iPad vs. Fire Tablet

September 30, 2011 By Leave a Comment

The hot topic from Amazon is the Kindle Fire Tablet.  Now I don’t know if the “techies” out there are all excited about Amazon’s answer to the iPad, but I do believe this is capitalism at its best.  This type of competition is what separated Ford owners from Chevy.  Personally, I didn’t really think I would have an opinion on this topic when the news first broke.  Then I read what the Amazon public relations experts are saying, “18 million songs, movies, TV shows, books, magazines, apps and games are all available.”  Wait a minute…did they say books? 

Well…not to be biased or anything, but since I am an author, maybe my loyalty should belong to Amazon.  I mean, they were the first ones to make my book available.  I do have a direct link from my website to their store.  Oh no…what’s happening?  Can I be bought?  Is it true that we all have a price?

3 Ways To Make A Difference

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

This evening before you tuck yourself in for the night, say a little prayer.  Ask God to give you the love and compassion needed to meet the needs of the people He places in your life.  Start with your own family but don’t be afraid to expand.  If the guy on street asks for change, give him some.  If the car on your right wants to merge into your lane, let him.  If you see someone running to get into the elevator, hold the door open.  As St. Francis of Assisi said, “Preach the gospel always, if necessary use words.”

The Tongue

The Tongue

The human body is made up of numerous muscles.  The tongue being one of the smallest, yet with the tongue some of the largest battles in history began.  The lesson then is we must be careful and thoughtful prior to speaking. When our pride or ego has been threatened or we are driven by jealousy or selfish ambition, loss of tongue control can have a damaging effect.  Most of the time we hurt the ones we love the most.  If you need to apologize to someone for something you may have said in the past.  Do so today.  They may not forgive you but at least you have done the right thing.
