Giving Goowy Another Chance

About 3 years ago I heard about this web based site on Net@Night and I gave Goowy a shot. What I didn't know that it was a AJAX based site and if you have a older machine you may not want to use it. It's really just for show really but I liked it because of some of the cool things it could do. Well fast forward to today and I have decided to give it another chance.

I must warn you again if you do not have a nice processor and at least 2GB of RAM in your machine this will not flow as nice. It's not as stable like GMail but one thing I wish Gmail had is the ability to create different folders instead of placing stars for important emails. Goowy is cool really for the younger generation because of the "eye candy" and you can create different widgets for your desktop...it has a calender, you can create tabs, subscribe to rss feeds, it has a music player {which for some reason I have loaded a song on it and couldn't get it to work so I need to send a comment on that}. Overall it's pretty cool. With email you can create folders to keep your important emails in different areas. You get about 2GB of storage which compared to Yahoo Mail and Gmail is 'chump change' but I read that later they will be offering larger storage capacity later down the road so that may be cool and 2GB of storage is nothing to sneeze at...that's still a nice size.

What surprises me is that it's still around (well, AOL acquired them so that lets me know it may be around for a minute) give it chance see you like it.

*update[5:23pm]: I just did a re-install of flash player & shockwave player and now my music player is working fine with goowy.

Reflections for Wednesday

devotion from rbc ministries

This devotion and biblical passage speaks to me and me personally. I think sometimes we forget than when reading God's word we have to take personal and not just "words on pages". I have to remind myself of this. These past weeks I have truly taken my eyes off the prize and have been looking backward instead of looking forward, searching for approval and not doing what God wants me to do. But God is so patient with me and I thank him for that.

It blows me away how focus Christ was. Nothing took him by surprise. I'm not saying he did not get disappointed or he did not get tired or hungry or thirsty because as we know, he was all man and all God(and I still can't wrap my mind around that but it is awesome). Jesus knew and knows today that we as humans we can get caught up in people praises and their insults; we can be our own worse enemy when it comes to dwelling on mistakes (I'm still kinda stewing that I allowed 56 free songs go to waste from eMusic because I let the promotion expire on me last night but I got to shake it off). We as followers of Christ have to know the cost when it comes to following him and Jesus tells us time and time again in detail what that cost may be when deciding to do it his way instead of the world's way.

He[Jesus] also reminds me that when following him I can not take my eye off of him, his commands, his principles...not one second. It's amazing how little by little we drift away from him and before we know it we do not get on our knees or face to pray, we do not read God's word and before long we are wondering why we react to certain situations the way we do, why even in times of prosperity we are still not content and joyful. I can not stew in my failures or bask and glow in my successes...always have to give God his time, always have to move forward because life does not stand still, time is being that you can not bribe, cheat, bargain with no matter what we try and do and slow it down.

I have to do this...God[his word, his principles, me being obedient to him] first, wife second, me third. When doing that how can I lose?

Be Blessed, Be Safe,
& Have a Wonderful Wednesday
