Let Go and Hold On

Posted on March 21, 2010 by Cindy

I was going to write a post about how God has been showing me that it’s time to turn all control over to him. That I needed to take my white knuckles off the things I hold onto for dear life – my next job; my healthy; my family; comfort and love life. He’s been silently telling me to let things happen naturally, as He intends and not what I think is best for me. He’s got it all under control and his way is the peaceful route. Continue reading →

Paying Tribute to My Dad on His Birthday and Premiere Date of the “The Pacific”

Posted on March 14, 2010 by Cindy

I have always felt my Dad was a shell of a man. I always thought I didn’t have my full Dad with me – it was just a sense I had and you sure couldn’t tell that from meeting him. After the war, he still was a quiet man who loved to garden, but he held himself back from accepting love, joy and happiness. I think the war took that out of him, sadly way before I was ever born.

Upload New Version Automatically

Posted on March 2, 2010 by Cindy

A common blog function is upgrades. As new bells and whistles are added or as bugs are fixed to your blog templates, a new upgrade notice appears on your control panel. When a notice notifies the blogger of an upgrade, they can either choose to hit button that says “Upgrade Automatically” or “Manual.” The Manual operation allows you to control the upgrade…it doesn’t completely override the system in case you had implemented custom codes. But, I like the auto function. And the last time I upgraded I thought wouldn’t that nice to have an auto upgrade button in our lives that we could hit to grow more like Christ. If so, then just like that we would have grown without experiencing much pain and it would be fast. We’d be on to the next level, waiting for a new upgrade to get that set of bugs out.
