All because of one little buggy line out of place on my main home page when viewing it with the IE browser, I decided to see if there was a newer version of my theme. What’s wrong with installing an upgrade before bedtime when it’s so fast to do? Nothing… provided that you’re not too tired to think clearly.
Finding solutions to problems is addictive. It can be like gambling in that random rewards have the capability to cause repeated behavior more than being consistently rewarded every time. Because I’m that way with technical issues, I keep at whatever it is until it’s fixed. That means ignoring as much as I can that gets in the way of my task at hand; no matter how many hours, or days (sometimes — but not lately — weeks and even months) it takes!
Well, by the time I approached upgrading my theme, my brain had already been running a marathon and a half. I kept thinking the finish line is just around the next bend… one more step, one more step. The nightmare was that the finish line for my project was like a carrot dangling at the end of an invisible stick and I had to stop because my body no longer could stay in an upright position.
I didn’t realize I was forgetting to do something very important before installing the newer version (thanks being over-exhausted), so I also didn’t know that my nightmare was to be continued the next morning.
Almost always, I eventually adjust to the changes which come along from newer versions of programs… but it’s usually not fun or easy! However, when it comes to the English translation of the bible, newer versions should not replace the Authorized King James Version. They can be useful in their own way, but the KJV is as good as it gets!
You can tell I’m tired when I shift quickly from one topic to another, as I’m doing now.
It’s times like this it does a body good to remember how God works. Not too many days ago, I came across an example easy for me to relate to. It’s Phil A. Smouse’s translation from Oswald Chambers’ devotional My Utmost for His Highest. His heavenly book is called Jesus Wants All of Me and the day in particular is May 22,
“Why do I feel so lonely? What is God doing? God is answering prayer! Jesus prayed that I would be one with the Father just like He is. And now God is answering His prayer. He is letting me feel lonely so I will go closer to Him.”
“That they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us.” — John 17:21
Could it be time to get to bed for some sleep when it’s 3:33 a.m.? It must be time for this blog to be left alone for awhile. Maybe my site will go closer to Him because of it!
