I want to make it clear before In start posting anything up that I do not know everything about healing, and I will not pretend to. This topic in itself is very broad, and is easily open to misinterpretation. As a result, some people may start commenting of my beliefs on the subject before I have finished explaining it.

However I have been inspired recently by my brother-in-law to keep a log on my Christian life and feelings. I have a good memory for some things, but a bad memory for others, and some of the things I have learnt and discovered over the past 2 years shouldn't be lost at all, and should be documented for other folk to blessed by techietimnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5565891.post-84969728930242154172007-05-14T16:19:00.000+01:002007-05-14T16:27:53.312+01:00Everything Has Changed!!!So, you've noticed I've not updated this in a while.

When you buy a Mac, you don't buy a computer, you buy into a community. About 10 months ago we bought a new car (second hand, but well worth it).

Firstly, I thought my 5 yr old Mac had died on me, so I went out and bought a new eMac. Then I found my Mac was working!!! THEN, 1 week after buying the eMac, Apple upgraded the model so it was 25% faster, and £100 cheaper!!!

I cannot believe the arogance of Microsoft... (wait a minute... yes I can!). They are taking a 17 year old lad to court over the domain name he registered for himself. Mike Rowe couldn't believe his ears when Microsoft offered him $10 as a settlement. He was so furious that he demanded $10,000 instead.

Found this well cool link, on upgrading an eMac. For those who say Macs aren't upgradable, read and enjoy.

Was in church today, and I heard the perfect motto that I've been looking for. It's simply...
Work Hard,
Love God,
Behave Honestly.
It's a motto which suggests not only the attitude of my life, but also offers insight into my aims and integrity.
I love it, and it's not a motto I'm gonna be ashamed of either.techietimnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5565891.post-1068330734670098582003-11-08T22:32:00.000Z2003-11-08T22:32:12.350ZWhatsa motto with you???
Things are starting to wind me up. The company I work for have a great motto (which they've had for a while) which is "Do some good, Make some money, Have some fun". However my department have adopted their own motto "Respect, Loyalty, Results" which really wound me up a treat.

I wish I had the stamina to write something everyday, but I don't. I tend to fizzle out, and then get a spurt of energy and enthusiasm. Just like the good ole' combustion engine.
