After a lot of prayer, a lot of discussing it with Rosanna, and a lot of thinking it through, I arrived home yesterday from the Oklahoma City Apple Store with a new MacBook. It’s a 2GHz Intel Core Duo, white, Superdrive, 80GB HD, 1GB RAM thing of beauty.
My other computers were frankly falling apart. They’ve served me well for five (iBook) and six (iMac) years respectively. But I’ve never purchased a computer with a big vision to use it for something other than my own little desires for speed and new features. I really want to use this thing to advance the Gospel, especially through redistributing materials from Desiring God.
If I had my camera (I think it’s still back in Olton, TX, left there at Tim Elam’s wedding), I’d put up a picture. Well, here’s hoping I find that camera soon. I’ve got all this hard drive space now, so why not fill it up?
Oh, and I’ve dubbed the MacBook, “Doxa Theou.” For any non-NT Greek students out there (meaning, pretty much everybody reading this site), that is “Glory of God.” Doxa, being the singular nominative for “glory” and Theou being the singular genetive of Theos (God).
