Bloggers Link Another Story That Is On The Mark

Google makes video
play with YouTube buy>>>more
from CNet.com website

It finally happened...Google purchased YouTube. I think what really blows me away is not the purchase of YouTube (it was rumored that pretty soon YouTube might have went under do to the bandwidth cost to the company) but the fact that once again, a blogger broke the story.

Remember when we were in the grocery store and we saw magazines like the National Enquirer and other magazines that we would just walk right past them because they were 90-95% crap and the rest may and I say a small may have been true. Now these 'throw' away newspapers (can't believe I just called them newspapers) have more truth and break more stories it seems than People, Time, Newsweek and other legit news organizations.

I think some of it now comes from the fact of, you guessed it...technology. Ted Turner started it all with CNN to be honest. People thought he was nuts to start a 24hour, around the coverage news organization. Yep, he was crazy..crazy like a multi-billionaire fox. Now we have the Weather Channel, ESPN, the Golf Channel, Speed Channel. Yep Ted, you were the innovator.

It was the blogs that told on Mark Foley and this leak with the Google purchase of YouTube. Most blogs you have to take it with a grain of salt but rather the big news organization want to recognize this or not, bloggers are making there mark when it comes to delivering news. Hurricane Katrina, the war in Iraq, the news is getting out to the masses..the good and the bad. Even now when you go to websites (CNN, MSNBC, CNet) they have 'blog" sections on their site.

I listened to my TWiT podcast today and they were kind of scoffing about the Google/YouTube story. John C. Dvorak (you're still my hero) did not think this was legit...sorry John.

Yes, blogs are here to stay and that gives me hope that maybe I can do this full time one day soon.

Devotions for Monday

Keep Running!>>>more
from Harvest Online

Here it is another Monday morning, going into a job that is something I really don't care for, speaking with people that I not really grateful, working with some people that I don't get along with from time to time. I want to call in, I want to take this day and rest from the long weekend dealing with 4 beautiful grandchildren and our wonderful niece. I could take off, I have some PTO available but I have to keep pressing on because I have an obligation to my God, myself, to my wife, to my job.

It's the same for our Lord and Savior, He did not have to go to calvary for us but He did so we can have a covenant with God again. There are going to be times when we get tired of the persucutions of others, dealing with the rejection from co-workers, family members, friends who don't understand your way of living for the Lord...you have to keep pressing on not only for ourselves but for Jesus Christ. We have to reach as many people as possible not only by our words but by our actions, the way we live our lives.

Everyday before I sit in front of the computer I get nervous on what to type, what to say, I go blank. And every time my Heavenly Father gives me the words and wisdom to say what needs to be shared with you, the readers. Satan attacks me every morning, "why are doing this? This is a waste of time. You're not reaching anyone. You're never going to be able to do this full-time." But he's a liar because whenever you're close to your mark that is when it becomes the roughest to keep going. It's worth the pain to keep pushing forward.

Whatever God has put in your heart to pursue, being a doctor, being a writer, being a stay home mother (which is a full time job in itself...what would we do without you), your children will try you, test and exams may get tough, not getting the reconition you deserve...keep pushing on because your hard work is not in vain. Your Father is putting people in your path that one day when you least expect it your hard work will all pay off. I remember what Dr. Charles Stanley once said and I hold on to it..." when we are waiting, God is working."

Hold on to the faith.

Have a Blessed and Productive Monday.
