How can you use your Android phone as a tool for writing a Blog?

 

 I didn’t promoting this Alcatel one touch 918N, I just want to share my happiness for having this, and I use it for making my blog.

This my 2nd time to have a Alcatel unit, it was years 2006, if I’m not mistaken, my last Alcatel was not good, it’s easy to break, but now it’s more advance.

I acquire this new Alcatel last year 2012, its has a low monthly payment plan than the other, that why I choose this, this is my first android phone, it very useful for a blogger like me, ask me why, because in this unit I can make my blog easily, at my spare time, I don’t need a pen and paper to write my blog, it’s very comfortable.

 Here is how you can use your andriod phone as a tool for writing a blog.

• First, I download color note app, from Google play, Alcatel has its own built in note, but I want the one has a color. some built in note app in the cellphone have a words limit, if you reach that limit it will automatically direct you to another page, so, your article will cut, not like the color note I've been download, you can continue you article without cut or going to another pages of note, you can send it to email in the whole paragraph, its easy.

• From this color note app, I write my blog, when my blog is done; I email this to my Gmail.

• From Gmail inbox, I copied it, then paste to my blog site, to facebook or to twitter, and or to other social media sites.

• Then, just a little editing it’s ready to publish it.

 

It’s like a computer you can browse what site you want, you can copy anything from the website to color note, like letter, picture, and article.

Other thing I like here is you can turn on and off the mobile data connection, so, you have no worry to get a big bill at the end of the month, not like other its always on, it come to 32 gig memory card, it really very useful to me, it like a mini computer, Wi-Fi, dual band and affordable.

Monetary Offering: Why we should Give Monetary Offering

Other people has been stumble of some practice of other Church, like, giving an offering of money in the Church, maybe because they have no enough money to give, instead of giving it as an offering, they use their money to the most important things for them, this system corrupted their mind and the cause is they didn’t go to Church anymore because they have no money to offer, they also feel ashamed that their brethren give an offering while they are not.

This question asked by some people, why we should give a monetary offering to Church?

In my views, giving an monetary offering is a obedience to the law of God and we should not neglect it, as it says "Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have for such sacrifices are pleasing to God" (Heb 13:16 RSV) its one way of sharing your blessing, it’s a command from God not from men, as other have been misled to believe, they thought that it was the command of the church leader. but bible clarify it, as it says  "each one must give as he has made up his mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver (2Cor 9:7 ESV) that‘s why we should give a monetary offering, like other Church do, they give it voluntary despite of the hardest of life financially, in following God Command, there is no exemption from officer down to members gives an offering, so, why we stumble, if we have a strong faith in God, we can do this without hesitation.

Even the life is financially hard, this should not become a hinder to perform our duty to God, it’s just a small amount of money compare to the life that God given to us every day, God who give us everything we should give it back to God too, Poverty is not reason to perform our duty, In the Bible the brethren showed how they followed God, “In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. (2Cor 8:2 NIV) they use their poverty to be rich in generosity.

This is pleasing to God if we do an offering in accordance to his will, "For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for [your] liberal distribution unto them, and unto all [men];" (2Cor 9:12-13)

Giving an offering also provide for the spiritual need of the member of the church, it help also to build more temple, house of worship for God.”Build the temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified says the Lord" (Hag 1:8 NKJV) as well as it help also in the conversion of many people bringing them to the true faith.

Above all, in these good deeds we have an assurance for God eternal reward, "That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life." (1Tim 6:18-19 NKJV)

I’m not saying that we should give an offering for eternal reward but let’s give an offering to obey God‘s command.  We should not be stumble by this system, no one is urging us to give a monetary offering it is a voluntary according your will, and we should go to Church whatever happened, there is 7 days a week 6 days for our work and the 7^th day should be to God.

In fact, why we should go to Church for the offering or for GOD?

The objective in going to Church is to seek, to build our relationship with God and others. We go to Church to fulfill an obligation through worshiping God and Praising Him; this is an encounter with God. Not going to church because you deserve a sleep-in or to do other work is not a reason why you miss Church or you have no money to offer. The problem is much deeper than that - it is a matter of selfishness.

Furthermore, you do not control your life. You cannot guarantee that you will be alive the next week, day, hour or moment. Human life is a gift from God and He controls the measure of it “Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be”. (Psalm 139:16)

So, we should go to Church to fulfill our Obligation TO GOD.

Second. Its need a strong desire, you should control yourself, don’t wait to fall and become a fugitive of Credit Card Company, do something before it's too late.

Here are some suggestion how we can control our self from impulsive buying.

Credit cards

1, Don’t buy the things if you didn't need it, think it twice before you make a move and ask yourself, do I need it? If not, leave the place immediately.

2. If you have two or more credit cards, close the others, maintain one only, and settle first your last purchase before you use it again. Credit card can certainly be convenient but it can be dangerous too, when it comes to impulsive buying.

3. Don’t bring your credit card if you have no plan to buy something, so, if you happened to pass at the mall, you will not attract to buy. It’s not wrong to have a credit card but you should use it wisely, it’s become problem if you use it excessively, no one will help you, even the credit card company, but yourself only.

4. Make a list if you go to grocery or department store. List the more important things to buy. Purchase only what on the list, sometimes we fall into the trap on buying when we a hungry and buying more than we need, the list will help you to control your spending.

5. Try to shop on line, it can also help you to control your spending, rather than, go to the mall where there is a temptation to buy. In online shop you have also a time to think or decide, if you will buy your choose or not, according to your need.

6. Before spending a lot of money on your purchase discuss it first to your husband, or family member, ask their opinion, they can help you decide whether it not or wise to purchase such things.

7. Make a habit to say no, rather than saying I want it. There is so many option all you need is to control yourself on buying.

My Advice:

If you want something, think of your budget and your financial capacity, the important thing is, organized first your finances. Don’t become an Impulsive Buyer it has a greater effect in your life.

Know where you Stand..

I notice this signed at the escalator of Metro Rail Transit Station, it says, “Stand on your Right” “keep the left side open for rushing Passenger” sometime we didn’t know where we stand, the reason why we always got a problem or we are actually the problem, because we don’t know where we stand, we bypass the right of other people.

The management saw some problem, literally, in the escalator or stairway, which is why, they organized their passenger for hassle free passage going to Station, by putting this signed, as standing in Right Side, if you are not in a hurry, in this manner, you will not block the rushing passenger by letting them to pass in a left Side. So, everybody’s happy.

In our life, the trouble arise if we don’t know where we stand, because of our excitement and quickness we created a wrong move that causes failure to us, without thinking what will happen that, sometime affect to the people around us, it could not happen if we know where we should be, we should think others and respect their right, thus, no people will blame us by their troubled or problem.

In the bible, God also remind us to know where we stand, in praying, God didn’t hear a person who didn’t know what exactly he want, his mind keep changing like a wave in the sea, “That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do” (James 1:7-8) we have to be firm or stand of what we ask for. We must stand in faith, if you have no faith and you ask God for something you can’t receive it.

This is just a simple signed, some people didn’t follow this, but for the organized people, it is a good sign to follow and apply in life. Knows where you stand, so, you wouldn’t be a problem to other people.
