The offering plate, part 2

The previous post asked, “What can I give as an offering?”
As of now, I am essentially a panhandler.

One of the problems with public discourse
is that we have horrible role models.

Resource: HTML for fancy symbols
As a public service, I’m publishing what I found out about certain fancy symbols.
Helpful web pages:
- Wingdings character set and equivalent Unicode characters (alanwood.net)
- Unicode/UTF-8-character table – starting from code position 1F650 (utf8-chartable.de)
On a web page, one must use UTF-8 encoding, or the symbols won’t appear.
The font used in my Word source document was Segoe UI Symbol.
The offering plate, part 1
One lives in a world substantially of one’s own creation.
The offering plate came around, and I got a shock. I can remember when I dreamed of putting $60 in there each week, as the woman does who normally sits in front of me. No such dream is available to me now; I am unable to envision myself ever putting anything in there.
My circumstances have rendered me infantile; a complete “taker.” One of those who seeks to receive “blessings” rather than seeking to be a blessing, a “maker.”
What can I give as an offering?
The offertory hymn was, “We are an offering.”
We lift our voices, we lift our hands
We lift our lives up to You
We are an offering
Lord use our voices, Lord use our hands
Lord use our lives, they are Yours
We are an offering
All that we have, all the we are
All that we hope to be
We give to You, we give to You
We lift our voices, we lift our hands
We lift our lives up to You
We are an offering, we are an offering[*]
I myself can be my offering.
More about that next week.

There will be no podcast this month.
I am leaving Anchor/Spotify. This may have changed in the last month; now they compel you to use their app, which is difficult for me to use on my tablet, and I’m not going to struggle with it. I used to include audio files directly on my blog; I’ll have to figure out how I used to do that; and/or, I may start the podcast up again on YouTube or Instagram.
