Crucified Hearts

Transforming lives by way of the cross

Test Post Using Open Live Writer On My New Laptop

     I recently bought a new Acer Swift 3 laptop to replace my aging Macbook Pro. It has better specs for the money, though I am just now returning to a Windows platform for the first time in twenty years. My Macbook battery had aged out in its charging cycles by almost half again what was recommended. Not only did I have little battery life after charging, but I was afraid it would crash and I would lose my files. I’ll miss some of the software that is only available in the Apple universe, but it can’t be helped, at least for now.
     My new Acer has 1 TB of SSD storage and 16 GB of ram. I can’t imagine I’ll need more than that, but the laptop is more easily upgraded than a Mac. I am getting use to the different feel of the keyboard and the placement of some of the keys and their functions. Battery life is great, a full days worth in my workflow. (I am not gaming). The OLED screen is bright and crisp for my old eyes. No regrets on the purchase, which I made on Amazon with 12 months of payments at no interest. Total with tax was just over a thousand dollars. A new Macbook with these specs would be more than twice that.
     I guess I am ready to upload what I’ve written using Open Live Writer. Here goes.

Hi…Thanks for checking in. I live in rural Kentucky, moving from Louisville in 2016. I have a small degree in pastoral theology, studying and pastoring in the U.K., from 2000 to 2009, then in the U.S. until 2012. I am now a part-time driver for the local Amish community. I’m making an honest effort to write more, to write out some thoughts on the spiritual life, occasional comment on current events (I’m apolitical, so not much there), and with some emphasis on my life in recovery from addiction. And then there are those marriages and divorces, not for the sake of raking dirt, but for support for others and perhaps a little for myself. In living, like gardening, I tend to follow the seasons of life.
