Going Native - Sabbath Post

Sabbath Post

This is a big day for me. Along with my study of Christ's Seven Letters to the Churches in Revelation, have decided to commit the studies to my first webpage. Am building this on my local drive until I can afford an account to have my own domain. Three of about ten primary sources for my studies in Revelation are the Holy Bible, Koinonia House YT videos and this website.

My brother's have spoken of GoDaddy.com and I will look at this homepage in a few minutes. Google has a site to help me. There are many things yet to learn before I am qualified to put my thoughts up onto our web. A whole list if I am to write my own site and not rely on someone else's templates, for instance. There are many machines that can view web sites that have to be considered. Accessibility is most important. And some folks are running different versions of windows; older versions display sites differently than newer versions. Network speed has to be considered also. Different factors that need to be developed, by me, in order to have a quality site. And am still learning to float different portions parts of my page to where they belong. So anyway, I have a long way to go before I am ready to have a site.

This afternoon, my focus will be the letter to the Ephesians at the beginning of Revelation Chapter 2. I have plenty of jumbled up notes that need to be committed to html. This will take plenty of work and time. This is where I am this Sabbath.Am looking at stuff to build my own pages, and it seems to all be cell phone orientated. Am wondering why? Can't see anything on a cell. Nor can one hear anything on a cell, unless tiny ear-piece speakers are added. I could listen to audio on a cell without having to bother looking at the screen. For me, this would be best.

Am going through W3school's html text formatting section. Reminding myself and having a review. Been looking at the "review" for 30 minutes. There is a bunch of stuff for my to learn. Buttons, forms, and other stuff. Will spend time on this, and think I will go through the CSS list of topics also.

Studies 5

Lon's Statement Of Faith

The time is 0535 hrs and I have been studying for Sabbath. The time period of the Jewish Maccabees, and the Greeks, Antiocus III "the Great", Ptolemy V Epiphanes (married Cleopatra I) to help me understand Christ's Seven Epistles inside the Revelation of Saint John.This has been one area of intense focus, for me. Am interested in the rulers of this time period, the common people living normal everyday lives, and the whole ball of wax. From the time around 230 B.C through to 100 A.D. There is a lot of information available in cyberspace that was neglected during my studies prior to my higher learning endeavors.The Apostolic and Patristic Ages.

Of course, Alexander III the Macedonian and his defeat of Darius III of Persia... The Birth of Christ Jesus, and the Apostolic Age as directly co-related to the formation of Western thought are important areas too. My early studies were very good and am thankful. Getting older I began, after noticing a deficiency, to increase my knowledge of this historically formative era of Western civilization. This has been an ongoing project for many years.

This was not planned. The path I have been following since accepting the grace and salvation given to me by God through the death and resurrection from death of His Son, Christ Jesus, anointed by the Holy Spirit as His only begotten Son, before His birth as described thoroughly inside Luke Chapter One, has led me to this specific post. The former sentence is my statement of faith in eternal salvation given to me by and through Christ Jesus freely offered as an unearned grace. Anyway, that's said! It is very integral among the Orthodox to have a statement of faith. When younger, I misunderstood... "the" statement is not static, but fluid, and grows as I grow in faith. Never changing, but growing.

I have been led here. Everything is in place. My secular (temporal) life is stable, and with this computer (temporal) I have access to the teachings of countless bishops and deacons (ethereal), and with this computer I have access to people (the body) with their teachings (ethereal), from all over the world. Having this daily weblog to post thoughts is so very valuable. I would hope that people add their own thoughts as comments below. When I would choose that someone read a specific post, I can ask an acquaintance to look at a post, and anyone can read the post. Blogger is phenomenal!! Thanks folks.

So tomorrow I will continue with my source studying. Today will be work on my customized homepage, and ///C:/ tasks. Need to start exercising more though. Am spending a lot of time here at the desk and I do not think this is good for health because it is too sedentary. Maybe this thought would make a decent post topic? Exercising in order to be a healthy blogger.

UPDATE: It appears that people are actually hitting this log post. Yaaaay! Three of about ten primary sources for my studies in Revelation are the Holy Bible, Koinonia House YT videos and this website.
