What the Flock?
I heard about the Flock browser (http://www.flock.com) several years ago, I think I even tried it at one point. That was before I was really using the social web. Now with accounts on Twitter, Digg, Facebook, YouTube, Del.icio.us and many others, Flock really makes sense. I can blog directly from Flock; I can see all my friends updates; I can br

Uncle Bill and his Iced Coffee
My Uncle Bill passed away a couple of weeks ago. He was the first to die in my parents’ generation on my dad’s side of the family. Although he had been ill, his death was unexpected. I’ll miss his dry humor and his dinner table antics. My memories of Uncle Bill are probably similar to my brother and sister, his love for fishing and tennis and practical jokes.

Learning by observing
Children learn what they observe.
If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn and be judgmental.
If children live with hostility, they learn to be angry and fight.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to be shy and withdrawn.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If children live with tolerance, they learn to be patient.
If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.
If children live with praise, they learn to appreciate.
If children live with fairness, they learn justice.
If children live with security, they learn to have faith.
If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.

God, the manager
“I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn’t need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about?”

“Instead of saying ‘God, look how big my problem is,’ we should be saying ‘problem, look how big my God is.'”

When everything seems to go wrong, just push.
When the job gets you down, just push.
When people don’t react the way you think they should, just push.
When your money looks funny and the bills are due, just push.
When you want to curse them out for whatever the reason, just push.
When you ask the question, when is my ship coming in? (as I often do), just push.
When people just don’t understand you, just push.
Not to continue on and on…let me tell you what PUSH stands for.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!
There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer, no disease that enough love will not heal, no door that enough love will not open; no gulf that enough love will not bridge; no wall that enough love will not throw down; no sin that enough love will not redeem. It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble, how hopeless the outlook, how muddled the tangle, how great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. If only you could love enough you would be the happiest and most powerful being in the world.
