My Computer
Hi,
I thought some of you might be interested, in how a senior citizen like me, came to learn about Computers. I had a son, who worked in the computer industry (he was called Home to be with the Lord in 2003, aged 37.) Anyway, he talked me into getting one about 5 1/2yrs ago. I was quite nervous about it all, because I was a complete novice. Andrew (my son) helped me choose it etc. and he and his wife were very patient with me. I also went to SeniorNet, which is a well known group, thru out NZ. They teach seniors all about computer use, from the basics up. It is a marvellous group, and there are only about 5 to each class, and 1 or sometimes 2 Tutors. So I went to a few of their courses, and that was so good. Then when I had learnt a bit there, I decided that I needed time on my own, to explore and find out about things on my own, and just asked Andrew if I got stuck, which in the beginning was quite a lot!!! After my darling boy was called Home, to be with Christ, my Son-in-Law, and another good friend of ours, helped me out, more times than I can remember, and my clued up, (and much loved) daughters', helped me also, and they all continue to help me, at times. Subsequently, I've thanked God many times, for leading me into Computer Land.
I just love it, and now regard it as one of my hobbies. I use IncrediMail, and hope some of you do too. That's a good plug for them, eh!
I do Banking, shopping etc on line, and I cannot really begin to tell you all the things I can now do on my much loved computer!! and I still realise that I still have soooo much more to learn. In fact I have barely scratched the surface of this great piece of technology.
I hope this story will encourage other older folk, to give the computer a go. I just know you will love it.
You know what... all this reminds me, of God's Word, THE BIBLE. Maybe some can know all about computers, (not me!) but we can never ever, exhaust what there is to learn in that wonderful book, THE BIBLE. I, like you, probably will be reading it, and think, "I have never seen that before."
I do hope you enjoy reading this.
Much Christian love from
Mumbly.
