Divine Intervention?!

While I had been rather faithful in posting since I began my sabbatical all that stopped Easter Evening.  Earlier in the week I got an email from my internet provider (I carry this little gadget that gives me a wifi signal) saying there was maintenance to be undertaken beginning on April 1 and that I needed a new SIM card for my gadget.  I duly gave my address and they said it would be here on the 28.  Well, it never arrived.  I assumed that with the Holy Days/Holidays it was late.  Needless to say there was a mx up.  I finally received the new SIM card yesterday.

Was it a mix up, or perhaps, Divine Intervention?  While I am more prone to think the former, I took it as a sign to evaluate my time here; especially my internet time here.  With wifi there was blogging and email.  I also followed our Holy Father in Rome during the Triduum.  But of course, there was other nonsense:  Getting caught up with the craziness from North Korea, or how ready the Mets were to play ball, etc.

All those distractions were precisely that, distractions.  Worrying about so many things can prevent oneself from handing over other things to God.  Trying to be "connected" can also prevent a deeper unity and intimacy with the Risen Lord.  So while I will continue my posts, I will try to limit my internet time.  I don't want to be that person who sits in Starbucks all day in front of a lap-top while the whole world passes by.
