A Prayer for Guidance


Holy Spirit,

You know my heart. You understand my deepest wants and needs, and You know my every intention. You know me better than I know myself. There is nowhere I could run to escape Your presence, and nothing I could hide from You!

And that’s why, right now, I am asking You to give me Your divine wisdom and guidance.

I don’t always know what to pray for. My soul is weary and I am tired. I often worry about making the right decision—but I want to live a life that honors You.

Even though I may feel like I can’t move forward or see what’s ahead—You see me. And You know me. So please guide me. Show me the paths that lead to abundant life, and convict me when I am tempted to stray from You.

As You guide me, restore me. I will place my hope in You at all times because You know all things, and by You, my life is held together. You are my strength in times of need, and You have become my salvation.

So hold me close, Lord, and teach me to walk in a manner worthy of the calling You have given me. Direct my steps as You guard my life, because I want to glorify You.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Our online password generator located at https://horvathsoftware.com/OnlinePasswordGenerator.aspx has been updated with an improved user interface.  Unchanged in that passwords generated on this page are not stored anywhere on our web server.  You may control the behavior of the password generator by entering your desired parameters in the Online Password Generator web form.

Here's the list of input controls:

  1. minPasswordLen - the minimum password length and when equal to the maxPasswordLen this sets the fixed password length.  When less than maxPasswordLen a random password length is generated between the two length settings.
  2. maxPasswordLen - the maximum password length.
  3. excludedSymbols - for passwords with symbols in them this controls what symbols are excluded unless the Allowed Instead checkbox is checked.  When Allowed Instead is checked then only the symbols in the text box are used when a symbol is added to the password.
  4. AllowedInstead - this checkbox controls the behavior of the excludedSymbols text box.
  5. PasswordCharacterSelections - this drop down list allows you to select your desired picks for each character of the password.  The settings on this control are self explanatory.

Also included are these buttons:

  1. Generate Password - will generate a new password using the settings displayed in the input controls
  2. Copy to clipboard - will copy the password textbox to your clipboard
  3. Export to PRESS - will create an export file that is compatible with PRESS's import feature that will allow you to save any password to your password vault
We have included this password generator as a free service and as a sample of ASP.Net web form page capabilities.

As a way of mitigating possible false negative results in searching for foods in our food allergy checker, we have added a service of researching foods that are reported to not have any of your allergens. When you search and find a food that does not appear to have your allergens an email is sent to me that lets me know to research to see if none of your allergens are present in the food. A new table has been added to the database to track our research results and improve our messaging for foods that have been checked.

We want to help people with food allergies in their research of foods to find if a food is safe for them. Any ideas for improvements to the food allergy checker would be welcome comments. Currently as a start up we are not experiencing high volume of usage of the food allergy checker so some of the features like the Report tab of the checker really are not quite yet helping as much as they could if the crowd sourcing concept took off. (The idea behind the Report tab is that if a food is known to contain an allergen that is not listed in the ingredients on the labelling of the food our customers can add the allergen. This would make fewer false negatives by including the research our customers as a group are doing in their daily usage of the checker.)

As always thanks for reading our post and may your day be blessed!
