Shine Your Light

Isaiah 42:1-9
Here is my servant, whom I uphold
My chosen, in whom my soul delights;
I have put my spirit upon him;
He will bring forth justice to the nations
He will not cry or lift up his voice,

Or make it heard in the street;
A bruised reed he will not break,
And a dimly burning wick he will not quench;
He will faithfully bring forth justice.
He will not grow faint or be crushed
Until he has established justice in the earth;
And the coastlands wait for his teaching.
Thus says God, the Lord,
Who created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread out the earth and what comes from it
Who gives breath to the people upon it
And spirit to those who walk in it:
I am the Lord, I have called you in righteousness,
I have taken you by the hand and kept you;
I have given you as a covenant to the people,
Alight to the nations,
To open the eyes that are blind,
To bring out the prisoners from the dungeon,
From the prison those who sit in darkness.
I am the Lord God, that is my name;
My glory I give to no other,
Nor my praise to idols.
See, the former things have come to pass,
And new things I now declare;
Before they spring forth,
I tell you of them.

Tiny Tim-Tiny URL

All I Want For Christmas Is A Tiny URL


As frail Tiny Tim was in need of a good meal, I had a huge appetite for a Tiny URL.

I am working on data feeds for Pastor Paul's Club. Two pieces of information needed are the image URL and the page URL of the store. These will be sent to some comparison shopping networks and hopefully will drive traffic to Pastor Paul's Club. After looking at the length of the URL, again I asked myself, 'What is a tiny URL?'.

Pastor Paul's Blog also has a lengthy URL and I must always remind the Tongues of Fire-Pastor Paul's Podcast listeners that there is no dot after the 3 w's or you will get Another Pastor Paul instead of Our Pastor Paul. When I post to twitter about a blog post the URL takes up 33 of my 140 characters.

I think I posed the same question,'What is a tiny URL?', to the twitter community once without response.
Finally, I searched Google and found Tiny.cc.

If you want a tiny URL to post on twitter, customize your links with keywords and you will even get some analytics for each Tinylink you create, it looks like Tiny.cc is a one stop Tinylink shop with one small catch, and you may be the little fish in the pond, you must wait a tinytime with an advertiser's message while tiny.cc connects your link. Not altogether what I wished for but here it is.

Using Tiny.cc Pastor Paul's Blog URL changed from http://wwwpastorpaul.blogspot.com to http://www.tiny.cc/blogpost. Keep in mind, I will use the tiny URL when I do not need to identify the link because the link is identified by me and Pastor Paul's name is not connected to it. So the tiny URL is not to be used if you are advertising the URL unless when creating it you use an identifier.

If you really want to get some advice on a squeaky clean URL go to URL Hygiene today's post by Seth Godin. He links to Good URL Bad URL by Aaron Goldman who confesses to being a URL-aholic. He knows a bad URL from a good URL and posts them at his blog by the same name.

So as Cyber Santa might ask, 'Is your URL Naughty or Nice?' As for me I am not as satisfied as Tiny Tim. I am thinking squeaky clean fast.

Architects of Fate

The Builders
HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW

All are architects of Fate,
Working in these walls of Time;
Some with massive deeds and great,
Some with ornaments of rhyme.

Nothing useless is, or low;
Each thing in its place is best;
And what seems but idle show
Strengthens and supports the rest.

For the structure that we raise,
Time is with materials filled;
Our today's and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which we build.

Truly shape and fashion these;
Leave no yawning gaps between;
Think not, because no man sees,
Such things will remain unseen.

In the elder days of Art,
Builders wrought with greatest care
Each minute and unseen part;
For the gods see everywhere.

Let us do our work as well,
Both the unseen and the seen;
Make the house where gods may dwell
Beautiful, entire, and clean.

Else our lives are incomplete,
Standing in these walls of Time,
Broken stairways, where the feet
Stumble, as they seek to climb.

Build today, then, strong and sure,
With firm and ample base;
And ascending and secure
Shall tomorrow find its place.

Thus alone can we attain
To those turrets, where the eye
Sees the world as one vast plain,
And one boundless reach of sky.
