(From Webster's New World Dictionary, 1976)

 

Last week, after feeling sluggish for a couple of days, I picked up my Bible and was reading in Psalm 119.  One phrase jumped out at me, and it is repeated many times throughout the psalm:  "Revive me....."   Sometimes it was, "Revive me according to Your lovingkindness", or "Revive me according to Your word.", among others.  In verse 50 it says, "This is my comfort in my affliction, That Your word has revived me."

 

It was so good to read that, and I enjoyed soaking in the Word for a good while that afternoon.  I made note of all the things the chapter cites that the Word does for us.  And, I made note of the writer's responses to the Word.  And after spending that time meditating on His word, I truly did feel revived.  My week turned around after this - with the prayer for revival running in my mind.

 

To follow-up on my last entry, I did manage to get some things done that day!  The kids were all huddled up on the couch when I walked into the family room.  They had books in hand, waiting to be read to.  How could I turn that down?  After reading, I did take a nap.  But, later in the day, got the kitchen cleaned up and looking better.  Just doing that much helped me feel better, too.

I am not usre if you can just copy and paste the photo onto your blog. I have never tried it but I assume you can't, otherwise why would HSB have a photo upload on the template section and storage for uploading. So if you want to do it that way, you need to have a small photo file size otherwise you use up all your precious space and the photos are too big to see anyways. Click on upload pictures and it will tell you what to do. Then select the picture in order to click on the button to write a post with it. I have always had difficulty with multiple pictures per blog entry. I always delete them.

Other people have commented on using flicker as well and it might be easier, I'm not sure. But with photbucket I just signed up. Uploaded a picture and it had the code in html (tag) already and I copied it by right clicking on my mouse and then when I typed up the post on HSB I pasted the photo where I wanted it placed. It worked great. However with my computer I can't paste with right clicking the mouse so I have to go up to the tool bar under edit and click on paste there. Hope that answers some of your questions! Thanks for stopping by!

How do you like Spelling Power. I am looking for a spelling program for my third grader.
