Power of God through the Internet

It is Sunday, the Lord's day and I am spending it at home as I recuperate from a successful ear surgery. I am giving God the glory and thanks for it. Today, I experienced what I call a "God wink" in that a small event happened that I think is only by God. He somehow made my two worlds come together and prove how HE is in control of ALL things and at ALL times. As you know, I am passionate about God, my family, and LOVE technology. In this God Tube video that came to me, I can prove how powerful the Internet is and hope that this is a little proof what God can do through technology. I don't know the details of how these three young men practiced or decided on their audition song, but one thing's for sure: God brought them together and I hope they bring HIM the glory. May you experience the same feelings when you watch this.

God Winks

I went on Amazon and looked up books about "God Winks". I had watched a TV program with Squire Rushnell, the author, and made it a goal to read his book. He has more than one book written now, and I plan to read one this summer. In fact, I so believe that when we become more aware of things and understand that God has a hand in making each event occur in our lives, we become more closer to him. In fact, I just experienced my own God wink tonight. I've been thinking about the life and how we get so caught up in the "busy"ness of it, that we miss out on the little things that mean so much. I have been wanting to simplify my life and get back to the basics, if you say. I read a devotional about "Stopping and smelling the roses" before life passes you by. Well, the God wink occurred when a friend sent me this video to watch. It is called "Life is like Coffee". It is worth the few minutes, I promise, that it takes to watch. This is one I want to keep and re-watch when things get too hectic, and I lose sight of the important things in life. I want to choose the plain and simple!

Stop the Internet Tax

I normally don't cross post, but I have put this on both of my blogs, because it will be so sad if this passes. The Internet has always been open and available for businesses to advertise and market themselves. All good things must end? All for the mighty $buck$...

STOP THE INTERNET TAX

On Thursday, the Senate voted to proceed to the Internet sales tax bill. Unfortunately, the Senate Majority Leader scheduled the vote while Sen. Cruz was in Texas attending the memorial service for the West explosion. Had Sen. Cruz been present, he would have emphatically voted against this legislation because he believes the Internet should remain a haven for entrepreneurial growth. We should protect and cherish the freedom of the Internet -- not pass a massive new Internet sales tax that would impose billions of dollars of new taxes on America's small businesses.

In addition to being bad policy, Sen. Cruz also opposes the way this legislation has been pushed through the Senate -- skipping the committee process in an attempt to stifle debate. That is why Sen. Cruz joined a bipartisan coalition of senators urging Sen. Harry Reid to allow for a thorough vetting of the bill through regular order.

Enjoy the Ride

A friend from church sent this to me today. Besides truly enjoying the music, it really makes you stop and think about your life, purpose, and how we should enjoy each moment in life. Hope you take the time to watch this.

Freedom Minute

I'd like to take a poll of the many US citizens who are alive today because they protected themselves with their right to keep and bear arms.

Do You Know Him?

One of our church members shared this during worship service Sunday.  He read the script which flowed like prose or poetry. It is actually a sermon from the late S.M. Lockridge from San Diego, California in 1976. As you read it, you will see how he proclaims the greatness of our God and King. At the end of the post, I have included a YouTube version that has 2 million + views.

That’s My King

The Bible says
He’s the King of the Jews
He’s the King of Israel
He’s the King of Righteousness
He’s the King of the Ages
He’s the King of Heaven
He’s the King of Glory
He’s the King of Kings
and He is the Lord of Lords

Now that’s my King!
David says
The Heavens declare the glory of God
And the firmament showeth His handiwork
No means of measure can define His limitless love
No far seeing telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of His shoreless supply
No barriers can hinder Him from pouring out His blessing

Then, share this link with at least six friends to ensure we garner as many signatures as possible.  Together, our voices will carry!  This petition asks the Obama Administration to: Invest in classroom broadband connectivity to ensure that all students are ready for college and 21st century careers. Education, like every sector in America, is undergoing a digital transformation. As students and educators embrace personalized instruction, online and mobile learning, adaptive assessments and data-driven decision making, and develop critical thinking, collaboration, communication and digital citizenship skills, demands on school networks will continue to skyrocket. Unfortunately, unlike the business and healthcare sectors, K–12 investment in school broadband infrastructure has lagged. Even the successful E-Rate program cannot meet rapidly escalating school needs for increased bandwidth. The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) recognizes that we as a nation must invest in school broadband connectivity to ensure our students graduate equipped for success. Act now!
