Hello 

 

 

An elderly woman was scavenging for copper to sell as scrap when she accidentally sliced through an underground cable and cut off internet services to the whole of Armenia, large parts of Georgia, and Azerbaijan. The woman had been digging for the metal when her spade damaged the fiber-optic cable. As Georgia provides 90% of Armenia's internet, the woman's unwitting sabotage had catastrophic consequences. Web users in the nation of 3.2 million people were left twiddling their thumbs for five hours as the country's main internet providers were prevented from supplying their normal service.

 

A spokesman for Georgia's interior ministry said, “It was a 75-year-old woman who was digging for copper in the ground so that she could sell it for scrap.” Called "the spade-hacker" by local media, the woman--who has not been named-- is being investigated on suspicion of damaging property. The woman was temporarily released "on account of her old age" but could face more questioning.

 

Small things can do a LOT of damage.  In fact, each one of us has something (that if left uncontrolled), can cause unbelievable devastation to someone else.

 

Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles!  James 3:5

 

Lord, help me to control my tongue, and for my words to be heaven-breathed, today. Amen!

 

 

Have a great day and God bless!
