Since the crack of dawn, our connection to the outside world has been more miss than hit. Up, then down. Limping along at 1 to 5 Mbps down, then a bizarre 50 up. Then it just goes completely dark. Back up, back down. I’m not kidding, it’s been like flying through heavy airplane turbulence all day long. BARF.
It’s definitely made for an interesting day, forcing me to work the “old school” way. I mean, we weren’t exactly plunged into the Dark Ages, or even back to 1987. But tech-wise? It definitely felt like 1997 all over again. Cue the screeching dial-up modem sounds.
But you know what? That’s not necessarily a bad thing, is it? For one, it forces a masterclass in patience. More importantly, it provides a rare opportunity to just slow down and actually take in a bit of silence.
Perhaps this whole mess is a quirky little gift from the Lord—His way of saying, “Slow down tonight. Give your souls a break from all the digital noise. Sit in the quiet, play a game, and maybe even meditate on the sheer gift of life.”
