SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager Snap-In failed
I need to access multiple versions of SQL Server at work, and for SQL Server 2000, it's nothing better than to use the SQL Server 2000 client tools to connect. However, after some uninstallation of other programs on my work computer has corrupted the SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager Snap-In. Re-installation was a challenge on its own. Just want to post what helped me in this incident and see if it could help anyone down the road...

The Gift of God's Smile - my reflection
From Max Lucado "In the Eye of the Storm":
"We do not ask these things because we are good; instead, we ask because of your mercy."
(Daniel 9:18)
If only, when God smiles and says we are saved, we'd salute Him, thank Him, and live like those who have just received a gift from the Commander in Chief.
We seldom do that, though. We prefer to get salvation the old-fashioned way: We earn it. To accept grace is to admit failure, a step we are hesitant to take. We opt to impress God with how good we are rather than confessing how great He is. We dizzy ourselves with doctrine. Burden ourselves with rules. Think that God will smile on our efforts.
He doesn't.
God's smile is not for the healthy hiker who boasts that he made the journey alone. It is, instead, for the crippled leper who begs God for a back on which to ride.
Dear Father, I don't remember since when I fell from your mercy to think that only my achievements would make You and others around me smile. It's my sins that have blinded me to think less about You and more on what I could/should accomplish. The striking news you brought forth tonight is a wake up call for my spiritual life. It's essential to be a good husband, father, employee, friend...but out of all these, only one is the most important and vital: I'm Your child, not by my works/performance, but completely by Your grace. Forgive me God! May You have the Holy Spirit constantly remind me this truth and help me to love You more! In Jesus' Name I prayed, Amen.
