patience... is it a virtue in this case?

two horrible days where blogger won't post for at least a few hours after i write.... slows me down terribly.... frustrates me like mad.... the world is coming to an end...

thinking of moving over to wordpress.... but then i'll have to do so much customizing again.... wish blogger would just get it's act together.... the world is coming to an end...

seriously, tho, i'm not looking forward to having to move my entire blog over to another whatchamacallit - server? - and redo all my html and css and blah blah blah.

patience is a virtue i guess.... but then maybe blogger is hoping people will just stay put for all the trouble it will be for us peons to change over. for me, that's a pain, becuase it means finding a server, which means paying for it (telus has only 25MB!), which means paying down the visa so i can pay for it.... learning how to upload ftp blah blah blah (which telus has only frusterated the bleepers out of me trying to figure out, now i can't even log into it GARRR!).....i'm thinking, three hours trying to figure this out, i should prolly go to bed, eh? lol.

is stubborness a virtue?

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
