As Timothy Wengert comments, “God’s care for us goes right down to our shoes!”Īnd far from a set-it-and-forget-it-God, he still takes care of us and his gifts. He works through parents and siblings, spouses and children, friends and neighbors to richly and daily provide us with all we need for this body and life. He bestows our body and soul, reason and senses. The Almighty Creator is our true and dear Father who gifts us with life itself.


While a god by definition is mightily above all things and even numerous non-Christians recognize a creative intent to the heavens and the earth, to believe in God as Father goes beyond such descriptions. He leads me beside still waters.” We see the Psalmist’s beautiful and comforting images enfleshed in Luther’s down-to-earth explanation of what it means to believe in God as our Father.

Psalm 23 begins, “The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. Through his Holy Spirit, calls us by the gospel that he may daily and richly forgive our sins and on the last day raise us from the dead and give us eternal life. Out of his fatherly, divine goodness, and mercy, he makes us his own through his Son. Psalm 23 and Martin Luther’s explanations of the Apostles’ Creed found in his Small Catechism pair well to show us how God shepherds us. He knows the way because he has been there before. He lays down his life for the sheep because the sheep belong to him he knows them they are his own, and they know his voice.īut, from where to where has Christ come to shepherd us sinful sheep? He guides us from death to life. He is good because he lays down his life for the sheep, that is for us, of his own accord.
TINYTERM REFLECTION CODE
Would somebody at DAW care to check in the code (runtime, not dfconfig - I've proved that dfconfig itself isn't the culprit)? Is it doing something spooky with characters DC and DF, or the range those characters are in? Maybe get me a fixed runtime? :) (There is a - very small - Linux licence sale in prospect.In John 10, Jesus tells us he has come to shepherd us and to be our good shepherd. even in dfconfig itself - that's got to be wrong. I am now of the opinion that this is a bug in the DF runtime - any comment DAW?ĭoing character translation in dfconfig fails to change the character. it didn't prevent me endlessly tweaking my emulator (TinyTerm) just to see it that would help - I believe in logic, but my faith isn't absolute (especially when I have a hard problem). With the 'cat' of the screen dump, DF is no longer involved (it created the screen dump, but there its involvement ended) and all characters display in the emulator correctly. It seems to me that since a screen-dump to file displayed with 'cat' shows those characters OK, it can't be the fault of the emulator, or of anything in Linux for that matter - it must be something in DF. The TERM and DFTERM variables are both "linux" and that is the emulation the terminal emulator is using, but things are no better (worse actually) in a terminal window from Gnome.Īnybody have any thoughts? It seems to me that the fact that the characters display OK in the print version implies that it has to do with DataFlex, rather than with Linux (Fedora Code 5) or the emulator (TinyTerm 4.53), but if the DFINI settings don't do it, what will? If I had any hair left I'd tear it out! :mad: These characters fail to display properly (at all in fact: just spaces) on screen, but if I output the screen to a file and "cat" it, they are fine (the first image - disp-scrn.jpg - is how it displays, the second - prnt-scrn.jpg - is how it looks if I dump it to disk then "cat" the file): However doing this this totally fails to solve my problem. To express it all in decimal (for those uncomfortable with hex): (220 x 65,536) + 219 which equals (my calculator tells me) 14418139.
TINYTERM REFLECTION FULL
So to map DC (character 220: lower-half block character) to DB (219: full block character), you would use 0xDC00DB converted to decimal, which is 14418139. The things they need to be "=" to are composed as hex 0x, converted to decimal. OK, after a couple of hours of deconstructing what is going on in dfconfig (painful!), I discover that it has done me no good at all.įor reference, the DFINI codes for this are:
