Still have trouble changing and more and more I am hearing that blogging is obsolete.
Not many are even checking this so not sure how long I will keep it up. Might just take a break for a while.
Not will to post on facebook too often. As much as I feel that blogging can not be secured, Facebook is way out there on security. Kids on all the time, facebook changing the rules so you have to redo your settings.
No that is not where I want to post.

Answers?
Is a prayer being answered?
A request I didn't know was being prayed.
Sometimes the answers are not what we expect, but are what is for the best.
Find the joy in the answer and ask in prayer for help for the problems.
God knows the solutions.

Who do you count on!
Can you count on your family? Do they do what they say they will? Follow thru?
What about your friends?
If they say they will can you count on them?
You know your having a get together at your home, everyone seems to be late, can you still count on them showing up?
One person you can always count on is God. Have faith that he will show up all the time.
Ask him for his help with everyday things, he will be there for you.

RAKS
Do you ever do RAK's? What are raks you say? Random Acts of Kindness.
You know doing something for no reason at all. Might be giving of your time, your money or making something.
I love to pick up little things at the discount store or Odd Lots just to have on hand.
They may cost a penny, or a dollar, or maybe 5 or 10 but it is fun to just have a few little things on hand to hand out to the grandkids. It's fun to do this for those you know. What about doing this for a person you meet in the street. You know you are in the drivethru and pay for the guy behind you. Buy an extra sack of groceries and drop them off at the neighbors.
Well the real reason I thought on this was a discussion about adding to welcome bags.
So what would you contribute to a welcome bag, I am making a list.
Tweezers,
Nail file
clippers
sample body cares
winkle free clothes spray
eye mask
devotional book
notepad
pen
earrings
lipgloss
fuzzy socks
gift card to starbucks or mickysd's
rice pack (for hot or cold) these are easy and cheap to make
emergency sewing kit
small photo book
well this is a start can you add to it

Computers
Over the next couple of posts I am going to try to explain computers. Computers the way I know them.
I know I have tried to touch base with people that when you use "propriety programs" such as that come with your cameras or computers you are limiting yourself.
You also are risking the chance that once you no longer have those programs, or you upgrade your computer to a new operating system, or the program upgrades and you choose not to spend the money or time to keep up, that you will loose those files. That is especially heartbreaking when we are talking about digital photos.
It use to be we made "hard copies" of photos, we had negatives to remake the copies. Now we have FILES.
Twice in the last few months I have had people speak Priority Programs to me, with no understanding that companies go out of business at a drop of a hat. That if you do not save your photos or files as files that are compatible with all formats you stand the change of loosing them for ever.
So I will try to address these issues in the next few days. If you don't understand me or need more personal info please feel free to ask.

Lent
Are you fasting for lent?
Do you choose to fast for religious reasons? for health?
Have you considered what foods
would be available in late winter, if modern food practices didn't exist.
Not much.
The larder would be empty, the chickens wouldn't be laying, you couldn't slaughter the cow because they would be ready to give birth and start giving milk again.
So you made do, you ate pickeled foods, a few seeds or bark you could find, some fish if you could get to the lake, and some early sprouts that were showing in the ground. You learn to do without and make do and feel blessed with what you have.
Fasting in late winter early spring make sense.

What's your currency?
Often when finding a discipline to hand out to children I hear "Find their currency".
Today with the economy being what it is I am asking you "what is your currency?"
When you get back that income tax return what do you do with it? (after allowing the government to use your money interest free for the last year)
I know years past we used it to buy a half of beef, stock the pantry. Buy the kids name brand shoes. Take all of them out for dinner at Duffs. Pay off the doctors bills. Place some in the savings. We used it for extras, but they were necessary extras.
If you listen to the younger generation today they seem to use it for extras. Eating out at fancy restaurants,piercings, tattoos, ipads, the latest cell phone.
So really how bad is the economy?
How do you use your everyday currency, extra currency you didn't expect?
