Logging In Is Getting More Difficult

Uhhhhggggg!  I am about to pull what little hair I have out by the handful!  Everything I do anymore on the computer is prefaced with "Log In!"  But when I do, I am repeatedly told that I have the wrong user name or the wrong password!  I can't imagine!  By now I probably only have fifteen or twenty log in names and passwords.  How can I keep them all straight?

You might suggest, "Use the same one all the time!"  Makes good sense, but doesn't work!  So I try to do something different and they tell me that won't work either.  My answer today is to write everything down on a yellow sticky note and post it next to my computer.  It is right where I can see it, and the whole world who would like to get into my business can see it, too!  Go ahead!  I have nothing to hide!

Today I signed up for something new that I haven't been into before.  It not only had to have a log in name and password, but then it repeatedly told me my password that I selected wasn't safe enough.  It wouldn't let me use it.  I changed to another one.  Still not safe enough.  Changed it again.  Still not complex enough and needed to made more difficult for someone to guess.  After four or five tries, it was finally accepted!  Now no one has to guess!  In order to remember it, I had to write it down and stick it on the wall.  But it didn't stop there.  I had to have a six number verification code!  That is to make sure that when I log in with my user name and now extremely complex password, that it is really me logging in.  I wrote it on the sticky note next to my computer, too!  By the way, when I just went to log in again from earlier this morning, they told me I had the wrong verification code.  I looked and I had typed it in just as I had written it down.  When I went back to verify their verification code, they had sent me a second one already!

Now here is my point!  It will be real easy for you all to get.  Please follow the conversation that I am about to print!

Dear Father God,
(Please Log In)
Okay, God, here is my user name and password!
(Sorry, Gary, you have something wrong with one or the other!)
I'm sorry, Father, try this one!
(No, Gary!  You must use the proper case for your password.)
Okay.  I'll try it again!
(Sorry!  Your password and the confirmation didn't match.)
Well, I really want to talk to you this morning!
(Get your user name and password right and you can come to me!)
Okay, Father, I'll try it again.
(Great!  You have it exactly right!  Now could you please type in these funny looking words to verify that you are really you!)
Okay.  I'll try but I can barely read them.
(Sorry!  It is apparent that this isn't really you at all because you can't read the squiggly words and numbers!  You have just used up your log in time.  Please contact our office and we will reconnect your account once we verify that you are you!)
Oh God!  I just wanted to talk to you for a few minutes!  I'll try later in the week!

Isn't it great that we don't have to "log in" to talk to God?  Think about it...
