Whadda ya know?!

I haven't been posting much and here's why:

 Computer issues.

It's not that I don't have tons going on in my life; I do.  Lots of things changing at Lark Circle these days...and mostly me.  But we'll get to that.  Today's post is about computer issues and an answer to prayer.

I bought a Macbook laptop in 2007. I'm wiring on it tonight, but for the last few months, I haven't been able to use my internet browser (Safari) to post blogs.  Something was awry.  I also couldn't use it to update a website I take care of.

What I thought I needed was a new computer, so I started praying and asked the ministry guys to also pray that God would provide.  My prayer was a little different though; more along the lines of God, if you want me to continue to do this work, then will you provide a new computer, or at the very least, would you help me understand how I can make what I have work?  I tried several different ways of trying how to figure out how to upload files to the server for the website.  Blogger works when I use Firefox web browser, but I don't like Firefox.

So I quit posting.  And then I quit having internet because I have a smarter-than-me phone.  Posting blogs on a touch screen doesn't work well for me.  Texting on a touch screen doesn't work well for me.

Anyway, that explains the absence.  And the other day, God answered those prayers, with "use what you have."  And ideas started popping into mind that weren't there before.  It's like there was this road block and now it's gone.

I tried blogger on a whim.  It works.  My mobile hotspot interweb thing works.  I had to spend an hour at T-moblie straightening that out yesterday before work.  That problem was fixed.  And then I got a check in the mail which covered the cost of the website again for three months.  Timing is everything.

God's timing is perfect.

So the menofvisionutah.org website is up and somewhat current.  So is their Facebook page and I'm gonna try and post at least one new thing there a day.

Try.

And maybe now that blogger works with Safari again, thanks, I'm sure, to a flash update, maybe...just maybe I'll start blogging again.

What I've learned lately, I'm trying to apply to the oddest thing I've ever faced.  I mean that.  Over the years I've learned that when you lose, it's best to lose and walk away.  But this time, walking away seems to be not part of the plan.  It's like being forced to watch as the decision you made has consequences you could never imagine, and having to watch them as they play out. Running away isn't in the cards. I deserve that.  I mean that.  It's a blessing because it will keep me from being stupid tonight. And tomorrow.  It kept me from being stupid yesterday, etc... You get the idea. Whatever your opinion about where I'm at, where I'm at is where I am.  And this is what the Bible has to say:  Psalm 127 v1:  Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. From Jeremiah 10:23...Lord I know that peoples' lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. From Proverbs  16:1  To huma...

At least I can laugh about it!

The papers say: DALE L COOPER IS NOT THE..... I had to laugh because it was my Maury moment.  I'm not making this up; they say it just like that in bold type and all capital letters, like they're shouting it from the rooftops! I wonder if all caps and bold type in legal documents have the same significance as capitalizing things in an e-mail. There's a story here about why God is always good and His timing is impeccable. I mentioned earlier I had to get a copy of my divorce decree for my employer so they can verify some information I provided to them.  That is gonna have to wait because I got some papers in the mail from the State of Utah who is stepping in to set aside a portion of my divorce decree so that it meets their needs.  They need to undo something that got done through no fault of my own. When I quit fighting the former(?) Mrs., it was this issue that I gave in on. So today, I get to send my employer the information I got in the mail and hopefully...

not that guy today!

As I drove up the circle the other day, I took a good look at my house and I decided I needed to change a few things. For far too long, I've been doing just what I needed to, to get by with keeping the lawn mowed and the garbage picked up, for the most part (except the mess in the back yard), but I saw some things I didn't like. For instance, one of my window screens fell out of the window.  Another was coming out of the frame.  I had a ladder out back I used to pick apricots.  That was in July.  My boat had a flat tire and was kind of starting to be a catch-all for this or that thing. No longer. The ladder is put away for the evening.  Tomorrow I have to get out the 20 footer to fix the other screen.  All of the junk is gone.  ALL of it.  I still have a couple of shelves to clean out and some cupboards to clean out and can do that this weekend.  But the non-working appliances, broken and disgusting furniture, and garbage is removed f...
