The day was a mixture of wonderful things and frustrating moments. It's called life.
I forgot that #markdown was permitted here. Good thing.
What if I read someone's post from the webring and want to comment?
Your throne is built on righteousness and justice; loyal love and faithfulness stand in front of you.
Psalm 89.14 CEB.
God forgive the frustrated emotion, the harsh, unkind word, the impatient look, the impetuous outburst.
O God:─
Help me this day -- what's left of it -- and in this moment to be your man of holiness and promptness, in doing your will. I thank you for all good things from your hand: for a mind to seek you, and heart to dedicate to you, and a will to decide each moment for you.
Jesus is Lord of me and mine. Amen.
Repeating a previous statement: I hate getting my hair cut, but love the result afterwards.
A slow foot still moves forward.
What thoughts are causing the present sadness? Are they true or false or somewhere in between? Is some change or transition ocurring? Is it a time to count blessings?
It's hard for both sides, the caller and the callee -- I've been on both ends -- but telemarketing must have been the invention of the devil.
Wisdom is rare. Who will dare?
Stuff gets messed up, and it's hard to figure out what the problem is and where's its source. Frustrationg.
Let Jesus be our end and all:
Show sprinkled blood and suffering brow,
The mangled body pierced for sin,
The Lamb of God from time eternal.
If after two years a work cannot go on its own, start a new one. Anywhere. With whatever. However.
Here, no one sees and no one cares,
So write to heart's content --
None ask the hurting how he fares,
Nor what his venting meant.
“Throw your burden upon the Lord,
and he will sustain you.
He will never allow the godly to be shaken.”
Psalm 55.22 NETB.
So why did I accept? I have enough to do without it. Shouldn't one go forward, and not backward? Are selfish motives involved, or is it a matter of being concerned for those who will hear? How to know? The only thing perhaps is to ask God to use the moment for his glory.
no pressure, no comments, no audience
peace and quiet, a walk in the park
where'd everybody go?

The order in this Mastodon post pushing a religious meeting seems significant: “Seeking great music and quality Biblical teaching?” Emotion, then truth, if any is left.
High carb, low energy. That's me right now.
Life is complicated enough without throwing the technological garbage at it.
Whew! Thought I'd never get back in to this account. Seemed lost forever.
Just finished writing meditations all the way down to the end of November. Only the days of December remain.
We're helpless in so many ways,
So many things beyond our powers.
But God is present for his people,
In pain and death and our delays.
Just did a blog post, first a a few days. Good place Mataroa is.
Wisdom is rare, knowledge is lacking, and the impoverished in learning have no idea of their ignorance.
Social media: Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink.
Nice chat with the Middle Man (Son 2) about good things that happened Sunday. Always great to hear good news.
Organizational power tends to wane by the end of the afternoon. What can I do to keep up the momentum?
I give up. It's too complicated. I'm no techie. Maybe I should go back to those closed gardens like the rest of the sheep.
Was slow to kick in after awake at 5 and up at 530. But kick in I did and away I went.
1.5 hours of answering questions online, last night. Tiring but satisfying.
Good night's sleep, even at my advanced age.
Cool and cloudy morning, MrM's preference. Who knows what it will do later in the day?
Going to drive MrsM later today to her speaking engagement into the Metropolis. Don't feel good about her driving herself.
Every man, every family, every tribe, every nation must, in the course of time, pass through trials, temptations, afflictions, because such are the effects of man’s alienation and apostacy from God. Very few men, indeed, can endure much prolonged prosperity.

God, help us and save us, for injustice rules and evil prevails.
Unfollowing some people on social-media accounts. It's that time.
Today has been a confusing, cloudy day -- not in the skies, but in events. There are such days. Tomorrow will be better.
A simple box for writing
A profile made exciting
Words and thoughts inciting
That's me here and inviting
This afternoon I was out and about,
I saw the crowd and the voice of doubt;
Guides galore, but all were lost;
None knew what came at Pentecost.
God came and stayed, once for all,
Raised man to heaven, reversed the Fall.
The prince of the air, God threw him out.
To know the Lord, is now man's boast.
I loved QuietJournal, but didn’t care having to keep DeltaChat open. Who knows, might return to it. It’s like a microblog, just pop an idea in there and go.
Where's the round of applause to my brilliant post?
The promise I believed has turned to toast.
#couplets
Found you again! Whew, thought I'd lost you.
Took a while for thoughts to load ...
Magazine finished today. Relief. Next edition ...
Breakfast at a friend's house, he made omelets. Good chat.
Book I ordered has arrived.
Does this register hastags for #lists?
2 hour planning meeting tonight with two friends went well. Was the 2nd meeting we've had. (It's all twos here tonight.) Will have another meet next week before calling the whole 20-some people together in the whole group to move forward. God bless this New Effort.
This should be a numbered list for markdown, yes? So consider this a test ...
Hello, nice to meet you.
Say something nice to all the people out there.
Fine approach here on thoughts.page ... methinks it'll work fine.
