Hi, Gang!
Here’s the haps:
If you tried to access the site earlier in the day or last night and weren’t able to connect, I apologize. There was an issue with the certificate the host provided but I think it’s all fixed. After the Godaddy ChatBot got me connected to a live person I was able to resolve my issue within a few minutes. That it took all day for me to look into it is due to the fact that I have a lot going on at the moment and the Season is upon us.
Even though I don’t feel that I or my family are overly materialistic and therefore we aren’t running around like crazy and going into debt for trinkets and baubles, there is still a lot to be done, even if it’s just for the youngest ones.
I’m posting a link to the series of stories I wrote a couple of years ago about the life of Jesus’ stepfather, Joseph, and have found a very useful little tool that lets me rearrange the order of posts in a given category so I can make it easier to click through from start to finish. It’s a plug-in available to dot-org-ers called Post Types Order. Due to large amounts of stupid (by stupid I mean just completely random – not targeted at all) spam in the comments on older posts I have had to set the blog to turn off comments after a certain amount of time. If you do read (or in some cases, dare I think it? re-read) my story, you are always welcome to comment in a current post or even drop me an e-mail at herbthiel at gmail dot com. Saying that makes me shudder a bit because I know that in my audience, both in the past and currently, there are highly educated people, authors, editors and even English teachers and other educators. I hope you will find my offering up to snuff. Once upon a time it was to be a book…
Anyway, here is the link to the category called Joseph retelling, consisting of the 13 parts of the original and here are a few memes to help make the season bright as well:
I like comments and try to respond to them all if I can:
