Since we got hacked a few months back, my life on a technical level has been a nightmare. It’s taken months to begin to get the Tentmaker Site back on line and reformatted. The Tentmaker Resources section is still down, this blog has not been able to upload images — it’s just been a nightmare for me for some time. I’ve been trying to get this WordPress blog program to load images for months and we haven’t been able to figure out what has been the problem.
We thought perhaps the hackers left behind some code that keeps messing things up. Well, it looks like Karen, (who has been working behind the scenes for years at Tentmaker keeping things moving along), got the techies at our hosting company to change some permissions that allowed images to appear again. Hopefully it won’t corrupt again. So I tested the feature uploading an image from my computer to the image library on the server. Looking for a picture on my computer to test the uploading feature, I came across a picture of my son, Scott, who passed away almost 3 years ago. God, I miss him!!!
Editor’s Comment (2026): As we were redeveloping this website, it was a challenge to know exactly where to place this short post. It wasn’t an article, it wasn’t a testimonial, it wasn’t news. At first, the idea was maybe it should be retired. But upon prayer, we (I) was led to move it to the “inspirational” pages. It may be a trivial thought to some, or to others a sign and understanding that even in the challenges of life, in times when the worst of situations can occur (and in this case, being hacked is certainly a horrible situation) that it can lead to beautiful findings like in this case, a picture that reminds of a time long past. I think the outcome is always, cherish the moments you have in life.
