For one thing, it's necessary to type http://www. before the URL you seek. I found the perfect solution today. I downloaded the Beta version of Internet Explorer 7. It has some great improvements, including the ability to have several web pages open at the same time and to access them by tabs on the top of the browser window. I realize that many prefer Opera, Netscape, Mozilla Firefox or another browser, but for IE users, this could be a good fix.

"O God, do not be far from me; O my God, make haste to help me!" ~Psalm 71:12 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. In material things, we can really on our own wisdom and that of others. In spiritual things, we need not rely so much on our own wisdom as on God's guidance. In dealing with personalities, it is a mistake to step out too much on our own. We can try to be guided by God in all human relationships. We cannot accomplish much of value in dealing with people until God knows we are ready. We alone do not have the power or wisdom to put things right between people. We can rely on God to help us in these vital matters. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may rely on God in dealing with people's problems. I pray that I may try to follow God's guidance in all personal relationships. .=: S C R I P T U R E S A N D S A I N T O F T H E D A Y := Scriptures: http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/ Saint of the Day: http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/SaintofDay/ .=: W E P R A Y :=.
