BUPE

"Bupe" is a Chibemba word for "gift." I learned this word in Zambia, Africa, where Chibemba is spoken and where I was born. The chance to express myself in writing, especially when it is read and experienced by others, is a gift. Perhaps there will be moments when this blog is a gift to you...

blog-worthy blessing of the day

this morning i was once again amazed by the providential care of God. i have been contemplating the idea of purchasing a new laptop. mine is a 1998 IBM Thinkpad. it is very thick and heavy. and don't even think about buying a wireless card. alas, there would be nowhere to put it.

so, this morning i innocently inquired with one of my computer-savvy classmates for some advice about what kind of computer to get, etc. instead of advice, he offered me a FREE Dell laptop, much newer and thinner than my current model, complete with wireless capability and windows XP. turns out it was given to him as a gift, and he doesn't need it. he already has a nicer laptop of his own. so, that's right, he offered me a FREE laptop.

so, this post is about saying thank you to generous, generous people (thanks, Chuck!), AND recognizing that God is the ultimate source of "every good and perfect [and free] gift."

    you are making good job? nice.

    anyway, before i was rudely interrupted by a freaking VIAGRA ad, i wanted to say that it's cool that he just gave it to you. but then, guys named chuck are usually cool.
