I thought this thing was supposed to be easy.
I hope you’ve seen Pulp Fiction so this next part makes sense.
You know what the funniest thing about the Mac is? It’s the little differences. I mean, they got the same stuff over there that we got here, but it’s just, with a Mac, it’s a little different.
Example:
Well, the first time I started a program on the Mac, I couldn’t figure out where the menu was. There was a menu at the top of the screen called “Finder,” with the familiar file, edit, and view commands along with others, though clicking those wasn’t bringing up anything I understood. I saw a program called “TextEdit” on the dock, a shiny shelf at the bottom of the screen. I clicked it, and a text editing window came up. Cool. But it had no menu at all. I spent an hour opening programs with the finder window, but then having no idea how to run them. It was like there were no menus in this strange world.

How I almost lost Real Live Preacher and how my babies found their way home
This blog is the third incarnation of Real Live Preacher. My original blog was at blogs.salon.com from 2002 to 2005. Then a friend set up a Drupal site for me. I didn’t know I should have been paying someone to upgrade Drupal regularly, so after a couple of years, my site got into trouble. I was inundated with comment spam and other security problems that later versions of Drupal addressed. The server I was using did not give me enough resources to handle the traffic load from Real Live Preacher.

I have all of my writing in the original Word documents, but I have written so much that I probably never would have found the time to manually re-enter it.
At that point, Tim Miller found me. Jethro Consultants took over the management of
