HELP! Since we've got a few users of Firefox here, maybe someone call tell me if there is a spell check program that works with it. I used IE Spell for the IE based browsers, but I'm sure that it won't work. I installed Free Spell last night, and it erased my message everytime I tried to use it. It did do the spell check and make corrections, but the messages disappeared. I'm brand new to Firefox, and I really like it, but I really need a spell check program. It doesn't have to be free, just as long as it works. Thanks in advance for any help. Love In Christ, Tom

Rhys,
Brother, I'm new to Firefox, but I'm having no problem at all in using the password function to log in to Christians Unite.
I'm wondering if you imported Internet Explorer settings when you installed Firefox. I wonder if a clean install of Firefox would solve your problem.
Love In Christ, Tom

In the one short day that this thread has been "on the air", the following has happened to your brothers and sisters in Christ somewhere in the world. 40 have been murdered for their faith. 200 have been imprisoned. 455 have been beaten. Brother Hank, I didn't know about this, and it makes me very sad. This is a stark reminder that we shouldn't take our freedom to worship for granted. There are a lot of things wrong with America, but there are also a lot of good things that we really don't appreciate. Innocent people being killed because of their belief in Jesus is yet another sign that the end of this age might be near. When we open our Bibles and worship our Saviour, we should be remembering those who die for what we take for granted. Here we are, safe and secure, being able to study and worship in peace. This is yet another Gift and Blessing we don't deserve. Love In Christ, Tom

Saved_4ever,
Thanks brother. You are obviously right about no power in Heaven or Earth can pluck a child out of the might Hands of Jesus.
Our part is much more than just doing the best that we can. We can and should pray that God guides us, gives us strength, and uses us according to His Will. I give thanks that the end result and real power is in God, and always has been. We fail pretty often, but God never fails, and we can pray that He directs our feeble efforts. Let me quickly say that I know that I fail often, too often. However, I still feel led to keep trying.
Love In Christ, Tom

DreamWeaver & Saved_4ever,
Thanks brothers!
I am a member of the bifocal crowd, and I just enlarged the text in Firefox. WOW! - this is nice. I can lean back in my chair and still read the screen.
I downloaded a bunch of help information on Firefox, but I haven't had a chance to print it out yet. I'll probably make myself a cheat sheet on the features I want to use. I would say that most of it is really pretty easy, once you start trying a few things.
Now, I just need to find a spell-checker to use on the forum. If not, people are going to find out pretty quickly that I don't spell very well.
Love In Christ, Tom

From The Federalist Patriot http://FederalistPatriot.US/services.asp2004 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT "Americans live in freedom because of our veterans' courage, dedication to duty, and love of country. On Veterans Day, we honor these brave men and women who have served in our Armed Forces and defended our Nation. Across America, there are more than 25 million veterans. Their ranks include generations of citizens who have risked their lives while serving in military conflicts, including World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, and the war on terror. They have fought for the security of our country and the peace of the world. They have defended our founding ideals, protected the innocent, and liberated the oppressed from tyranny and terror. They have known the hardships and the fears and the tragic losses of war. Our veterans know that in the harshest hours of conflict they serve just and honorable purposes. Through the years, our veterans have returned home from their duties to become active and responsible citizens in their communities, further contributing to the growth and development of our Nation. Their commitment to service inspires all Americans. With respect for and in recognition of the contributions our service men and women have made to the cause of peace and freedom around the world, the Congress has provided that November 11 of each year shall be set aside as a legal public holiday to honor veterans. Now, therefore, I, George W. Bush, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim November 11, 2004, as Veterans Day and urge all Americans to observe November 7 through November 13, 2004, as National Veterans Awareness Week. I urge all Americans to recognize the valor and sacrifice of our veterans through ceremonies and prayers. I call upon Federal, State, and local officials to display the flag of the United States and to encourage and participate in patriotic activities in their communities. I invite civic and fraternal organizations, places of worship, schools, businesses, unions, and the media to support this national observance with commemorative expressions and programs." George W. Bush

Amen Pastor Roger!
I pray for our brave young men and women every day. I give thanks for the freedoms they have preserved with their blood, sweat, and tears.
We need to remember them every day, not just on Veterans Day. One of the most precious freedoms we enjoy is to worship God, and there are many others.
Love In Christ, Tom

Brothers, Thinking about dunking reminded me of an old 3 Stooges episode. Someone had taught them to be gentlemen, and they were at a fancy affair for the refined elite. Curly asked if he could dunk, and Moe said "Yes". Curly did it wrong and got slapped by Moe. Moe said something about manners, so Curly lifted his pinky finger while dunking and got Moe's approval. I think that was followed by a pie fight. You can tell that I enjoy sophisicated humor. Tom

Saved_4ever, Brother, thanks for the information on Firefox. I've now been using it for a total of about 5 hours. You really helped with the form (password) information. I think that I can figure that out now. I set Firefox to run completely separate on my system. I also didn't know about the cookie configuration options. I think that I'm getting happier by the moment with Firefox. I still have the old fashioned dial-up services, and Firefox is much faster than the several browsers I used that depended on IE. I'm an old guy trying to learn new tricks. Thanks for the help. Love In Christ, Tom

Marv,
Countless scholars have examined the KJV, and that's why it is a trusted translation. If you wish to study the ancient language texts, they are available to anyone at little or no cost.
However, I seriously doubt that is the reason for your comments. If so, I'll be happy to help you get the ancient texts.
Love In Christ, Tom

Rhys,
I just installed Firefox and am taking it for my first test drive. So far, so good.
I did see an extension (plugin) that can be used to load a web page with IE from inside Firefox. I'll get it and try it for Windows Update and let you know if it works.
Overall, I'm pretty impressed with Firefox, but I do miss some of my password utilities. The new Firefox has some ways to add custom functions, so I'm going to try with my password helper and spell-checker. If I get those working, I'll be very happy with Firefox. It is extremely fast.
Love In Christ, Tom
