An Umbrella...

A whispered Hallelujah...

Perhaps Hallelujahs are not always loud and magnificent, boldly declaring "Praise ye the Lord!" Perhaps they can be quiet whispers of praise, slipping by nearly unnoticed by others. In those quiet whispers one can really see God and feel His presence. After all, the Lord did not appear to Elijah in the great and powerful wind, the earthquake, or in the fire. The Lord was in the gentle whisper.



1 Kings 19:11-13
The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.”

Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.
Sunsets, like hallelujahs, are not always bold and magnificent. The quiet ones, slipping daylight into dusk, speak just as much of God's glory. Barely noticeable, they tint the clouds the faintest pink and orange then fade away altogether...
a whispered Hallelujah...praise ye the Lord!

Tuesday's Tips - Customizing Comment Author Avatar Image

To customize the comment author's avatar image you're going to look for this code in your template:

#comments .avatar-image-container img

If you can't find it in your template, copy and paste it after this code:

#comments h4

The CSS inside the brackets {} following that code will control what your post titles look like.
You can customize the code however you'd like--be creative! You can use my CSS Basics posts on Borders, Backgrounds, Text, and Padding & Margins for specific codes. If you have any questions on how to do something specific, ask in a comment and I'll get back as soon as I can.

For example, my current post title code looks like this:

#comments .avatar-image-container img {
border: 0px solid white;
border-radius: 45px;
-moz-border-radius:45px;
-webkit-border-radius:45px;
margin-left:3px;
}

So if you take a look at my code:
      - the image does not have a border
      - the image has rounded corners with a radius of 45px (this is what make the image look like a circle)
      - the image has a margin of 3px on the left
