Favorite Bible Passages I Heard Today

I heard a great passage today that I just had to share!

"Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the word of his servant? Let him who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God. But now, all you who light fires and provide yourselves with flaming torches, go, walk in the light of your fires and of the torches you have set ablaze. This is what you shall receive from my hand: You will lie down in torment."

Isaiah 50:10-11

That passage applies today as ever it did. Don't hoard your wealth but use it to glorify God. Test him in this and he'll reward you with more wealth to steward. Where do you place your trust? Insurance, possessions, your wit? Place your trust, hope, and faith on God!

I miss Carson!

Johnny Carson died. I used to watch him when I was very little. My parents never knew I stayed up that late.

By the time I was watching him, he apparently only came in on Monday's and was transitioning over to Jay Leno. At the time, I absolutely hated Jay Leno. I wanted Carson back.

All I remember now of Johnny Carson (besides my undying love for him) is his last show when all of those balloons started falling down. I was almost falling asleep lying down on my living room couch with the only light coming from the tv. I was crying my eyes out. I guess I must have known that was the last show.

Oh, yes, I do remember one other thing from Johnny's Late Night show. I remember Ed McMan (if that's his name) coming on all the time and always messing with his big nose. A typical thing a child would notice. (Oh, it's Ed Mc Mahan. I just saw him on ET.)

Boo hoo! Farewell Johnny Carson!

Mmmm... Hot Sauce!

Is my brother a chef? When it comes to hot sauce, he is!

Lots of Exotic peppers + A Few Tomatoes + A Blender + Some time on the fire + A bit of salt for taste = Some yummy green hot sauce! That boy has loved hot sauce since he was two years old. Tears'd be streaming down his face but he'd be wantin' more. Of course, he just has to use me as his taste tester. He comes up with the most interesting recipes. They are always fiery hot, but being the sister of a hot sauce freak gives you some resistance. A friend once dared me to eat one of those habenaros. That's supposedly the hottest pepper in the world. They were amazed I didn't freak out. I didn't tell them that habenaros were a common ingredient in my brother's hot sauce recipes. Hehe. Ok, enough self gloating.

It's almost two in the morning and the brother is cooking up a huge batch of it now. I've already tried a few chip fulls. Hehe. We agreed that it needed a whole lot more salt. It didn't have any. Plus I've got this chest cold, so as soon as I started smelling the onions he was chopping up, I went through a huge coughing fit. Had to take medicine, which I hate. (I have a ridiculous fear of taking common medicines, even Tylenol, unless I'm suffering too much.)

That reminds me of how much I embarrassed myself in church last Wednesday. I stupidly went without taking any meds and went through a whole coughing fit in class. I saw it coming on, and had to go to the bathroom before people started to ask if I was choking. Tears were coming out of my eyes too. They probably thought I was crying from embarrassment. As I was fleeing, numerous people called out to me saying, "You don't have to leave just cause' your coughing!" Oh! So bad. So bad. I never fail to do something stupid/embarrassing/wrong in class. That's besides the fact that I never say anything. I'm so socially inept! Ugh!

Mmmm. I smell that hot sauce. I think I'll go have another few chips...

Fixing Problems With Blogging and Hackers

Okay. Okay. I get it now.

Oh.... Well I've spent all night fixing the problems I was having with this blog. I deleted my clone blog and added the posts from that one to this giving approximate dates. I've reedited all my posts. I was trying to do it in a lot harder manner than was necessary. I was copying the html over to my computer, then going through it all to fix all the weird span tags that were opening and closing without doing anything. I soon got tired of that, and with that one long post about the hacker, I had to just give up. Then a light bulb went off. hehe. So I just went through it all and deleted every span tag, and reedited from scratch. Oh, what a relief. Now I know what it's supposed to look like. I'll stick to editing my posts after I'm done writing them.

Well, the hacker returned. I put my brother's screen name in my buddy list. He doesn't have his screen name anywhere else, just on the same comp I use. So when he pops up, I know. I've resolved to trickery. I know I shouldn't but I couldn't resist. I saw him pop up using his cell phone. Oh, hehe. I started typing real fast, saying, "Hey, bro! Wassup!". Before I sent it, I copied it. So then I started pasting and sending it over and over again. I think I got in about ten of them before he signed off. I really hope that he has to pay for text messages. Even if it's just a dollar. Oh well. Maybe he was even young and at school and got in trouble for it or something. I don't know. I better stop thinking too much of revenge. My bro is kind of a hot head. When he was on and that message popped up again saying he had signed in from another location, he started sending the guy IMs. He was just cussing him out and sending him messages one after another. Then my bro got kicked off of aol for it. He was back on before I got home, so I guess he's fine now.

Love ya'll!

