Blue Truck, Red State: Help Request

Help Request

WTF?

The last few days, Blogger (long since bought up by Google) has been doing weird things behind the scenes that are working my nerves big time. Unfortunately, there is no official Help Desk to go to, but I am working with a volunteer helper to try to get to the bottom of this.

I'd like to ask my readers, especially my longtime truckbuddies who are familiar with the Blue Truck, to please let me know if they see any strange posts here, or if the BT does not display normally.

Thanks.

Frank said...: Nothing out of the ordinary from here. I know that on some blogs (I Should Be Laughing, for example) I have to switch to Chrome in order to post a comment and I can only post "anonymous" comments using my iPhone. So, there are quirks to sure. Hope you figure out what the problem is, if there is one. P.S. Have you been hacked? I doubt it judging by the fact that all appears normal.; November 17, 2022 at 3:17 PM
Russ Manley said...: I sure hope I haven't been hacked, since email has also done strange things, though my antivirus says all is well. But I'm in touch with a helper who is trying to sort out what the problem is. Thanks much for the feedback.; November 18, 2022 at 4:36 AM

Prayer for Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, harmony; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may seek not so much to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

Churches say that the expression of love in a heterosexual monogamous relationship includes the physical, the touching, embracing, kissing, the genital act - the totality of our love makes each of us grow to become increasingly godlike and compassionate. If this is so for the heterosexual, what earthly reason have we to say that it is not the case with the homosexual?

It is a perversion if you say to me that a person chooses to be homosexual. You must be crazy to choose a way of life that exposes you to a kind of hatred. It's like saying you choose to be black in a race-infected society.

If God, as they say, is homophobic, I wouldn't worship that God.
