Instead of napping, I designed this
I may need to nap now
God has blessed you @Magenta !
Thank you, Bob, it is nice to see you as it has been some time...
I am sorry to hear you are not well now
I am not caught up in getting any of my recent designs on my thread
But some of them are here (<= link) if you would like to have a boo
You are welcome. It may get Biblical, as anything can, but is it a Biblical topic?
If it could be presented as such, the BDF may be appropriate as well. We have
had those topics here before, though I cannot say which forum they were in.
Here are a few:
Hillsong a cult? - Christian Chat Rooms & Forums
Bethel and Hillsong is from the Devil - Christian Chat Rooms & Forums
Hillsong, Bethel and Elevation, not churches? - Christian Chat Rooms & Forums
Hillsong leader about to renounce his Christian faith - Christian Chat Rooms & Forums
I did a thread title search for "Hillsong"
The search function is the last icon on the upper right hand corner of the page.

I remember coming onto the Sterling Ranges from the east. They were covered in a necklace of clouds. And then I hit the coast, and seeing those huge rocky ledges leaning down into the sea, looking foreboding in the overcast skies, I thought I must have made a wrong turn and somehow ended up in Scotland!

I'm really glad that the day worked out well for you in the end Willow.
I agree, arguing won't help, I've given up trying to corral my family into Christianity, and only Jesus can do that anyway, and He won't force anyone to believe in Him.
As insulting as it sounds, trying to convince family that God is and that Jesus is who He says He is, it seems like you might as well tell it to a brick wall. Anyway, we are all responsible for what we choose to believe, and Jesus declared that a prophet won't be respected /believed by his/her own household. Doesn't mean that they won't believe a prophet that's not in the family of course, that is our hope and prayer for them.
May you have a good evening.
Reminds me of this great LP. I was once thick as a brick LOL. Biblical term is "stiff necked."
Best wishes in being a wonderful living example to your family and loved ones

Yes it does look Scottish or Irish looking. I dont think many Scottish or Irish live there though??
It was far too cold and rainy for me and when there was a sunny day to go to the beach you wouldn't enjoy it because the winds were too strong.
I moved to Perth instead.

Not unless they have very long tails and go boing boing boing through the scrub and rocks, or play RU for 'straylya.
I've been through the south a few different times. Last time was in 2009. I bought a motorcycle from a guy in Perth and rode it back, but this time went down the Albany Highway instead of the coast road to get to Walpole, then headed east. It was in August, so still a bit chilly, but the countryside was a mix of green fields and bright yellow/gold crops (Canola) with the greenery pock marked by dots of white (newly shorn sheep) every direction you looked, and as far as the eyes could see. Just brilliant. The south coast of Western Australia is one of my favourite places in Oz.

Yes I have done the trip many times over from Perth to down south to visit my sister. It is about a five hour drive 
I barely hit half an hour and I am already wondering "are we there yet"
Sometimes I listen to a sermon that I like. Once my sister in law loaned me a audio book called "tears of the moon" It is a fiction book on pearl farming in Broome by Di Morrisey. At first I thought "Oh how boring this will be" but she encouraged me to listen to it. I did and it was such a great book and the speaker was great too at reading it. I ended up buying the two sequels to it. That was years ago. I may dig it out again and listen to it. It was a fiction romance book based on the pearl farming in the early 1900's (I dont know the exact dating) but I highly recommend it.

My last laptop (which I am still in possession of) never had a properly functioning "T" key.My keyboard hates me
Ugh, the typos that came out of that! Not even proof reading would reveal all my mistakes.
Three years I lived with that, and then a fan started malfunctioning. I put up with that for
close to a year, as it got worse and worse to the point I could no longer tolerate the constant
grinding and whirring. My daughter gifted me a new(ish) laptop for Christmas last year. I say
"new(ish)" because she had given it to her dad the Christmas previous, but he had never used
it before he passed away right around the time my laptop was becoming intolerable. Between
the time of forsaking the noisy laptop and receiving the new laptop, I reverted to the laptop
I'd replaced before that one due to a completely unreliable wifi connection after it had been
twice dragged off my desk at work when the power cord got caught in my chair castors. Being
smacked on the floor is not good for laptops, apparently. Funny thing is, that aberration did
eventually correct itself, since whenever I used it as a back-up after replacing it, I never had
a problem getting online or staying connected! Oh, the vagaries of life!
But something else too: in trying to fix that wifi connecting problem before replacing the
laptop because of it, I reset my device to factory standard a couple of times. I did not lose
my personal image files and documents, which surely was a blessing, but I thought I needed
to replace the fonts I had downloaded onto it. And it was while I was searching out the fonts,
that I started seeing little things here and there that gave me the idea that I could perhaps
start making my own designs instead of simply adding text and/or a border to found images,
as well as perhaps correcting them for density and color. The latter two functions were what
comprised my main job description as a printer in photo labs, the only environment I have
worked from the day of my 21st birthday, a fact I had always considered a gift from the
"Spirit of the Universe," since I was a non-believer when I began my life's work.

No probs, thanks.
Yes, good things can come from where we don't expect them to come from.
That was marvellous you were able to get the system to run properly, and to find tools for exercising your artistic flair.
I'm not sure if I should get a proper keypad for the iPad, or invest in a new tablet. I'll see what the cost of keyboards are first, and if they're cheap enough I will give that a try. My editing skills could do with a bit of a polish too.

Have you ventured up to Broome?
Virtual keyboard, do you mean it is on your screen? Could you add a real keyboard? Even my recently new(ish) laptop had issues from the get-go. The touch pad would click down and not come back up, which would then freeze the whole keyboard, rendering the laptop completely useless. It began happening the first day I used it at my daughter's place on Christmas day, and continued to get worse over the next month to the point where constant hard resets would not fix it, at which point I sought out a solution online to discover that this has been an ongoing issue with Dell devices for at least eight years. One fix was to use a mouse instead. So now I do that. At first even that was a bit of an problem because I really had very little space to maneuver a mouse. So I taped a birthday card to the right front corner of my device to increase the real estate a tad. It helped by giving me a tiny bit of extra space, plus prevented the mouse from further degrading the laptop's surface.Seriously though M, I don't think I have the necessary dexterity to use the virtual keyboard on this ipad. I'm making heaps of mistakes. I've tried swiping but still not good. It is so frustrating.
Then on Good Friday my boss phoned me (after being laid off/retired for more than two years) to ask questions about the machine I had operated for the last 17 years I had been employed there. It had been completely shut down and non-operational since I'd left. I immediately suggested I come in rather than try help my boss set it up over the phone. We had a nice visit with each other as we worked through each problem as it was presented while getting the printing machine back up to being able to function as a scanner. Before I left, he offered me a half inch piece of foam board used for print mounting to act as a table top. It works great!
I hope you are able to find a work-around for your keyboard issues...
