So what happens when you replace your broken laptop with a Treo and external keyboard, and then do it for many months on end, even liking the results? You get a keyboard that cannot keep up with you. Suffice to say, I am pretty disappointed that my keyboard has fallen apart on me (literally, the O and P keys fell off today, and the past two days have seen the part that folds in half being held together by just the ribbon cable only).

So I am on the march for a new keyboard (more specifically the funds for it). I really like using the keyboard, and I have had it since Feb of 05, and its done a really good job. But I guess that I ran it a bit out of commission in a respect or two. News might be slow for a bit while I get used to typing when I can, and then when possible to sit in front of a comp (as I am now) then I will do the longer pieces.

Other than that, I am still pluggin away (in prayer mainly) for a job. Funds are still quite low, and honestly, its one of those things where I can and do feel discouraged a lot about at times. There is much that I'd want to be able to do financially (pay off bills, get MMM rolling complely off the ground, send PDAs to "x" and do training for "y," etc.) but its just not seeming possible right now.

I saw some old friends today at an outreach in Baltimore and it was great to see them and fellowhsip some. It was even better to just get my hands in and help them when rain turned the outreach into a inreach (had to go inside). Dad did some marvelopus things with a person getting saved and a mother and son rededicating their lives to Christ. I had a lot of memories rush back tonite.

And in the mist of that I ran into a person with a Treo and showed him some of what his Treo is capable of. And then another person I ran into we talked about what mobile tech/internet tech should be doing to empower people, instead of putting them down. For me, it was a very chappenging night, one where I can honestly look at my broken keyboard and just shake my head.

So no, I am not exactly doing well. But I told myself that I'd plug away at MMM till I couldn't anymore. And even still, I'd probably do it if I were not online. The ministry is not in these walls, but its what changes the hearts and minds of people to know that God whom He says He is. Tis a hard one to grasp even now, but its the best truth of the night that I could leave with you all.
