A while back I expressed concern for my brother Lou as he goes around the nation doing God’s work. He is traveling with all his possessions in 3 suitcases.
Yesterday I got a call from him. Greyhound lost his luggage. All he had was his carry-on backpack, which contained mostly papers. He did have his laptop in the backpack but not the charger. He explained that he wasn’t going to use the computer so he left the charger in the suitcase that was now gone. Lou was confused and didn’t know what to do. With Greyhound, if they didn’t check his bags he has little recourse.
I feel badly for Lou but he just didn’t listen to advise we gave him. On his trip to Oregon he packed everything including the laptop in the suitcase. The bus he was on broke down and he was concerned at the time about losing his luggage. He didn’t carry the laptop with him because it was heavy. I explained that he could lose anything he didn’t have in his possession and he should put up with the discomfort. That much he heard but he didn’t think. The laptop should include the charger, it is useless without it and expensive to replace. Lou didn’t think this through. He heard carry the laptop and that’s what he did. That’s the way he thinks. He also has a GPS unit. I don’t know where that was and was hesitant to ask. It also has a charger. I suspect he lost at least the charger.
Lou is now stuck with no suitcase, clothing, and personal items and can’t use his computer for his work until he replaces the charger cord. After seeing how little he knows about shopping and how to get things done in the world I don’t know how well he will handle this. I woke up at 3:30 again this morning worrying about him. I hope God provides him with someone in Williamsburg to guide his actions.
