Announcing: Sanders and related families genealogy information now online!

 I have set up the Sanders family genealogy information that I have collected over the years on a new website at http://genealogy.canofworms.com.  Although it needs some more work, I think it would be good to go ahead and begin opening it up to family members.  The site primarily contains the ancestral information stemming back from my parents.  

I am using some very exciting software called PhpGedView that is loaded with a ton of features.  I'm discovering new things all the time.  For example, if you configure each location correctly, you can even show a google map with tags of all the important events in an ancestors lifetime.  The downside is that it is a lot of work to set it up properly, so there will be some rough edges for a while yet.

SERMON OUTLINES FOR LIVING

Our Faith

 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  For by it the elders obtained a good report.                      Hebrews 11:1-2

Faith in God is a way of life for Christians and grants them substance for overcoming obstacles of life. The eleventh chapter of Hebrews portrays the various ways faith is demonstrated in Christ. May the subjects posted here be read and become useful to people who need comfort in their walk with God.

Netbook as eBook Reader PDF Print E-mail

One of the uses that I had envisioned for a netbook is as an eBook reader. To me, the whole eBook marketplace seems like a mess. One of the better current efforts looks to be the Amazon Kindle, a 10 oz device that has a sharp black and white screen and holds around 200 books. The price for the Kindle starts at $359 US, about the same price as a netbook. From the price standpoint, it did not make a lot of sense to me to purchase a single purpose eBook reader when for about the same amount I could have a miniature computer that would do a lot of other things too.

Of course, the Kindle is not the only device out there that is capable of displaying electronic books. Some cell phones are capable, but the minuscule screen size is a killer. I used to read ebooks on my Compaq ipaq, which was OK, but it took about six screens on the ipaq to equal one book page.

So, the question is how does a netbook stand up as an ebook reader?

SERMON OUTLINES FOR LIVING

Take Heed To Yourself!

Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. Hebrews 2:1

Introduction:

What God has given through his word is important. Every word was given as a help to prepare us for eternity. Therefore we should pay attention to our own person in the matter of salvation. While the worldly person today is looking out for No.1 they don’t have God and eternity in mind, so it is our duty to be sure we live right by God’s purpose. In doing so we will save ourselves and perhaps be, an example that shows others how to save themselves from the coming collision. between good and evil.
