For some reason, I feel like I'm taking a big risk using Windows Spaces. No, I don't blame anyone here for the "worm" I got on my computer ... I'm just not sure where it's coming from. According to both the Geek Squad at Best Buy and my computer savvy brother, it's coming from somewhere on the internet. I've recently installed a couple of extra "armor plates", but who knows if anything will protect me. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens. I'm still around, just not spending as much time surfing the web or using any of the social networks (here, MySpace, Facebook, etc). I'm not going to leave, I just figure I'd take take some time to work on some of my other websites. I'll still be popping in from time to time.

I know a lot of my friends here use only Window Spaces for interacting with other people on the internet. That's cool. However, if you're looking for a place to share your Christian beliefs, debate theological issues, or just have a little fun, you're invited to join me and my friends at the Servant Chat forums. The URL is http://realservantchat.proboards54.com . Anyone can view the posts as a visitor, but if you'd like to participate by posting you have to sign up as a member. Right now we have a very small membership roster, but we hope to grow into a larger family and community. Check it out.

I don't agree with everything presented by John Calvin, but I was reading an article in Christianity Today in which some of Calvin's writing is paraphrased by Knox Bruce-Beza. The following is paraphrased from The Institutes of the Christian Religion and other writings by John Calvin. The ascended Christ reigns over the church and all societies but in different ways. In truth, the only "Christian nation" is the body of Christ as it is dispersed throughout all peoples and in all times. Confusion on this point has resulted in far-reaching consequences. At the present time, we are under a two-fold government, so that we do not (as commonly happens) unwisely mingle these two, which have a completely different nature. Christ's spiritual kingdom and the civic jurisdiction are things completely distinct. For now Christ's visible rule is a kingdom of grace, advancing through the proclamation of the gospel: the preaching of the Word and the sacrements. In this ...

One of my favorite things to do with a little down time is to play detective / mystery games on my computer. I've already played all of the CSI games. Recently, I've enjoyed the Agatha Christie games. I finished "And Then There Were None" and "Murder on the Orient Express". Currently, I'm working my way through "Evil Under the Sun", although I hit a small snag in that one. It seems one area of the game doesn't work properly on some computers without what is known as a game patch. I'm still waiting to hear back from the company to find out where I need to go to download that and, hopefully, be able to finish the game. I've been asked why I play those games. The first answer I give is because they give me a chance to exercise my brain. I get to do that when I'm writing, but there are times it's nice to sit back and play through a mystery someone else has taken the time to create. There seem to always be some parts of the games that make no sense, at ...

Hi everyone. I'm just taking enough time to let you know I propbably won't make it to anyone's spaces for a few days. I got a worm on my computer and had to redo the whole system. I'm in the process of getting all my programs and files back on my hard drive. NT AUTHORITY / SYSTEM If you start getting a message that the service and app control has to restart your computer and does so in 60 seconds, you probably have the worm. Your computer will restart, but you'll probably have to go through that five or six times before it stays on for any period of time. There are several versions of the worm which causes this problem. The one on my system was Rustock.AN . Some virus scanners will find it and remove parts of it, but it will come back or just keep working anyway. If you know a computer geek, they can probably find all the bits and pieces and get it off your system. If you don't know anyone to fix it your only alternative is to do what I did. Save all your important stuff ...
