This has to be the nastiest cup of coffee I have ever had. If I am going to drink coffee I want it to be tasty. I want it worth the calories and enjoy it. Basically I am only drinking good coffee. I would of rather had a cup of great value instant crystals than this. Now I have enjoyed their iced coffee, Italian and decaf via. I thought I would just put the warning out there so folks don't waste time and money on this.

IN THE END
Please just help me figure out what I need to do with myself. I thought that possibly writing is what I have been destined to do since I could ever remember. But let’s be honest. I don’t write. I think about it often enough but I don’t do it.
I suppose I am just not a story teller. If I can’t write stories that then what do I write? Why have I ever felt that was something that I needed to do in my life? Something I have had niggling in the back of my mind for as long as I can ever think to remember. I do not have the discipline to sit down and just focus on something to write out a story. I am so foolish. I think of everything else than just what I should be doing in this moment.
Anyone post something new on face book in the last two minutes since I looked?
I think I dried a load of laundry yesterday that means I probably need to pull that out and put in the load from the washer. The dishwasher is full of clean dishes, probably should put them away. Look there, I should be doing these things than just sitting here writing. What a waste of my time!! Guess that also means that I’m wasting your time. I always figured that if someone was having issues with insomnia, my trivial blog would be a good source that puts them to sleep.
Maybe it is time for me to just come to terms with reality. The only authoring I am going to ever do will be the journals I scribble in.
Think this might be my last entry. If I do post something again, just might be awhile. Not that my words will be missed among the vastness of the interwebs – but I just thought I’d give folks a heads up. I’m doing you a favor by stopping.

Heaven is for Real - book soon to be a movie
A friend has posted a link on Facebook about a movie preview based on the book, "Heaven is for Real."
The preview caught my interest, so I requested a copy of the book from the library. The copy finally this week, and I started reading it here an there. Yesterday I had more time available, so I had sat down to read more. When I was approximately half way through the book, I was deeply struck. My heart felt some of the things that this family experienced. May not be the exact same situations, but it brought up memories. Not bad ones, but ones that are deeply stored in my heart.
Even if this book is possibly fully fiction, it is still a great story. This father recorded what his son had shared with him after the boy had visited heaven. The child had become very ill, requiring surgery. And during this time the child has memories of seeing his parents praying and also visiting heaven.
I loved this book so much that I now own a copy of it. I plan on reading this again soon. If there was a book I could easily recommend to anyone, this book would be it. Certainly easy enough to read through quickly, especially for those who have the busiest schedules.
There is even a webpage for this book.

iPod again, yes indeed
Have not fully tested this but read that one ipod user turns their ipod to airplane mode when experiencing a sudden Wifi connection drops. This user said he wants for the count of 5 seconds and then turns odd airplane mode. This has stopped the crash, and white apple splash. Hope it works, it sure is quite annoying to not have something work like it should.

Gratitude Journal
Was looking at a Facebook page called The Writer's Circle. They had posted a writing prompt talking about writing a gratitude journal. I love to journal. It allows me to process my thoughts. Often times it is when something is troubling me and i need to work through the idea some how. A way of putting it out there and hashing out what I need to think about. I probably write most often when things are bothering me, and not as often as writing things that I am grateful for. Now I do journal from time to time about things that have been a blessing in my life. I probably need to spend more time doing this, so I have a better record and or log of those good moments and less about the bad. Though the thing of it is, my writing helps me deal with those negative issues, so that no longer have "play" time in my mind. And I suppose the word play has a double meaning. To play, as in to play a song, or to play as in a play ground. I find that when the negative tapes are playing, I can write that stuff down, deal with it, and no longer have to keep going over and over the same thing.

iPod crashing - WORK AROUND - update
Even though I went through the process of visiting the Apple Genius bar three times, and having my iPod touch 5th generation replaced, I am still having crashing issues. This has been quite a problem. When the iPod starts crashing the battery life shortens. The reason this is such an issue, this is the current operating system on all new iPhones. I have googled this issue several times. There was post made that apple is working on releasing iOS 7.1 - the current version is 7.0.4. (as of right now while I'm writing)
One thing I have noticed is that when my iPod is about to crash it has trouble connecting to the home wifi. (which if you read through the previous posts i have my home wifi broadcasting on channel 5 instead of having it set to auto channel select) If an iOS devices looses its internet connection it will start scanning channels over and over.
Blah, Blah, Blah - boring technical stuff, BUT how do I fix my problem?
This is not a fix, but it has been a work around that has stopped my iPod from crashing just as long as I catch it in time. Suddenly there will be an internet connectivity issue - the whirly thing will start going near the wifi antenna icon. Swipe up to reveal the control panel, turn off the wifi or go to airplane mode. Next close all applications running, one of them could be the offender or all but not really sure just which one in particular has caused the crashes. After a moment you should be able to turn your wifi back on or airplane mode off. Usually this works to circumvent a crash/reboot.
Also if I just turn off the wifi my iPod remains working while not in current use. How do I know its not crashing while I'm not using it? I look at the battery usage since last full charge. If it had crashed the usage will be just --- (dashes) otherwise it will show the hours its been on standby and the hours its been used.
Hopefully this will be useful to someone else.

A Sermon with out Words
A member of the church, who previously had been attending services regularly, stopped going. After a few
weeks, the pastor decided to visit him.
It was a chilly evening. The pastor found the man at home alone, sitting before a blazing fire. Guessing the
reason for his pastor's visit, the man welcomed him, led him to a comfortable chair near the fireplace and waited.
The pastor made himself at home but said nothing. In the grave silence, he contemplated the dance of the
flames around the burning logs. After some minutes, the pastor took the fire tongs, carefully picked up a
brightly burning ember and placed it to one side of the hearth all alone then he sat back in his chair, still silent.
The host watched all this in quiet contemplation. As the one lone ember's flame flickered and diminished, there
was a momentary glow and then its fire was no more. Soon it was cold and dead.
Not a word had been spoken since the initial greeting.The pastor glanced at his watch and realized it was time
to leave. He slowly stood up, picked up the cold, dead ember and placed it back in the middle of the fire. Immediately it began to glow, once more with the light and warmth of the burning coals around it.
As the pastor reached the door to leave, his host said with a tear running down his cheek, 'Thank you so much
for your visit and especially for the fiery sermon. I will be back in church next Sunday.'
We live in a world today, which tries to say too much with too little. Consequently, few listen. Sometimes the
best sermons are the ones left unspoken.
-----------
The author is unknown to me for the story written above. But it is something to think about. I say often that many times Christians walk this earth and by their example they might be the only "bible" many will ever read. Sort of sad that a few "apples" spoil it for many good "apples" out there. That's a good one -"bad apples" . It was an apple that started a lot of things. But we should do what we can to do our best. Live a life that shows the Love God has for us. Sounds pretty good to me. Though there are certainly times when that can be a pretty large challenge. But this is one that can be very rewarding.
