Friends for ever...

We had never planned it; but I met these life long friends on December 23rd, 2016 during our brief vacation in the mother Lanka

Quick thought

So, that time has come…After eighteen years, nine months & fifteen days being with us together as one family, our daughter is leaving home tomorrow to go to the university in the UK. Tonight, I'm lost in words to describe how I'm feeling deep inside as I write this post. I'd better stop here!

Selfie time

Here are two recent selfies of Stephie and myself. One on the top was taken during breakfast at McDonald's this morning and the other was last Saturday during coffee at Costa at SZR Airline Centre.

10C blog post on Home screen

I just added 10C new post window to Home screen on my S7 edge, which would allow me to do quick blog posts on the fly.

10Cv2 is still here

I've just logged onto 10Cv2 admin interface after quite long time. This in search of a good note taking solution and to see whether 10Cv2 will solve my long outstanding note taking and ability to access and search notes seamlessly on the fly

Prayer

These are my notes from this afternoon's Word by Ruby
Very interesting topic - Prayer
What's prayer?
CCC2559: Prayer is the raising of one's mind & heart to God OR the requesting of good things from the God.

CCC2560: Prayer is the encounter of God's thirst with ours. God's thirsts that we may thirst for him.

What do we receive from Prayer?
The strength of Spirit(Ps 118-6)
Guidance(Is 58:8-11)
Peace(Phil 4:6-7)
Wisdom
Joy
Healing

Why are we not capable enough to pray at times?

Our relationship with God is not right
We do not give priority to God
God's word is not in our hearts
We do not create space and time for prayer
We are not honest to God

What can we do to increase God's love in us?
We have to learn to pray

Posting from a phone

I'm just trying out to see how practical it is to post here from the smart phone on the go.Standing in the front yard at home, I'm using my Galaxy S7 with Swype keyboard,

The content post window appears nicely on the phone screen without keyboard covering it, which is great. If I want keyboard to disappear, all I have to do is to slightly touch hardware back button in the bottom of the phone. That shows me Tags, Author and Date. I have to scroll down on the phone screen to see the rest like visibility, expiration, password and file upload. I think that's okay. 14643995340421054422876.jpg
