Holy Family

Today is the feast of the Holy Family. The second reading is Col 12-21. The first part (12-17) reads:

Brothers and sisters:
Put on, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another;
as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do.
And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection.
And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body.
And be thankful.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

I think I can say I am thankful for knowing and have known the Kat. My sadness at the current state of affairs may impede patience and compassion.

reset button

A few minutes ago, I tried to link to the Internet to no avail. I reset the DSL modem which showed that the connection to the outisde world was there, but I had no connection from the laptop to the modem. I looked for a reset method on the laptop but could not find one. So I powered off the laptop as is the recommended method for little boxes.

I think our relationship needs reseting. No such button exists. What is the metaphor for "powering down and back up"? I don't know and even hesitate to pursue the thought.
