So I did my civic duty as an elector in this fine and windy city and drew a line connecting two halves of the arrow pointing to my choice of mayor. The results should be in soon. It’ll be interesting to see who wins.
The Contenders
From the Globe and Mail this morning
So I’ve made a few changes to the ol’ blog. Not quite the exact vision I had, but good enough for the moment. I ended up going back to the list of links format rather than the drop down menu. (If you want a link up there or would prefer not to have your site linked, please let me know.) Colours are slightly changed. And you just might find yourself in the title collage.
An Excerpt from RLP – read the whole post here … the comments on his post are interesting as well.
Recently I found out that I might be a false prophet.
I know! I was as surprised as anyone to hear it. Ií¬¬ tell you all about it in a moment, but first promise me that you will resist the urge to leave a comment reassuring me that Ií not a false prophet. I doní´ need reassurance. Ií asking a serious question here.
…
I started wondering about this because I got an email from a guy who is absolutely convinced that I am indeed a false prophet.
That’s weird, wild stuff, by the way, when someone accuses you of being a false prophet.
Many of you do not believe in prophets, true or otherwise, so I expect you would simply laugh this off and go about your business. But if you are a Christian and another Christian feels that you are a false prophet, you are honor-bound to hear him out and consider the possibility. At least you should do so if the person making the accusation is reasonable.
I’ll say this for the guy. He was nice about it. Well, as nice as one can be when delivering that kind of news. I could tell he wasn’t enjoying telling me I was a false prophet, and I appreciated that. Having been accused of being a false prophet a few times now, I can tell you that it’s a lot easier to take when you can at least know that the person telling you isn’t enjoying himself.
He said, “I cannot tell for certain whether you play the role of false prophet intentionally or not, but nonetheless, play the role you do.”
This wasn’t some dumb guy either. He was intelligent and sincere. He was very sad that I was a false prophet and worried about it. I could tell he was grieved, and that made me sad too, and a little scared. I think I would enjoy a conversation with this guy, but I don’t know if he would be interested. Sometimes when Christians identify a bona fide false prophet they can be a little reluctant to socialize with him.
And who can blame them, really?
So anyway, after I had this whole email conversation with this guy, I got to thinking. How do I know I’m NOT a false prophet? And the truth is, I don’t know.
My paper journal entry from last night:
I’m scared/anxious a lot these days. I have mini-panic attacks gonig through intersections with red lihgt cameras. The thought of taking out a loan for the first time in my life worries me – has become somewhat of a preoccupation. I’m concerned that my actions are speaking louder than words to my friends/acquaintances. …
And the list could continue. But honestly – I feel overwhelmed by it all. It seems as though I’ve done a month full of nothing. As though I haven’t done anything meaningful or relaxing or anything to better myself. I’ve blundered away an awful lot of time. *sigh* Now I’m beating myself up over it all.
Perhaps I (with some Godly assistance) can do better tomorrow.
i need help. yesterday i changed my links into drop down menus. i’d love to get the kind where you hover over the word and the menu drops down … but that’s for another day when i can learn programming other than html (or just steal some code from somewhere).
but my issue is … with drop down menus using the < form > tags – how do i get the link to open in a new window. i tried fiddling with the target=”blank” tags but i couldn’t get it to work. i patched in some java, but the code i found used a “go” button to complete the navigation. i’d rather have the visitor just choose his/her selection and automatically have the new window open.
feel free to look at my code to help me out. thanks a bunch.
