crashing, crashing, crashing?

well, i've heard that my blog crashes some browsers, i'm thinkin' maybe it's my loooong photo posts? i dunno - anyhow, i've shortened my post list temporarily to 7 or some other small number until those posts are further archived (or, like now there is only one on the main page). sorry bout the crashin', chris. let me know if this helps, k? that goes for anybody. i'm a novice at web page design, so it could be that too. *sigh*

i'm tired lately. i spent all of saturday crashed in bed doing sudoku puzzles, gastrointestinal difficulties.... i danced like mad at church, but i really didnt feel good all day sunday either. today? it's past noon and i'm still in my jammies.

course, too, there is the decision of whether to move or not to move. friends say MOVE, mom says stay and bug the landlord. guess which seems like the less stress? moving. but then whats the stress? going against mom's advice. gack.

God's got His plans in all this, of course, with my health crashing once i got home again, when it was fine for so long on the trip, and then again camping at ackermans. [until the last day when i slept in the B-fam's tent (to avoid being alone in my tent with three burly guys camping down the road) which was full of bug spray - hives ensued, and a tight chest in the morning.]

anyways, i got a lead on a trailer for rent where my friend carrie lives, we'll see if i can work up the guts, work through the stress, to make the call to go see it - and sniff it.

sometimes i really just want to go live in a tent and breathe fresh air all the time.

but i don't like the idea of freezin' in the cold months, y'know? lol

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

The Radical Summons: "
Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
