I forgot to set the blog to ping weblogs.com. That has been taken care of now, and I should ping with updates.

As I was driving in to work this morning I was amazed at how beautiful it is today - cool and sunny with puffy white clouds in a clear blue sky. We haven’t had a day like this in ages. And I was listening to Nicole Nordeman’s Woven & Spun CD. There’s a song, called My Offering that was perfect for the moment - praise to the Creator from His creation. She’s a brilliant songwriter and I think it’s my new favorite song.

Here are the lyrics:

If You made me like the grass that is green
Growing tall and covering the hills above me
Maybe I would pray for sunshine and a little rain
To fall now and then to make me lovely
I could be a place where sheep could graze
Or barefoot feet could play
And I would grow and grow and hope You’d bend down low
To hear me sing my offering

Open up the heavens, open up the skies
All of Your creation wants to testify
I have a song so let the earth sing along
‘Cause I just want to praise You

If You made me to be a cloud in the sky
Found the perfect place way up high where I could hover
Maybe I would pray for skies that were blue
Or a sunset or two to show Your colors
Or maybe I might be
A mountian strong and steep
But I would try and stand as tall as I can
And I would sing my offering

Open up the heavens, open up the skies
All of Your creation wants to testify
I have a song so let the earth sing along
‘Cause I just want to praise You

And the sun every morning can not wait to shine
And the stars ever evening are all standing by to light the sky
Give the rocks and the stones voices of their own
If we forget to sing praises to our King

Open up the heavens, open up the skies
All of Your creation wants to testify
I have a song so let the earth sing along
‘Cause I just want to praise You

OK, the good news is that I can access both my webhost and pmachine at work. *relieved sigh* Also, the comments no longer require registration so feel free to speak your piece!

The bad news is my page looks horrible here at work, but it had to be expected with the Netscape 4.79 browser we use.

I’ve been told that when you click on a link in a post that it asked for you to register. I’ll have to figure out why that’s happening.

And there are a few other tweaks to the template still to come as I get used to it and figure out how I want this thing to finally look.

But I’m pleased so far.
