Yesterday our daughter arrived, with her two children. Her husband is in the northern reaches of Manitoba working on railway mechanics.
Grandchildren are a real blessing. Ours are three months and three years. One is learning to smile. The other has “no” down quite well.
They will stay for a while. That will depend on how long our son-in-law is in the wild and wooly north! But until they leave, may this be a great time together!
Yesterday I heard some of you could not find my blog on the internet.
I zipped of a message to my service provider. He calmly replied by email that my domain name had expired.
Amazing what a mere broken electronic link can do! I was placed into internet ether space — far from your browser and unable to transcend the strictures of time and space to make it to your place.
Now the link is back, for a mere pittance of money placed in the coffers of those who register domain names such as www.ronbaker.ca.
So, I’m back and have not expired, although my next possible expiry date is two years from now. At which point I will probably, once again, forget to renew my domain name — until someone points out to me that I’m no longer there!
But until then, read on.
BTW: Facebook is now advertising that you can restrict who you talk to on Facebook. Or at least they are letting you know that you can send messages/create a wall that only a select few of your friends are able to access. My question is whether people will take advantage of this option — or if they even think that any conversation needs to be restricted.
I’ve been off to our Senior Pastor’s Network for the last day or so! We are a group of six at the moment, with two more joining us in the fall.
Our discussion centered on our own lives, with prayer and concerns leading us to expect God to work in our lives. As well, we talked about what spiritual community is. A lot of good thoughts that are still mulling around in my head.
For years I’ve wanted to find a way to power a small battery (particularly for a heart pacemaker) without having to change the battery or to plug in.
It appears that Nokia is coming close to doing just that with some of their cell phones. If it works, this would be a great breakthrough (and I can stop dreaming about being that great inventor who saves the world!!).
