MURPHY'S LAW OR GOD'S TESTING

Why does it always happen that when I need my Canon copy machine to work, for a heavy print load, it doesn't! Mr. Murphy always puts his law into action during Easter week, Christmas week and today. I'm talking about trying to print church bulletins during a heavy print week and having the machine not cooperate. My machine is out of order due to constant jams!! For a secretary going on vacation and needing to have the next two Sunday bulletins done by tomorrow this is horrible!! I must calm myself down. .........deep breath......breath out.....

I did put my call into the service dept but when they'll come out who knows. When my machine is down it seems like all Long Beach copy machines are down!

What I've described above always happens during Holy Week before Easter as I have to do Maundy Thursday, Good Friday (noon & evening service, both different). and Easter Sunday double the number.

At Christmas Christmas Eve (morning & night) and Christmas day and Sunday if its before or after.

I shouldn't be surprised, it happens all the time, and I'm not making this up!! I should be aware of the schemes of the enemy to get me miffed and anxious or maybe God is teaching me about patience. Trusing in him to get things in order, to make it right. Every year when I go through this same scene it always works out. I have never had to go to Kinko's to have them do the job. It's always worked out fine. And it will today too. I still have tomorrow and worse case scenerio I'll have to come in Saturday and finish, BUT it will get done.

So with that off my chest, I will thank God for His presence, His peace and laugh with Him as we wave Mr. Murphy good-bye. No sad faces here and anxiety. The Master of the Universe is my spiritual repairman.

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want,
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters,
He restores my soul." Ps. 23:1-3a
