no internet, bah humbug!

well, i'm writing this in notepad for now, as i've had no internet for two days, i was up half the night last night with a telus tech (very helpful guy) and what it sounds like is my ethernet card(?) is fried, we'll see, i haven't had the energy to call them back today and confirm.

and tonight, as i was changing, i felt a prick on my ankle and i looked down and there was a little black spot on my foot about where i felt it, so i picked it off, and darn it, it was a flea. so maybe there are a few fleas floating about after all.... as far as i know fleas can't live off human blood (unless they are human fleas) so should die off in a short time. problem is, i would think they surely should have by now! so i dunno. but fleas couldn't possibly be responsible for those bites i've been getting that look like spider bites (two holes), now could they? did a freaky flea fling his fangs at my flesh? if i had the internet i'd look it up!!!!!

gosh i hate not having the internet. i guess it's the fast God's chosen for me at this time, lol.

i have a pink inflamed area on one foot, as well. last thing i need is another thing on my plate, but i've thought of how many reasons to see a doctor in the last 2 weeks and put it off so many times, maybe i should. but just not tomorrow, sigh.

played apples to apples tonight for the first time, with mike and moe and mark and ruth and 'bolton', in my mom's hospital room. i won, ha! fun time.

but sadness this morning as someone i knew passed away, i'm glad i got in a visit with him on saturday, who knew it would be the last time, eh? but with sadness there's happiness, as he's now present with the Lord, hallelujah!!! whoo hoo!!! (i'm jealous!)

ps: i was thinking, after playing a game of solitair and then preparing to go to bed.... i remember from when i had my cat (over 2 years ago) that flea eggs can remain dormant for many moons, then when they hatch of course they are going to be hungry too, lol! so, phew *wipes sweat from forehead* ... i feel better now! :D

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
