BLOGGER ISSUES ... COULD SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!

UPDATE .... All things are back to normal again!
{Read post below image to see if you've been having the same problem once you're signed into Blogger}
Thanks to those who offered help! :)

FINALLY ... it's working now'!
Firefox just upgraded to 12.0, and I'm now seeing that I am signed on
in the upper right hand corner on my blog page!!
YAY!! 
I suppose it was a glitch with this ISP since it did work with Safari.
Hopefully this will help any other Firefox users who may have had this same problem!
Also woke up to the new interface, although in the drop down menu, to the right of your dashboard,
there is an option to switch back to the 'old Blogger interface' ... at least for now, anyway!
Wondering how you all like it ... so far, I think I do. :)

I'm also wondering if anyone here is planning to, or might be using Google+,
and what your thoughts are on that ... whether positive, or negative.

Have a blessed week!

Now, ... I'm seriously done with this post!! 
Going to go enjoy this beautiful spring day!




Hello all! Praying you, and yours had a blessed Easter, and are enjoying some wonderful spring weather! We've had quite a few storms, and an early spring, with some summer temps, already!! Today, though, it's windy and much cooler ... very refreshing!!

Well, it's been a little while since I've posted, and I've certainly missed it, and missed visiting with you all, as well!  Sure hope you're all doing well ... we're still walking through some difficult things with our family, but God is just showing us more of himself through it all!  That's the way God's grace and mercy usually works, isn't it!!  He is ever faithful!!

Now to the other reason I'm posting ... after signing in to catch up, I notice I seem to be having a problem with Blogger, here!! I'm wondering if anyone out there who reads this, might know of a solution, or a certain site I could contact, or if maybe you've experienced this same frustrating dilemma ..... issues with my blogspot.com site page, and being signed into Blogger!!

I have two ISP's (web browsers) ... one is the ever popular 'Mozilla Firefox', and the one that came with my computer, 'Safari' by Apple. I usually use Firefox for most of my Internet work, because I really like it better than Safari.  I have a desktop iMac, and haven't had any trouble for over a year with either of these browsers, until yesterday, that is!  I've looked for help all over the Internet, but have come up empty handed thus far. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, hence; I'm sending out an SOS here, in hopes of some answers!

First of all, I have absolutely no trouble signing into Blogger with 'Safari' ... I can sign into all my Google accounts from there, get gmail, go to Blogger, get to the dashboard, edit, post, etc, etc. ...

.... but, unfortunately, 'Firefox', is 'half' of a different story!  I am able to sign into my Google accounts, get gmail, go to my Blogger dashboard, edit post, etc., but when I click on to 'VIEW BLOG' from the dashboard, or any of the other pages I can access from the dashboard, I can see my blog page, however; in the upper right hand corner it says 'CREATE BLOG' and 'SIGN IN', instead of my 'Email Address', 'New Post', 'Design', 'Sign Out' .... the items that normally show up along the top right of your blog page when you're signed in!!  Well, that's what is so confusing, because, I am already signed in!!!  Then when I click 'SIGN IN', it takes me directly back to my dashboard page, which shows that I am signed in! ?!!  I can do all the normal things from the dashboard, just can't edit any posts that I've added from the site itself, only through the dashboard. It's totally confusing, and I have to say, frustrating!! I'm wondering if it's something to do with Firefox, since I can access all other parts of my account, but I haven't a clue as to what that could be! I've been trying to find out more from Firefox, and Blogger, but as I said, have come up empty handed! I've even cleaned out all history, cache, etc., rebooted ... but to no avail! :( I haven't switched to the new interfacing yet, either, but still I don't think that would have much to do with it ... at least I don't think!!

I am hoping it's just a 'glitch' with Blogger and it will be fixed soon, but, if anyone does see this, could you be so kind and please come and comment? I'm hoping that you all are even able to see my site to read and comment on! Guess this is what I get for not being more faithful around here, huh?!  I do hope this all isn't too confusing to you, either ... I tried my best to explain my problem, so, if you have any suggestions, or can help in ANY way, I would be forever grateful!!

Blessings,
~ Deborah

Photo Tutorial | LR3 and LR4 | Streaming Live Today ... FREE!!

Laura Shoe is over on Ustream sharing an abundant amount of information from a recent 3 day tutorial on both LR3 and LR4!  It is a recorded session, and they are repeating it today only, as far as I can tell ... and it's FREE to watch!!  If you use either of these editing programs, struggle with some of the tools like I do, and if you have any time today, I highly recommend clicking on over!  It's so worth it ... Laura is a wonderful teacher, and there is classroom involvement with questions, hints, and tips!

If watching here on my page, be sure to scroll down and pause the music, otherwise, click on over to Ustream!  Hope you can benefit from this, as I have! I discovered this through an email last night (Sunday), and stayed up into the wee hours of the morning watching, trying to absorb it all, not realizing they were repeating it all again today!  I believe there are about 18 hours of video, and if you don't get a chance to see all of it, you can purchase it at a very reasonable rate!!  Hope you all have a blessed week! :)

Scripture & a Snapshot ... Week 75 | The Knot Prayer






Dear God,

Please untie the knots that are in my mind, my heart, and my life.

Remove the have nots, the cannots, and do nots.

Erase the will nots, may nots, and the might nots that may find a home in my heart.

Release me from the could nots, would nots, should nots that obstruct my life ...

And most of all, Dear God, I ask that you remove from my mind,

from my heart, and from my life,

all of the “am nots” that I have allowed to hold me back.

Especially the thought that tells me I am not good enough.

- Amen -



I found this prayer to have an unknown author ...
but, when I read it today ... it was me.

... could it be you, too?



... and even so, in His Word, we find mercy, grace, and hope ...


Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah)

he is a new creation (a new creature altogether);


the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away.

Behold, the fresh and new has come!

- 2 Corinthians 5:17 Amplified -




I've missed a few weeks of this photo challenge, and it's good to be back,
even in the midst of life's challenges surrounding our family.

The encouragement I've found here in the past has been such a blessing
... and I'm in need of some now.

  As I walk through these difficult circumstances,
I'm learning to trust wholly in Him, and learning to keep my hands off ...
it's not always easy ... but, it's always better to let go, and let God!!
He knows far better than we can even think or imagine!

Hoping you all have a blessed week!
