I had big plans for today. Here is how I planned out my work day:

buy clomid online clomid online generic

9:00 – 10:30 AM: Go to a client and drop off a new computer. Configure the PC and do a couple of other quick chores.
10:35 AM – 12:00 PM: Work on Web pages.
12:00 PM – 12:30 PM: Lunch.
12:30 PM – 4:00 PM: Work on Web pages.
4:00 PM – 5:00 PM: Finish up an article for my blog.
5:00 PM – ?: Dinner, family time, etc.

Here is how my day actually went:

9:30 AM: Arrive at client and configure computer.
10:00 AM – 4:30 PM: Try to fix a program on the client’s server that just so happened to stop working while I was there.

And that was that. I got absolutely no Web work or writing done today. How tragic. I will try to get some done this evening but am not holding out any great hope! But hey, at least I logged some good billable hours today so it’s not all bad…

One of the aspects of the Christian faith that I find particularly perplexing is the freedom God gives his people to obey him in different or even opposite ways, so that one person’s obedience is another person’s disobedience. Even as two people take the same action, one might be obeying him and the other disobeying…

Strong to the End

You have probably heard of Davy and Natalie Lloyd, even if the names aren’t immediately familiar. In May 2024, you most likely heard the news about two young American missionaries to Haiti who, along with one of their Haitian colleagues, were brutally murdered by one of the many gangs that dominate the country.