Geocities vs. W3C Compliant and CSS

I've spent the last two weeks making one of my websites W3 validated and converting it to CSS at the same time. It took a while, but I made it. My website is completely converted and completely W3C validated. That is, until I uploaded it to my web host.

I really don't understand why geocities insists on closing tags that were never open. Look at any geocities website and you'll see that the server spits out a long list of ending tags. Why is this necessasary? Was there actually some kind of problem that made them start doing this? Did someone just up and decide one day, oh this would be a great idea! I don't mind the advertisements. I really don't. But is it too much to ask for to make the server generated scripts W3C compliant? They should have an option when you first decide to open an account with them that asks " Do you really know what you're doing?" Cause' I do know what I'm doing. I don't need any help from them. I can close my own tags.

I love my new site design. It's so much more professional looking. Visit www.geocities.com/spygirls575/ only if you are a girl.

Blogging and other mundane stuff.

Alright, I think I'm getting the hang of this blog thing. It's got a learning curve, but I think I've got it now.

So, I finally got my pictures up. The Hello people really need to explain the process step by step. It is not intuitive. I really like the Xanga sites, but they have advertisements and a lot of extra stuff that just makes the blogs too, hm, unprofessional. If BlogSpot and Xanga hooked up, then blogging would be a great experience! Xanga has great background music and the comment areas are neato. Blogspot has no advertisements, some great clean templates, and a domain name that can't be beat.

Plus, I don't know how I did this, but I have like two Blogs with the same name. My first few blogs won't shop up cause they are considered being in another blog. It drives me nuts. But, like I said, I think I'm starting to get the hang of this blog thing. Chow.

Mwah!

The Lost Kitty

I, of course, just had to tell you about my lost kitty!

I have two black cats. They are brothers and completely opposite of eachother. One is skinny, mean, and so stressed out that he licks his stomach and back legs to baldness. The other is big and fat. He lays around all day and eats anything in sight. Even the dog's kibbles'n'bits. Both are boys. The skinny mean one is named Felix and fatty is named Garfield S.

Well, neither cat has ever been out of the house for more than twenty minutes but yesterday, as we were coming back from getting food, Garfield S ran out of the house and started eating grass by the front porch. It was about six in the evening, and he never returned. Mom and I went out searching for him but it was dark and it was cold and we gave up. I searched a few more times that night but finally went to bed at midnight.

The next day, I took my dog out to search for him. I searched for him for at least an hour. I checked the streets, the bushes, everything. I was in the alley way behind my neighbors house when I spotted what looked like a black trashbag behind their trash can up by their garage. I went up to look anyways. I leaned over the trash can and saw black fur and my heart just hit the floor.

I moved the trashcan out of the way and got on my knees to look at him. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at me. I just talked to him for a bit. I didn't know what happened to him. He could of gotten in a bite and contracted rabies. I know I should get his shots more often, but he's an inside cat and never leaves the front yard. I also thought he had been hit by a car and dragged himself up behind the trash cans to die. I've had animals that had done that before, back when I lived in the country.

I talked to him for about two minutes. I was just so sure that he was near death. He didn't move any, just looked at me kinda' sad. Then, all of a sudden, he gave a nice big meow, got up, and slowly started walking home.

I've been keeping the other pets from bothering him too much, and of course, made sure he got plenty of food to eat. He missed two meals which is a big deal with that fat cat. I looked up the symptoms for rabies and other potential illnesses and I'm keeping a close watch on him, but he hasn't any symptoms and no visible injuries, so what am I to do? Oh, well.

My first blog... Yee Hee.

Well, lookey here... My very first blog. Not like I'd get another, but I'm still giddy. Heeeheeeheeeheee. Okay, dorkism over.

I've just been looking at all kinds of blogs. I was shocked to find out that almost everyone I am, um... aquainted with has there own blog! Of course, they had 'some fad blog site' that wasn't very clean and took forever to load. But just looking at what they wrote and all the people that enjoyed reading it just got me so excited! I just had to have my own! Well, just look at all of these exclamations, am I yelling or what.

While reading all of these blogs, I just kept thinking of all the things I wish I could post. Like the shocking thing that happened to my cat. Or all the dealing I've had trying to update the code on my other website. Yes, I have several, and now I get to add this one, heehee. And what about those games I keep trying to make. Ugh. I could go on forever, and now I can! Cause now I have a blog!

I promise I'll calm down by next week... maybe next month. Anywho. Anything and everything can now come to my lovely sweet blog. Bloggy, bloggy, bloggle, bloggest, blogget. Weboggle. Wait, that's just a fun game I play. Hey, have ya'll visited Weboggle? It's very addicting if you're into that kind of thing. http://weboggle.shackworks.com/ is where you'll find it. So, signing off for now. I'll probably come back in a few minutes. You know... cause I'm so excited.
