[Psalms34]

*** GONG ***

On topic.
​

Go gong yourself, I know what you meant by that (the 8 ball), you do that quite often, don't think it goes unnoticed. That would be considered on topic, you know, but usually I don't say anything, but I'm on the frustrated end right now.

[Psalms34]

Eh nm. Screwdriver + pliers + hammer + blowtorch + mallet + jaws of life… = a seemingly working monitor again.
Note: don’t try that at home kids, CRT’s/TV’s can kill. I’ve had professional training to work with them (long ago), but even then I will very seldom open a case beyond a desperate situation.

Hey, since I mentioned I was reworking part of my design docs and adding to them, here is the brief version of the class descriptions. I added the final two this week, being the Theologian and the Psalmist since I needed a total of six. Had been deciding on what to call the Theologian class (now called that), and whether to use a musician or a pet trainer class… either one being hard to develop. There will probably still be pets, but just not a devoted class for it, and I cant add more classes unless I add to Eph 6 which I don't plan to do. Anyway, these short descriptions of course go onto a fancy graphic sorta like a photo ID style with the class image/icon. The rest of the classes have been decided on for years and some used in my MUD long ago. Disciplines are a class focus for training, so like Prayer Warrior will have quests and trials that deal more with righteousness, be it learning from bible passages or applying what is learned to situations within the game world. Yup, biblical counseling and discipleship run-a-muck

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord,
are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.

A Fragrance of Christ to Every Person
​

Now thanks be to God who…through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. To the one we are the aroma of death to death, and to the other the aroma of life to life. (2 Corinthians 2:14-16)

[Psalms34]

Here is a sample of the zone names, just to give a better sense of where those player classes will be engaging in spiritual warfare. First set are hazard zones, this is just a small sample of names from the main list. Second section contains some of the dungeon names. Of course you can see I have a naming convention going on. Also, not shown here, there are city and superb zones. Some zones I have designed with maps and content, but most are still WIP as there are a total of 40 zones and 20 sub-zones in design stages. A lot of zones, EverQuest only launched with 30 main zones, but not all of mine are as large and detailed, though some will be.

Hazard zones:
Desert of Sorrows (DOS)
Swamp of Sickness (SOS)
Woods of Grief (WOG)
Planes of Doubt (POD)
Mountains of Condemnation (MOC)
Pass of Fear (POF)
Hills of Discouragement (HOD)
Desert of Desolation (DOD)
Forest of Contempt (FOC)
Lake of Drought (LOD)

Dungeons:
Abomination
Cursed
Destruction
Forsaken
Terror
Wrath
Vengeance

The conventions are what I’m really trying to hammer out at this point of course. Not just names, but how content flows and dialog is delivered so that the player is exposed to a balance of biblical subject material that will be fun but not so repetitive for any given class.

A Fragrance of Christ to Every Person
​

Now thanks be to God who…through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. To the one we are the aroma of death to death, and to the other the aroma of life to life. (2 Corinthians 2:14-16)


The fragrance of Christ is one of the great characteristics that God wants to build into our lives by His grace. "Now thanks be to God who…through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge." This spiritual aroma, which results from getting to know the Lord, blesses the heart of God. "For we are to God the fragrance of Christ." The Father loves to see the life of His Son being expressed in and through our humanity, even though this requires our dying to self. "For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh" (2 Corinthians 4:11).,,,

 

[IisJustMe]

Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let
us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable
service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire.
-- Hebrews 12:28, 29

[Psalms34]

ugh, Oh well, it was seemingly fixed, but the monitor is pretty burnt now.

Managed to fix it again, sort of, dropped resolution to 800x600 which seems to be clear. Unfortunately my main development tools/apps won't work at any res lower than 1024x768, but still allows me to code, script and write

Godly Sincerity in General
​

We conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you. (2 Corinthians 1:12)


God not only wants our lives characterized with godly sincerity toward His word, He desires to mark our lives with godly sincerity in general. "We conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity...and more abundantly toward you." As the Apostle Paul and his missionary team evangelized throughout the known world, and as they ministered among the churches, they functioned in both arenas with simple, Christ-like genuineness....

 

[IisJustMe]

But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may
be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good,
and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous ...
-- Matthew 5:44, 45

Ok, the title of this pic was "Hillbilly Evangelism" ...

Is that redneckian for "It is finished" ?

Jeff Foxworthy's definition of a redneck is:
"an intentional lack of sophistication"

However my kids say:
If you can name 10 perfectly good uses for bailing twine or your vehicle is in some way held together with said bailing twine you can call yourself a redneck...

[Psalms34]

Not all who have ears are able to hear, and not all who have eyes are able to see. I'm sure all those of Noah's day were blind, deaf and dumb, but that apparently was no excuse, they were all destroyed. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
