BibleTech or BUST: Praying in Paris

Written by: Dony & Kathryn Donev

When technology does not work, prayer still does. This is our hope landing in Paris at 12:30 with a three-hour delay from Bulgaria. The flight attendant says we have missed the 12:50 to Chicago, hands us a couple hotel vouchers and waves goodbye.

First time in Paris, ha? It is as cold as it could be. My carry-on has all the computer equipment I could carry, but no razor, no toiletries, nor anything else that could be considered a threat to security and hygienically necessary at the same time. And then, among all of the hotels with familiar English names and extra-large “Free Wi-Fi” signs, the shuttle takes us to the one and only hotel without free internet. They have it in the office area but it costs a buck a minute. I should start charging that much for online support.

But the Goal is clear: BibleTech or BUST … so we grab our laptops and head down the windy and winding streets praying in Paris for … a connection. I can handle the winter okay, but I doubt I can handle it without some internet. Postmodern pilgrimage or what?
