Why Won't It Print?!

This morning, I was trying to print some things that I needed. Of course, the paper in the printer jammed. So, I cleared the jam in the printer, clicked the blinking button, and the job still wouldn't print. I went to check the printer queue and there it was. I decided to delete it and then went to resend the job. Nothing happened. I rechecked the queue and there was that first job just sitting there. It said it was deleting, but it wasn't. So I tried to delete it again. Nothing. Everything else just got stuck behind this job that wouldn't delete and wouldn't send. I tried shutting down the printer. Nothing - still stuck. I clicked Helped and tried two or three things from the Troubleshoot section. Nothing - still stuck. Finally, Help said, "Restart the Computer. This should clear the memory." So I did. Viola! The queue cleared and I was able to print again.

I wish I could clear my own memory this easily.

The same thing happens to me that happened to my computer and printer this morning. My memory gets stuck. Thoughts just keep spooling. The thought doesn't clear and nothing else gets through. It's very frustrating. I need a Troubleshooting feature like my computer has. Choose what your problem is: try this; didn't work, now try this; still didn't work, restart and the memory will clear. But I do have my own Troubleshooting feature if I just choose to use it.

Anne Lamont says there are really only two prayers that we need. One of them is HELP! It can be hard for me to pray this when I'm stuck. I get frustrated by the thoughts. My emotions get the best of me. However when I do click my personal Troubleshooter, I do get help. It's true. Even if the help I receive is just a pause in the spooling to let others things through, that's enough. Then I can pray the second of Anne Lamont's two prayers: THANK YOU! Eventually I know my memory queue will clear and other things won't get stuck behind it.
