Yikes!

Ok, clearly I am having difficulties finding colors I can use! :)

My site may look a little style/color challenged over the next couple of weeks.

My apologies!

Please bear with me!

I am also working on my Princesses of Power site,

which has been a little more of a bear than I had thought

(as far as uploading pictures)

(it is taking like 30 minutes a pop - not the usual -bloop! and your done!)

I will do better tomorrow, Ya'll!

Stay warm! It's even cold here in sunny Florida tonight!

Brrrr! ;)

heidi @ ggip said...: The other thing I have noticed when changing colors is that they DO look slightly different on different computers.

I hope you find what you like!; January 2, 2008 at 8:37 PM

Joyful Days said...: You know I like playing around with colors! And changing things regularly--but it is a pain sometimes with fonts and color matching--especially older posts.

Is is a readability issue? Can you increase the font size a little? Would that help you out?

The blue is very nice.

Blessings,

Heidi, that is true, how does it look over there? Mainly, can you read it Ok?

Melissa! Brrr! Yes! Not as cold as they thought it would get, but, plenty! Roast any marshmellows yet? ;)

P.S. thanks!

Sharon! I like that! Why not? Thanks!

Thanks, Julie! I think I am getting the fonts thing figured now...you aren't kiddin' about changing old posts...what a pain! :) I am not done either, but, that's all I can stand for today! School starts Monday, back to the Real World! :)

Ya'll stay warm! Thanks for stopping by!

She Rose Up said...: Leslie, You should be a fly on the wall as I experiment, (with my dial-up no-less!) Certifiable is what I am! LOL!

But I love doing this! Glad to know it is more readable now! If you come across something you can't read, let me know (if you think of it!) I might have missed it!

Happy Friday!

What Does it Mean Anyway? "Free to Fly"...

Well, it's like this: Here are some of the Webster's Dictionary definitions of Free: a : having the legal and political rights of a citizen b : enjoying civil and political liberty c : enjoying political independence or freedom from outside domination d : enjoying personal freedom : not subject to the control or domination of another2 a : not determined by anything beyond its own nature or being : choosing or capable of choosing for itself...having a scope not restricted by qualification 7 a : not obstructed, restricted, or impeded ...Now, here are some of the Webster's Dictionary definitions of Fly:1 a : to move in or pass through the air with wings b : to move through the air or before the wind or through outer space c : to float, wave, or soar in the air ... a : to take flight ...6 : to work successfully ...Examples which apply from Websters: fly high : to be elated - fly in the face of or fly in the teeth of : to stand or act forthrightly or brazenly in defiance or contradiction of

What does this mean in my life? This means that in life we are meant to be free. While historically mankind has not always enjoyed the opportunity to fully appreciate what that means, we are so indescribably fortunate as to live in a time of the greatest spiritual, physical, financial and political freedom ever known. Freedom doesn't come cheap, nor does it come easy. But the best things in life don't come that way do they? As I write this I am struck by how this sounds like a political statement, and for me this is much more of a spiritual thing, but, same goes for that (political that is). Freedom doesn't come easy. And it's worth whatever fight you have to make to overcome in your life in order to live a life that succeeds. Now the questions is - what is success for you? What is your standard? In my mind what is needed is a definite target - because you can't hit and maintain a moving target. A stable, rock-solid, anchor with no variable, yet multi-faceted. Something pure, just and worthy. If you look at any web page of news you can see that our society is certainly lacking in this area. What a great time to live as a rebel! Nowadays to be a rebel, all you have to do is be willing to engage in the battle of life, while anchored to Christ!
