Uh... no, not exactly, and I just explained why.

Let me try again....

James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

Good things are from God. Bad things are all the things that are not from God. Praising God for bad things would be misguided praise, while praising God for good things would be proper.

Now one might say... didn't you say you praised God for the freedom? And therefore couldn't a wicked guy praise Him for that freedom as well? To which I answered "sure"! Yet that praise would be misguided if that person used his freedom for wickedness and here is why....

A person can misuse a gift!

I might thank my father for giving me an axe. I thank him because I needed the axe to chop down trees for firewood. My father also gave my brother an axe and my brother is thankful for the gift, yet my brother misuses his gift and chops up his wife into little pieces :shocked: (that's a really awful thing). The gift is still good! Misusing the gift is bad.

Praising the father for the gift is good! The son praising the father for misusing the gift for evil would be misguided.

How does the private calendar function work? Does everybody have thier own? Can anybody else see it?

Knight said:

I assume that private means private.

However, I have never used it.

Do you have a favorite "e-calendar," or do you still use an old-school planner?
