Lightening has knocked out my computer

This afternoon a horrendous thunderstorm came over the lake, and I--stupid I--was at my computer when a bolt of lightening hit the house while I was at the keyboard; I got a good solid shock of electricity, not enough to hurt me in any way, but good enough to knock the daylights out of my computer. Right now I'm on a backup at June's daughter's home, and able to spend a few minutes letting you know that I may not be online regularly for a few days. I will take the computer to a shop in Covington to see if anything can be done to save it; if not, then I'll need to get another one as soon as conveniently possible. In the meantime, I can work out of the Covington public library to stay in touch.

While things work themselves out, here's a wonderful saying from St. Jerome I think you might like to muse over as the days go by:

Be like the grasshopper and make night musical . . . . Sing with your spirit, but sing with the understanding, too. And let your song be that of the psalmist.

Qtd. Mike Aquilina, The Way of the Fathers: Praying with Early Christians, 75.
