Come Monday...OCProducts

We were in need of some ink (AGAIN!!!) for our Dell V305 printer, which came with the new computer we were blessed with a little over a couple of years ago now. So, I started searching online for the best deal on the high-capacity ink cartridges that work with it.

Yeah, “high-capacity”—my tookis! Since when did an ounce or two of anything become a lot, except for in the case of cocaine or heroin, which are probably cheaper to buy in certain markets?

Anyway, since we have been generally quite satisfied with what we have ordered on Amazon.com, I concentrated my search there, and I soon “found” a great deal from [OCProducts]. For they were offering a set (black and color) of Dell Series 9 high-capacity ink cartridges for $18.27 at the time while just a color cartridge will cost you $26.99 at [Dell].

Too good to be true? Well, kinda. For what we actually received were remanufactured cartridges, which do have their drawbacks. For some printers will not recognize remanufactured cartridges, which means that you will not get a reading on how much ink is left, as was the case with what we received. Furthermore, some remanufactured cartridges just plain do not work right, as was also the case with the color cartridge that we received.

Oh, but there is a rest to this story. For instead of submitting a nasty report to Amazon when they asked about how satisfied we were with our purchase, I sent a curt little email to OCProducts that told just how dissatisfied we were.

Quite frankly, I did not expect to hear a peep out of them, but here a reply came. Now, I will not go into any details about how hard they tried to be of service. For there are some, who would undoubtedly try to take advantage of what they did for us. Suffice to say, OCProducts has proven to me that they truly are a company that really cares about their customers, and I would highly recommend shopping with them for whatever they have available.

Oh no, they are not just in the printer ink remanufacturing business. For they offer all sorts of things that many of you just can’t live without.

Yes, as matter of fact, I do know this to be true. So, please do yourself a favor and go [here] to see what I am talking about.

A Sunday Drive

Back during my childhood, our parents would often load up my brother and me after Sunday morning church services for a leisurely drive around where we lived.  Even though we were seeing mostly familiar sights, it was still good to see them, and this is why “A Sunday Drive” sounded about right for the name of a weekly series revisiting familiar sites that are well worth seeing again and again.  The link below the image is to the site itself, and the image is linked to the post it was first included in here.

Intimate Relations Repost

The following is another chapter from [Bittersweet Refinements].  Since each part is connected to the rest, it would do you well to keep reading (and listening for our Heavenly Father's explanations, of course).

Intimate Relations

But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.  For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion, wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions.  But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.

[1 Timothy 1:5-11 NAS]

Be assured that our Heavenly Father did not establish His church in the name of His only begotten Son, who truly is the Lord Jesus Christ, to save any souls, nor to change any behaviors.  For that is the work of His Holy Spirit[1].

No, this is not to say that it is has no part in the process.  For the body of believers who make up His church[2] are called to echo what His Holy Spirit is already saying[3], which involves the convicting of sin[4].

Nonetheless, even in regards to that, it can only be righteously done in His love.  For it is written: If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. [1 Corinthians 13:1 NAS]

Subsequently, it is also the work of our Heavenly Father’s Holy Spirit to teach us about His love.  For what we naturally consider to be love is nothing more than a mere shadow of what His is[5].

Furthermore, it is another part of His Holy Spirit’s job description to allow and enable us to love as His does[6].  For there is a big difference between knowing about something and being able to actually do it[7].

It should not, however, be assumed that all in Christ are allowed and enabled to truly love as He does.  For as it is with all of the other Spiritual gifts, that is determined by what He wants to accomplish in and through someone[8].

Proof of just how much is misunderstood about this is clear to see in every direction.  For what is often referred to as being “Christian love” has more to do with doing one’s duty in a military sort of way than anything else.

Whereas the kind of love that truly is of our Heavenly Father is oh so very personal.  For it is written: Love is patient, love is kind {and} is not jealous; love does not brag {and} is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong {suffered,} does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. [1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NAS]

Yes, it can be argued that it is not their fault, and if it was not for the witness of our Heavenly Father’s Holy Spirit, there would be ample evidence to support the objection.  For it is written: Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned. [1 Timothy 1:5 KJV]

Needless to say, there is a big difference between “love” and “charity,” but only in regards to what charity means in the eyes of this world now.  For in 1611, it meant so much more[9], and in the Light of our Heavenly Father’s absolute truth[10], even that was not taking it far enough[11].

