Theology, Politics & Other Musings

“For another thing, let me warn all careless members of churches to beware lest they trifle their souls into hell.  You live on year after year as if there was no battle to be fought with sin, the world, and the devil.  You pass through life a smiling, laughing, gentlemanlike or ladylike person, and behave as if there was no devil, no heaven and no hell.  Oh, careless churchman, or careless dissenter, careless Episcopalian, careless Presbyterian, careless Independent, careless Baptist, awake to see eternal realities in their true light!  Awake and put on the armor of God!  Awake and fight hard for life!  Tremble, tremble and repent.”

- JC Ryle

I’m convinced God made tears salty so that our eyes would turn red when we cry so that others would notice and have an opportunity to minister to us.

So it’s been awhile.

Let me explain briefly the long intermission from blogging.

When I last tried to login in around the middle of June I received a 500 error stating I had a server issue. Ugh. I knew that was not good and might take awhile to fix. I also knew that once I started working on it, my site would likely be down and inaccessible.

This being the case, I didn’t want to start working on it and run into a snag and not be able to fix it right away. People might think my blog was no longer in existence (and how could they possibly go on with life without my blog–sarcasm) and the few links I had to my site from google search terms might be lost and other blogs pointing to my site might erase their link to my site.

So I’ve wanted to post for awhile but finally had an opportunity to set aside a large block of time and fix the issue.

And to tell you the truth, I’m not sure what exactly I fixed, but now it works. I believe it was primarily my host server running php version 4 and WordPress wanting version 5. That along with a potentially corrupted file(s) which was not allowing me to login to my own site.

So, all that to say, I’m back!
