This morning I fired up the ol' laptop with the intended purpose of posting my second entry onto my new blog. The morning air was crisp and cool, while the first rays of dawn edged over the horizon. The peculiar sound of windows loading penetrated the stillness -- I sipped a little morning blend waiting for the moment.
Clicking on the Internet Explorer icon, my senses quickened. Now I simply had to type in my blog url and I could begin placing words and phrases together for the second day in a row! My blog leaped to the screen, and then . . ..
then there was more clicks! My blog was there and then it was gone! Hijacked to some site seeking to sell me on how much I needed viagra. Ugh! Some spyware had attached itself! With some effort it was removed, but the opportunity, the moment was lost forever!
Isn't that how life is sometimes! We long for those special moments! We long for all to be right with the world. The sad news is that the not all is right in the world. The good news is that God is control no matter what the world or our current status happens to be. Psalm 46:10 says: "Be still and know that I am God"
I shut down my computer. Sipped a little more of the morning blend, and then I closed my eyes and quietly slipped into His Presence. Though that moment was lost, there will be other moments. Right now I will give thanks enjoy this moment.
Take some time today to just be quiet before the Lord!!!

was that "ugh...another unnecessary viagra ad" or "ugh...i need viagra?"
just curious...
b.t. - my question is - why did you feel you needed to ask the question?
Because I wanted to put you in the awkward spot of deciding whether or not to post the question.
Hey, PB! I can appreciate the viagra comment.
We get so bombarded with all those dopey ads that it has become a growing....?.never mind. More on that later.
Getting to more important matters...In your blog, you used the term...GOD IS IN CONTROL. I believe, unfortunately, and I'm just speaking from my experiences, that the flock, near and far, sometimes has a weak understanding of that term. It's as if they think God is there to work in our lives, like SPYWARE is supposed to work in our computers ... blocking and destroying every tragedy that may come our way, absolutely. Some things: tragedies, etc., are a result of one single day's beginnings. In other words the choices YOU MADE from the moment you woke up to begin the day that leads up to one single, tragic event, only to blame God for not preventing it from happening. Can we have an attitude of blamimg God for some things and still have good spiritual health? I don't think so.
I'm gonna leave it there, for now, as a cliffhanger. There is so much more I would like to write on this subjrct but I don't want to yawn anyone to death. OOPS! Too late.
Comments and critisisms welcomed.
