Arkansas Game & Links For YOU 9-20-14

We spent the better part of an hour and a half tonight, trying to get the stinkin' Arkansas football game on our TV. At first, it was supposed to be on ESPNU, which we don't get. We DO, however, get the SEC channel and so why in THE world it's not on that channel...

Anyway, we figure out how to get the game on Holly's lap-top. Six people watching on a Mac Book.

Good times.

Then, Jim pulls it up on his computer. I asked if there was a way to get it from the computer...to the TV.

WHY, YES. YES, THERE IS.

After getting out cables and cords and plugging in and loading up and waiting...we FINALLY got the game where we could watch it on TV. Cords are strung (is that even a word?) up everywhere like clotheslines for the Dugger family.

Red.neck football fans. Because that's how we do.

BUT THE PICTURE
                                     KEPT

FREEZING

                            UP
   
                                                  ON THE SCREEN

Annoying, much?

And then...POOF! The Arkansas game was gone! And scrolling across the screen was a note that it could now be watched on ESPN2. Which we have.

So we changed over there immediately, and Jim unplugged everything and then POOF! It was gone...and BACK on ESPNU.

I know those of you who are not football/Arkansas football fans have now gone to bed. Can't say I blame ya.

And Aaron-the-son-in-law...his head was about to pop off. He is UofA alum and a huuuuge Arkansas fan.

We finally got the game back on and were able to watch it in it's entirety without too much trouble.

Praise Jesus, because I thought we were gonna lose Aaron.

Here are some links for you...just some posts over the past couple of weeks that I really liked:

This if you are restless for more and your life seems small. Love this wisdom from Jennie Allen.

This by Lisa-Jo Baker on what kids learn by watching US. (eeek!) (also, "Surprised by Motherhood?" AWESOME BOOK)

This because...don't y'all just love The Nester? I do!

This, when you wonder why God allows what He could prevent, spoke to me on so many levels...as a mom of a son who has Down Syndrome; as a mom of a son who had cancer as a child; as the friend of a couple who lost their first child; as the friend of one who entered Heaven way too son (by my account) because of many health difficulties.
