Brian Glass, our church IT and all-around great helper, suggested I switch from Internet Explorer to Firefox. It's up and running and no problems. Thanks, Brian!
I learn well by trying things out and experimenting. When I stumbled onto Firefox extensions, I felt like Lucy standing in the wardrobe, noticing that some place very big had opened up. Now I have my weather hovering under my cursor (current, tomorrow, the next day, and warnings) and a neat feature that turns addresses in Fellowship One into Google map links. No more excuses for not having the umbrella or getting lost!
The extension I've added that really has me thinking, though, is a real-time action report of every earthquake. I now know where an earthquake occurs, how strong it is, and watch my browser screen shake proportionally. Hmm, a magnitude 2.7 just hit in Nevada. Glad I'm east of the mighty Mississippi.
I live in a house built on concrete footers (extra thick), drive to the church and offices on a combination route of gravel, blacktop and concrete, sit at a desk perched over 2 stories above bedrock, and even walk back and forth between office and car on paving bricks and concrete. It's all felt pretty solid, until now.
This Firefox extension has me thinking: what am I assuming is nice and stable, but may sneek up and shake me around? (Look out. Another quake in Nevada…a bit stronger this time at M 2.9.)
I'm grateful for this promise: "God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: 'The Lord knows those who are his…'" (2 Timothy 2.19 NIV)
