PARADIGM SHIFT

19 JANUARY 2020

After years of
just logging airplane diaries
one after the other,
it is time to flip my world
upside down, best stuff last;
at least the most recent(:

DIARY

FRONT AND CENTER

17 DEC 2021

Here we go again, diary or blog, blog or diary, blah blah blah. The blogs are easier without web code, but maybe my life coach wants this to continue to restore and build order in my life. Some may think my flying passion is a waste in such a crazy world, but not to defend myself, it has been the one hard discipline to establish order at least in that venue (btw, it has been hard and frustrating). As a web guy says about installing flight sim systems,
let's take this to another page. My question is, what page what blog; time to reduce,
combine and restructure all my writing.
Where to begin...Blogs maybe.
WAIT. FREAK...WHY IS MY WEBCODE NOT WORKING ?!?!? Ah me lad you cannot rectify left columns, with "align center" without some much more complicated code. OK enough already.

SIDE TRACKED (off center)

12 APRIL/EASTER SUNDAY 2020

Recently I wrote about the contrast between macro and minor worries, or in our
street language, monster and minor worries. The illustration was given of a
young girl losing her boyfriend during the Vietnam War (not killed,
but a dead relationship) .
So in each of our lives there may be major issues and lesser issues; the lesser
may be just inconvenient or impact the major ones. Leave no stone unturned.
So as Mary and I approach her trip to Sudbury cardiac in two days, guess
what?...
Our fairly new vehicle's brakes went south, two days before a four day long
weekend, during a pandemic. Plus the closest dealer was closed even
before the holiday( 2 hours away).
The key here was the availability of correct parts. It will be fixed,
just not in my timetable. Hum, is that prophetic on the larger stage?
In the meantime, friends and neighbors have offered loving help. Thank you.
This is the LONGEST holiday weekend in history - some
holiday !
Now to celebrate EASTER.

OUR ULTIMATE SWEETHEART

23 March 2020

  I am keeping this page style FRONT & CENTER, because my/our/your trials are
FRONT & CENTER.
Our Lord is our ULTIMATE SWEETHEART.
Who will never leave or forsake you.
Who never waffles.
Knows the end from the beginning.
###
You and I may seek, chew on and vet our belief systems, our traditions.
Fortunately we have been given enough REVELATION to coach us through our
time here in the schoolhouse of life. If we had a committee of the 100 smartest
minds of the last century or indeed all the centuries it would not be enough to
survive the occupation of Earth by the gangster rebellious angels.
PTL our day is coming and their day is coming.

MY SWEETHEART

29February 2020 (leap year)

Keeping this centered because of Mary's situation, which has
knocked us off our tracks.
I have been silent here for a week because of the situation.
Last week she had a heart cath and they determined she needs
by-pass surgery.
The good news is they found the situation and have a course
of action. Her symptoms were essentially silent and/or masked,
as is ofen the case with some women.
So we wait for a call back from the hospital.
I could notice the effect of the many prayers, for things
like good weather for driving, accomodation and all the loving
help - especially for our pup Hunter.
Thank You Lord and everyone.

THROUGH IT ALL

17 February 2020

Perhaps you remember the Xian song "Through It All"
I heard it first in 1972 while on a course with
Youth for Christ.
My cyber rabbit trails have continued with adventures
in fixing and learning; between Windows and Linux,
mostly landmines in Windows stuff. Relearning my late
neighbour mentor's teaching and tips. 1-800-HEAVEN now.
### (my signature thought change, which I should use
when chatting..."new thought Mary, ok?"
###
There have been serious time outs to contend with
ICE DAMS on two of our four roofs. UG.
We are winning.
###
Mary is going to the cardiac unit on Thursday 20th
for tests and possible intervention...
So no preaching, no cyber flying, just the basics.
###
PS I moved some stuff around on main page, not to be cute,
but trying to fix redundant or confused links. Pray for my
head banging - a sign of insanity. Hum good theme for a
blog article.

THIN PLACES

19 JANUARY 2020

Tonight we watched more about the Celtic Revivals and history from post
Roman times (even into the twentieth century).

MIA CYBER FOREST

23 JANUARY 2020

I was editing and building anotherfolder and after a few hours work
hit the save button and the system went gonzo. Too bad it was not here
in the clouds sob sob.
So in the meantime we have had SNOW, out of town trip, SNOW, tear pc box
appart, SNOW, sing out to people mostly older than us, SNOW...
And reluctantly dreaming of SPRING.
Can I get the next serious folder up for you?

11 JANUARY 2020
Everyday is a new gift, a new opportunity...old manna does not cut it.
We and our network of pilgrims have had serious challenges and some
wonderful reversals of health and events.
Tragedy has hit local citizens.
This communication tool went into cyber space while working on code repairs.
By the grace of God and helpful agents we are rebuilding, howbeit we are
creating.
When you are living in your GOLDEN years, "time flys" indeed...
It has been a year since my dear neighbour and cyber mentor passed away.
I found it hard to even turn on my pc for a long time, just from the pain.
And I was almost frozen from fear of what happens when stuff goes south,
"who are you going to call?" Certainly not ghost busters and not more
savvy pros at $50 an hour. Back to the future, were it all started in 1985,
when one missed keystroke meant nothing happens, not even a warning note.
Gosh, various versions of Dos would not even start and run without the right
syntax. No we only worry about "sin tax."

###

An amazing sense of peace and help has come to me from the unseen realm.
My old computer stuff is working better than a rubics cube.
I actually found a lovely gaming video card given to me by my late friend;
it provided an opportunity to resurrect my flight simulator hardware to
work incredibly better.
It is like by the grace of God my friend left a legacy* for me.
(* "legacy" is a nickname for older equipment or software.
So "Its not about me" - What about you?

###

Where is my bucket list?
Off to make repair to a local domestic problem, boots to the boogie man.

14 JANUARY 2020

So the boogie man has been an ice dam on the
roof...
Electric wires around an area and insulation    
in skylight actually compounding the problem.
UG
More Red-Green engineering...
          How about, "Lord can you download ideas?    
in the short term AND long term
(the latter must wait until summer).

PROSPERITY GOSPEL

17 JANUARY 2020

So in some of the circles I roam there is distain for North American PG,
but is it misunderstood, mismaligned. Are we being disingenous and
hypocritical? We don't really believe it or we would ditch our second
pair of socks or the extra TV at least.
No the problem is as Bob Dillon sang in "Slow Train Coming"..."You got to
serve somebody" (Hum God, self or the Devil).
In my daily observations of family, friends, neighbours or news media I
see a need for a "SURVIVAL GOSPEL"
Another story for another day.
