Have you ever been frustrated? I have. In fact, this past three weeks have been both amazing AND frustrating. I moved to a new home. I love it! I love our new community. I love the new friends I’m making.

But I don’t love being disconnected.

I thought the only place you couldn’t get phone service or Internet was in the remote jungles of Brazil. But you guessed it! I can’t get it in my new home–at least, not yet.

It’s caused me problems with my writing. 100% of what I do is online–sending manuscripts; talking to editors; blogging; research. . .

I’ve had to find a few little hot spots in my city and soak up cyberspace rays to check e-mail, but I’m ready to be connected again.

This may seem like a small thing, and it is comapred to the big stuff like sickness, poverty, parents divorcing, or any other life-changing interruption. So I’m asking God for patience, and we at RTF are also hoping you’ll hang with us until we are fully back online again.
