunday morning.
  

4.  A lamp in one of our projectors fused itself to the connector emitting a plume of smoke and electrical burning

• this happened late Saturday night before service on Sunday morning.

5. By the time we realized what was happening the entire hull of the boat was flooded and the motor was pumping water into the boat faster than the bilge pumps could pump it out.

All of that happening right before Easter, the biggest service of the year.

I think God's gifted me to be able to stay calm when things get really stressful. I'm certain a lot of people would have freaked out being faced with all this stuff.

I've been constantly reminded through all of this that God can make all things work out for good, even through the tough situations. Sunday morning when I arrived to a working light board and we made it through 2 seamless services I just had to laugh and thank God.

How we respond in difficult situations can make a huge difference. Stay calm, focused and trust God.

Of course, this post would be better with pictures so here you go. Sorry no flooding boat pics :)
