Fear, Haste & Deceit … Damage Computers And Life!

By Terry Hoggard

This week my computer & I officially had Round #2!

In late January I had my first 'crash' and this week I endured my first 'virus invasion'! Both were terribly frustrating and I was really challenged … to say the least!

Out of the anguish I learned a very important lesson …

Fear, Haste & Deceit … Damage Computers And Life!

All of my problems with the computer were born out of these things!

• Fear – a message appeared on the screen prompting me to make a decision
• Haste - out of the fear of not knowing what to do I quickly moved forward
• Deceit – when it is too late to turn back I realized the message was a lie … but the damage was already done!

In the very same way we can do great damage to our lives!

Fear, in an array of expressions, prompts us to make a decision and in our haste we rush forward, driven to react to the problem rather than waiting to respond to His presence. Then, having already made our move, we discover that we have believed a lie!

 Fear, Haste & Deceit … Damage Computers And Life!

This experience is too tragic to repeat … with computers and certainly with our lives, so we must learn the lesson well!

So, are you ready students?

Repeat after me …. Fear, Haste & Deceit … Damage Computers And Life!

*** Thanks to my friend Mats and his friend Rui my computer is now back in service!
