Welcome! |
Wow! I've been putting my brain through the ringer, stretching it to its limits, and making myself crazy [well, crazier maybe]. I had some pages here at the Clarion Call that looked awful in my browser. The background picture was gone and the background was black. When I first looked at the page the background was there. As I scrolled down the background disappeared and turned black. I had some other people look at them on their computers. Some saw the black and some didn't. I figured it had to be something wrong in the codes. I would cut things out to see if they were the culprit. Sometimes it felt like I could narrow it down to a certain area, but I could never find the problem. This was a very bad thing since I profess to be a web page designer. I just had to figure out the problem. Hours and hours and headaches later I finally figured it out. The pages were too long. The browser couldn't handle the length of the page. When I cut them down into part one and part two then the problem went away. Whew!! I was starting to wonder if I was losing my mind. It turns out I didn't lose my mind, I only misplaced it temporarily.
So, instead of updating the Bible study I've been fighting with my pages that
had black backgrounds. Isn't that typical of that stupid satan? He
knew black would look really icky and knew I'd spend time looking for the
problem. Well, take that you numbskull! I figured it out! HA! |

I've also been very busy working on a court case in which I'm involved.
I can't share the details just yet. It will be over soon and then I
can share. I've been drowning in paperwork as the end of the case draws near. I've been taking care of a lot of research and stuff to try to save attorney fees. My attorney is a cool guy. He's the only attorney I've ever met that seems to actually be ethical. I have a "bad stuff" section here at the Clarion Call and I will be making a "good stuff" section when my days aren't so filled with other things. My attorney likes attorney jokes. Here's my favorite: What's black and brown and looks good on an attorney? Answer: A doberman pinscher |

| This weekend my husband and I are going to his
college/football reunion. He saw a couple of his ex-buddies at a
birthday party and they started planning a reunion. It will be in San
Diego. My husband is really looking forward to it. He had a lot
of fun in college. LOLOL!! My kitten was sitting on the window sill looking out the window. I have a prism that sticks to the window with a suction cup. The prism let go and my kitten jumped straight up and back. She caught herself by her front paws on the edge of the window sill. She pulled herself back up and acted like nothing happened. Cats are so much fun to watch! OK, back to reunions. I am on the reunion committee for my 40th high school reunion. I wasn't very popular in high school so it surprises me that I'm on the committee. I had made some suggestions to the head of the committee and POOF I was on the committee. That's ok, it is working out so far. I had the list of graduates that was needed. I'm working out the details for our family picnic. |

| In all the years I've been sharing with you here at the Clarion Call I've never kept anything from you that was happening in my life. I used to look forward to "visiting" with you every week. I'm not really enjoying it since I've had to hold things back. I'm sorry. Things will be better soon. |
 |
|
I hope your visit here is and was a good one. Since my "door" is always open I don't know who is coming and going. I would love to hear from you! |
|
Sometimes the Bible study was started in the welcome message. Each Bible study has a link to that week's welcome. You know, I just realized that I was blogging before there was such a thing as a blog! |

Romans 12:9 |
|
Romans 12 consists of rules on how to act. I've already done studies on
all the verses up to verse 8. That's why we are doing verse 9 and probably
will be going over a few more. Loving without dissimulation means love with sincerity and without hypocrisy. That's just emphasis for "Thou shalt love ... thy neighbour as thyself." Luke 10:27 It's important that we not only detest evil, but that we are aware of what is actually evil. There are things that could be evil for me that aren't evil for someone else. If, when I play video games, I get so involved in them that I spend hours and hours doing it and can't wait to play them when I get up in the morning, then I need to consider them evil. Evil would be something that keeps me from doing what God wants me to be doing. Romans 12:10 says, "Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another." Have you ever read that and let it slide right on by without facing it head on? It is just more explanation on how to fulfill Luke 10:27 regarding loving your neighbour. If we just give lip service to scriptures such as Romans 12: 9-10 then we are not serving the Lord. Think of some of the people that you have not treated with brotherly love. Now, think of what answer you will give Jesus when, some day, He will ask you why you didn't. "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Gal 6:7 |

Did you miss the
last Bible study? Here's a short cut to find it. |
|
|
My mind is always busy. It wanders from thing to thing. Many times those thoughts just float away. Every once in a while I will catch one and put it here. Once a new musing comes then "poof" the old one is gone. |

Every once in a while I come here to the Clarion Call and read about things that I need to learn. You see, I didn't write all the things here. Some of the things have other authors, but I didn't even write all the things I wrote. That sounds goofy. Let me explain. I wrote them, but it was God that gave them to me. I struggle with some of the things that He gave me Bible studies about. So, when I read them it is as if somebody else wrote them down. I don't remember them. That makes me feel good to know that I was allowing God to work through me. |
