Day Eight: Less Dust, More Fuss

Not a whole lot of new construction lately, but there is a lot of detail work happening while we wait and wait for our appliances and cabinets to arrive.
The cabinet hardware is on the cabinets that are installed. The wire is for the dishwasher.
This is is the island. It is three inches longer than the one we had before. We're fine with that.
The lighting has trim. The top of the pantry is in the background.
God has been good to us in that we have had the opportunity to eat with friends and family as our kitchen has been remodeled. We are praying that our appliances will be coming in this Thursday and that they are installed by the weekend. Nan is looking forward to cooking on the new range and I am looking forward to loading up the dishwasher and getting it going.

 It has been extraordinarily cold and snowy since the third day of construction. We have been shoveling the driveway a little bit more than usual to keep it nice and clean for the guys. These continue to be rare days that He is bringing our way. As much as we are looking forward to getting this done we are racking up a lot of experience with the remodeling and the way God has had us go about it. Hopefully we'll be able to come alongside someone who is thinking about doing the same thing. God doesn't waste these opportunities or experiences and we are looking forward to, at least, telling of His goodness and faithfulness to us through it all.

Nothing will stand in the way of the Word

  His Word shall live forever. The Word is a sword that pierces the heart And its truth is a light that cuts through the dark Of this world. Nations shall rise and nations shall fall But nothing shall stand in the way Of the Word.  - Iona I was young and now I am much older and there is one thing that I am more convinced of than ever. God's Word, the Bible, is the only truth that cuts through all of the darkness that this world offers me. Time-bound kingdoms, the ones that ruled over large swaths of this planet and even the one that currently commands the sons and daughters of disobedience cannot stand in its way.  The Word is sufficient in the ultimate and proximate sense as there is nothing of which it does not speak nor conquer. It's light, almost blinding at times, cannot be dimmed. Revelation after revelation, promise after promise, peace upon peace - it's all there and as it marches on it smashes the wisdom of the wise confounding the schemes of the clever.  Where is

tightvnc keyboard mapping problem in Ubuntu 9.04

Image
I have been, off and on, having an issue with the keys on my keyboard mapping to the correct values when using the tightvnc client when paired with the vncserver vino in Ubuntu 9.04. I am not exactly sure what keyboard layout the client and server was expecting, but it seemed like every time I restarted the OS the keyboard mapping problem would come back and I would be at square one again. Well, I think I have found the workaround I was looking for . Hopefully this will help anyone else that is having this issue.

The Boys of Summer

I can tell you My love for you will still be strong After the boys of Summer have gone - Don Henley, Boys of Summer Ah the boys of Summer. From where they come we scarcely know. But they arrive nonetheless with their blonde hair, blue eyes, and muscle beach physique. Their white teeth glint even in the rain and their voice rivals that of the storms that herald cooler, drier air. Their hands are firm, fierce, and tender. They know their business, whether a traveling carnival or beach to comb, and their seduction pull shakes even the most sure and forthright. What chance do they not offer? What delight do they not possess? What siren song have they not mastered? What freedom do they not promise? What spell do they not cast? Is there peril at which they do not scoff? Is there sweet fragrance that escapes them? What opportunity is there apart from them even in their wake? Their season is brief and then just you. Me. He. My Love proves strong during their wax and wane doesn't He? Doesn&
