Test

While there has always been debate as to which computer system is better, FOXNews.com recently published a great article about the main differences. Click here to read the article.

I’ve been a PC owner since 1985 with a Commodore 64, then an IBM XT (moving at the whopping 4.77 hertz) and so on. I’m still a consistent PC user, mainly in the long run due to the early years of a PC costing $1500 to $3000 or a MAC costing $3000 to $5000. When you are young and need money guess which one wins over…

Interesting point in the article is the choices and considered quality issues between the two. Read the article, it’s not exactly what I thought…

Law of Mechanical Repair
After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch and you’ll have to pee.

Law of Gravity
Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.

If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal; somebody will always answer.

When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone rings.

Murphy’s Law of Lockers

This winter, the weather had done what many fear: Washington has been shut down. No new legislation, sound bites, intervention, or intrusion in our lives for a short break. THANK GOD!

Washington likes to give the impression that they are doing the work for the American People, and without their constant vigilance, life in America will cease to continue! It is a perspective that people in power like to propagate so that they can hold their base of power and personal importance. It is also the same attitude that is perpetuated within churches, companies, and organizations by people who are small minded and want their culture to sense that “without me you won’t make it.”

There is only one person who holds that position in the universe and that would be Jesus who said (this applies if you believe in him, and is still a great life lesson if you don’t… but you should…) “without me you can do nothing”.

Jesus though, was all about empowerment, not servitude. He commanded His disciples to go out, preach, do the works of ministry that he did (healing, casting out devils, etc.), and minister as He would.

At one point, the disciples came to Jesus and told Him that they had commanded a man who was casting out devils in his name, because he wasn’t one of them. Jesus told the disciples to leave them alone. Jesus wanted the work done, not caring who got the immediate credit – Jesus just wants people to be free.

Washington on the other hand acts as though, you and I will be stranded in the wilderness if they are on TV and telling us of all the good work they are doing on our behalf: taxes, regulations, and protecting us from ourselves.

Never think that you need the all-knowing, all serving, help of government to live your daily life. If you are reading this and haven’t noticed, you are still alive and living. I think we should be thanking God for the snow, and pray that we get even more.

Better yet, let’s vote for anyone who promises upon penalty of death to only show up in Washington and vote, on the basic most common needs for national security and finance. In fact, if a Congressman/Senator promises to not do anything that is who I would consider voting for. They aren’t doing anything now, and life is good!

To revisit the Rolex commentary from a previous post. Last year (I just found this out), the Rolex watch that Steve McQueen owned was sold at auction for $234,000.00. (To read more of the story you can click here.) Now we know that it sold for so much due to the fact that Steve McQueen owned it, but this story proves several facts.

First, a Rolex increases in value. Secondly, its value rises especially high when owned by Steve McQueen.

Lastly, men should always wear a classic time piece that is as classic as they value themself. The value of a watch, is like the heart of man – completely in the eye of the beholder. I believe Steve McQueen was a classic… and that Rolex he had was too!
