Learning your lifetraps - I Choose Us

Love Connection (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) It's been such a hard week emotionally! For the past month, the married in the church have been going through the "I choose Us" course with the aim of dealing with the root of why we end up drifting away from our spouses and loosing our Love Connection .

Send files to Google Drive via EMAIL

Well, this morning I realised that my work IT department has disabled the uploading or downloading of attachments to my Gmail address. So I decided to do a little digging into sending some files (albeit small) files to my Google Drive account.  To my surprise, Google Drive doesn't natively support email upload of files (strangely enough it supports email upload with Google Drive to Youtube provided you have activated that function).  By the way do you know you can also send email (and attachments) to Evernote , Picasa , Facebook and Twitter ? And so the power of the internet (as I discussed yesterday) is such that someone out there will spent his/her precious time making a useful program that will do exactly that. It's called Email It In . What it does is exactly in the words. Email your attachements to your Cloud storage account. Be it Google or Dropbox .

No longer is it used to JUST 'surf' or 'check my mail' but absolutely everything. This is clearly typified by companies such Ebay , Amazon , Google , Facebook , Twitter to name a few. Indeed, Millions of people have banked on the 'stay power' of the internet to provide a future of their grand-ch...

The perception of Wealth

I've been studying the bible on how God views wealth and how it often conflicts with our natural behavior. I mean it's quite clear that as people (and mostly Christians) have not attained (or fail to pursue) the spiritual maturity when it comes to the true meaning of wealth (which obviously includes social status , money and possessions). Something really touched me in the book of James 1: 9 Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. 10 But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower. 11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business. The amazing thing about this verse is that Rich people DON'T LIKE to be HUMILIATED . In fact, it can be said that the very money that you chase after is so that you're not humiliated or vulnerable. Nobody who ha...
