Where's the Light?

Yet another little setback when a 'hacker' got into my online banking system and helped themselves to all but $9.00 in my savings account! By most people's standards I didn't have a lot of money in there, but $2750.00 is still a lot to me (especially with my holiday in Honolulu coming up on June 29). Fortunately I alerted my bank quickly enough for them to act on my behalf and the money should be restored within a few days.

I am still feeling pretty ordinary about life, but the next few weeks leading up to my trip will be quite busy, so (hopefully) that should keep my mind occupied on other things. I attended my first church service for some time last week and will go again next Sunday... the pentecostal service and sermon at the Assembly of God Church were quite uplifting and there is no doubt I felt better afterwards - for a while at least.

My dear brother Geoff spent the best part of two days with me last week restoring and upgrading Windows XP on my computer. I'm really blessed to have a brother like Geoff... we don't often talk 'heart to heart' on our personal problems, but we are both aware that, when a helping hand is needed, we will always be there for each other.
