Resurrected Blog

well I've resurrected my blogger blog, hence the huge time gap 'tween the last post and the current one. My archives from the movable type blog should be available at some point soon here

But looking at the date, this was about the time things started going pear shaped for me in a big way, so want to get back some of the joy from the time before that. the URL is the same of course, and, I will re-embed the graphisc for this page ASAP. I'll also remove some of the javascript, as its making the site run slowly. so, normal services will be resumed ASAP.

I was going to visit my dad today being Thursday. Until I actually tried to make it downstairs and could NOT! Yikes.. tis just like being a princess in a tower!! But shortly after the heavens opened so that probably explains some of it! Tomorrow I will try to aim for now. Lord willing.

On another note and at the risk of being GROSS! I HATE broken finger nails! Not talking about the wussie type but the kind that break half way down ones finger and tis ony where the nail is adhered to the finger itself which keeps it attached! Ewww! I've had one of these for a few days, and finally got around to putting a band aid on it to stop it catching all the time, as it gives me the eebijeebies. A friend told me how to fix 'em up like that a few years ago!!

But for now, since I can't go see my dad or do alot else, and can't sit here any longer, are going to bed to get Puritannical!! I may just move all my blog spaces over to blogger over the next few days. as all my buds, (or most of 'em) use blogger. Either past or present, bloggers. the archives on the sidebar I'll get working tomorrow, as blogger won't let me republish the entire blog right now.

Puritan Prayer

HEAVENLY FATHER,
If I should suffer need, and go unclothed, and be in poverty,
make my heart prize Thy love, know it, be constrained by it,
though I be denied all blessings.
It is Thy mercy to afflict and try me with wants,
for by these trials I see my sins,
and desire severance from them.
Let me willingly accept misery, sorrows, temptations,
if I can thereby feel sin as the greatest evil,
and be delivered from it with gratitude to Thee,
acknowledging this as the highest testimony of Thy love.
When thy Son, Jesus, came into my soul instead of sin
He became more dear to me than sin had formerly been;
His kindly rule replaced sin's tyranny.
Teach me to believe that if ever I would have any sin subdued
I must not only labour to overcome it,
but must invite Christ to abide in the place of it,
and He must become to me more than vile lust had been;
that His sweetness, power, life may be there.
Thus I must seek a grace from Him contrary to sin,
but must not claim it apart from Himself.
When I am afraid of evils to come, comfort me by showing me
that in myself I am a dying, condemned wretch,
but in Christ I am reconciled and live;
that in myself I find insufficiency and no rest,
but in Christ there is satisfaction and peace;
that in myself I am feeble and unable to do good,
but in Christ I have ability to do all things.
Though now I have His graces in part,
I shall shortly have them perfectly
in that state where Thou wilt show Thyself fully reconciled,
and alone sufficient, efficient, loving me completely,
with sin abolished.
O Lord, hasten that day. |