Yes, I can certainly appreciate why there would naturally be so much resistance to this.  For in order to truly love someone like our Heavenly Father does, we must want to get personally involved in their life to the extent that we are welcomed to, and that is just too close for comfort in far too many cases (naturally-speaking, of course).

Nonetheless, I would still think that most would want to believe otherwise when looked at from a different direction.  For which would be better, to spend all of eternity with the One who truly loves you[12] or is charitable—even by the natural standards of 1611?

Sites To See

The SOLE purpose of this weekly series is to call attention to sites that I think many would find most interesting—in one way or another.  Just to be clear, inclusion in this series is not necessarily meant as a recommendation, and I have included sites that are rather disturbing to me.  The link below each image is to the site itself, and each image is linked to the particular post from which it was taken when applicable.  Please, go see for yourself.

I Don’t Care Anymore

TWO FOR TUESDAY

Link: [Phil Collins]

Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.

In The Air Tonight

Phil Collins

I can feel it

Comin’ in the air tonight

Oh Lord

And I’ve been waiting for this moment

For all my life

Oh Lord

Can you feel it

Comin’ in the air tonight

Oh Lord

Oh Lord

Well if you told me you were drowning

I would not lend a hand

I’ve see your face before my friend

But I don’t know if you know who I am

Well I was there

And I saw what you did

I saw it with my own two eyes

So you can wipe off that grin

I know where you’ve been

It’s all been a pack of lies

And I can feel it

Comin’ in the air tonight

Oh Lord

Well I’ve been waiting for this moment

For all my life

Oh Lord

I can feel it

Comin’ in the air tonight

Oh Lord

Oh Lord

Well I remember

I remember

Don’t worry

Worry worry worry worry

How could I ever forget

It’s the first time

The last time

We ever met

Met met met met

But I know the reason why

You keep your silence up

No you don’t fool me

Well the hurt doesn’t show

But the pain still grows

It’s no stranger to you and me

I can feel it

Comin’ in the air tonight

Oh Lord

But I’ve been waiting for this moment

For all my life

Oh Lord

I can feel it

In the air tonight

Oh Lord

Oh Lord

Well I’ve been waiting for this moment

For all my life

Oh Lord

I can feel it

Comin’ in the air tonight

Take Me Home

Phil Collins

Take that look of worry

I’m an ordinary man

They don’t tell me nothin’

So I find out all I can

There’s a fire that’s been burnin’

Right outside my door

I can’t see but I feel it

And it helps to keep me warm

So I

I don’t mind

No I

I don’t mind

Seems so long I’ve been waitin’

Still don’t know what for

There’s no point in escapin’

I don’t worry anymore

I can’t come out to find you

I don’t like to go outside

They can turn off my feelings

Like they’re turnin’ off the light

But I

I don’t mind

No I

I don’t mind

Oh I

I don’t mind

No I

I don’t mind

So take

Take me home

‘Cause I don’t remember

Take

Take me home

‘Cause I don’t remember

Take

Take me home

Oh Lord

‘Cause I’ve been a prisoner

All my life

And I can say to you

Take that look of worry

Mine’s an ordinary life

Workin’ when it’s daylight

And sleepin’ when it’s night

I’ve got no far horizons

I don’t wish upon a star

They don’t think that I listen

Oh but I know who they are

And I

I don’t mind

No I

I don’t mind

Oh I

I don’t mind

No I

I don’t mind

So take

Take me home

‘Cause I don’t remember

Take

Take me home

‘Cause I don’t remember

Take

Take me home

‘Cause I don’t remember

Take

Take me home

Oh Lord

Well I’ve been a prisoner

All my life

And I can say to you

But I don’t remember

Take

Take me home

‘Cause I don’t remember

Take

Take me home

‘Cause I don’t remember

Take

Take me home

‘Cause I don’t remember

Take

Take me home

‘Cause I don’t remember

Take

Take me home

‘Cause I don’t remember

Take

Take me home

‘Cause I don’t remember

Take me home

‘Cause I don’t remember
