Let it Rain?
When we talk about God's mercy and kindness the image of his mercy raining down on us is often used. I imagine people dancing in the rain and soaking it up and experiencing joy. Yet, this morning, I'm in a suit to go meet with a client. It is raining and gusting wind. My umbrella blows inside out. I get really wet. Traffic is crawling and I smell like a wet sheep is I sit in my car mired in traffic and grumbling because I'm late for my meeting. Both images involve rain. The same rain. The only difference is the attitude and the reaction of the person experiencing the rain. I'm thinking there's a deep thought there. Hopefully, you can take it further than I can. Have a great day!

Imagine my surprise to see a new link to my blog. Well, sort of...
I followed the link and found my animated GIF on your site. No big deal (though some might get upset). I smile every time I see my picture. It reminds me of good times this past summer while on sabbatical.
Unfortunately, rather than provide a true link to provide credit for the picture (which even Flickr requires), you just "hot linked the image. The image appears on your blog but I pay for the bandwidth.
There are multiple reasons not to do this. First, as I implied above, it's not polite to steal bandwidth from others. Second, you're setting yourself up for nasty tricks. Since I'm actually serving the image instead of you, it would be a simple matter for me to change the image to something offensive. It wouldn't be the first time it's happened to a hotlinker.
In other words, if you're going to steal someone's photos, do it "right" and host them yourself.
And be thankful when you're shown mercy... ;-)
I'm going to fix this. I have much to learn. Sorry.
That's okay.
I like guitars and gadgets, too. Good luck with your blog. :-)
