I use Firefox and I love it!!
My tables always turn out really well
with Firefox! (I think)

[Billie]

Such a pretty scene, with the water and the sunset and the cowboys and the wonderful horses!

[jaycee]

That is so cute, Amy.

[tiapam]

Glad you liked it, Billie!

Grandma thanks you.

LOL! They look good when I see them!

Mine were created in IE, though, and that probably affects
the color and some of the graphics....AND the music!

[JustAmy]

Thank you. Hope you Mother’s Day was wonderful too, Tiapam.

[JustAmy]

LOL

[JustAmy]

Thanks, Jaycee.

I think today’s opening is a re-run from 2 years ago. I have some wonderful Openings that can be used again.

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Kitty.
So good to see you today.
That is a sweet little bluebird. Thank you.

Hoping you had a Tweet Monday.
Have a relaxing evening.

[JustAmy]

Ahhh .... Thanks, Yorkie. I love your energetic cheerleader. :^ )

[JustAmy]

Woof!



Good evening, Potlatch.
Woof also means 'great to see you!'

Hope your Monday was Marvelous.

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Dubya.
Thank you for sharing "The Lighthouse" with us.
You shared a glorious message with us.

Have a wonderful evening.

[JustAmy]

LOL

I’ve felt like that graphic a few times. :)

[JustAmy]

Thank you. What time and what station is Dancing with the Stars on? I’ve only watched it a couple of times.

Enjoy your evening.

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Jaycee.

I’ve been using some old graphics. I thought everyone might be tired of mine. I haven’t made any new ones for a few days.

[yorkie]

JC, anything you POST turns out good! And, who knows if it’s FireFox or IE? As long as it turns out good, I don’t think anyone is too concerned!

And yours are all GOOD!!

Dilbert

READ: Ephesians 6:1-6

. . . not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart. —Ephesians 6:6

Cartoonist Scott Adams has become famous for his humorous cartoon strip “Dilbert.” He also wrote a book in the 1990s called The Dilbert Principle. In it he mocks technology, leadership fads, and incompetent managers. Many laugh out loud at the connections the book makes with their own work-a-day world.

Regarding employee laziness and deceit, the author writes: “When it comes to avoiding work, it is fair to say I studied with the masters. After nine years . . . I learned just about everything there is to know about looking busy without actually being busy.”

Believers, however, have a much higher calling when it comes to dealing with employers. In the Scriptures, we are encouraged to exhibit a respectful attitude toward those who supervise us: “Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ; not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart” (Eph. 6:5-6).

The right work ethic begins with a heart of sincerity in which we consider Jesus Christ our employer. We please Him when we diligently serve our boss and others in the workplace.

Whatever task you find to do,
Regardless if it’s big or small,
Perform it well, with all your heart,
Because there’s One who sees it all. —Sper

No matter who your boss is, you are really working for God.

Bible in One Year: 2 Kings 13-14; John 2

Good Morning and Thank you as always Mayor. I love that familiar cup of coffee each morning!

[Billie]

Aw, jaycee, don't cry. :(

You're building them with Firefox, so you will see them exactly the way you intend them. :)

My problem (and Luv's obviously) is that we have always used IE to create and preview the tables and colors, and then are shocked to see that some of them don't look right in Firefox. (as Meg's green text and table bgcolor last week)
