Social Media

I use social media platforms that I like to communicate online. I think it is a good thing. Social media is good to use because you can connect with those whom you haven’t seen in a long time. I do not only use social media when I am online, I use the internet to look up things that I want to know about, especially when I am doing research on something. If it were not for social media and the internet, it would be hard to contact those we haven’t communicated with in a long time. I communicate online to reach out to financial places, to reach out to my school, and lots of other things. I can remember when I first used social media, it was in 2001. It was so foreign to me. I didn’t know what to think about it. I learned how to use the internet to look up things. I used Facebook for the first time. I learned what “www” meant. I learned how to copy and paste. I learned how to use PowerPoint and Microsoft Word. I learned about the different search engines, different apps, and different platforms, I learned how to shop online, and I learned how to make things small, I learned how to use a laptop computer for the first time. Everything I learned, I figured it out on my own. I didn’t have books to look at to show me what to do. I just typed stuff in the search bar to see what would come up. When I saw how simple that was, everything else became easy. To be honest, I am still learning new things about computers, the internet, and so much more. I was really excited when I learned how to take pictures from my phone and add them to my computer. I had a Gateway laptop. I used it for everything until the keyboard quit working. That was the computer I learned everything on. when it went out, I didn’t know what to do. I tried to fix it myself, but to no avail, I couldn’t. After that, I decided to buy another computer. I felt so much better when I purchased it. It’s not the brand I had, but it gets the job done.

Yes, communicating online is great. I think it will improve with different communication platforms besides the ones we use now. I hope they create something where we can smell food through the screen with just the touch of a button, that would be cool. I wonder how hard it would be to communicate if we had to use telephone directories to look up a new place, or a phone number that we didn’t have. We would have to use the newspaper to look for new places and resort to friends for information. We would be in a terrible fix. So, I am thankful to have the internet. Not having the internet leaves you in the dark about things. You don’t know what’s going on in the world, and it is like living in the dark ages.

Well, I am tired. I am going to call it a night. Until next time, stay safe, stay warm, and keep up with what’s going on on the internet.

My Life: From the Back Burner

I was just thinking about when I first wrote my book. I am so proud of this achievement because, at one time in my life, it was just a dream that I never thought I would see come true. The day I held my dream in my hands brought tears to my eyes. It is something I will always remember. I will have the opportunity to tell my grandson about it. Every time I look at it, my heart fills with joy and happiness. Seeing my dreams come true is such a marvelous miracle. Working on my second book has been a challenge, but I know I will eventually finish it. I am in no hurry because I want it to be perfect. For everyone who has a dream, don’t give up on it, and don’t give up on yourself.

My book can be found on Amazon.com

As always, thank you for joining me on my journey with Food for the Soul.

The New Analyzed Bible (3 Volumes) Olive 🍃 Tree

3 Volumes

G. Campbell Morgan understood the unity and connectedness of every part of the Bible, sharing this understanding through his Analyzed Bible. “Telescopic” in nature, his study focused on the structure of the Bible in broad strokes, leaving others to plumb the depths of individual verses and chapters.

Under Campbell’s expert guidance, readers can walk through this soaring panorama of Scripture, gaining the overall contextual understanding of each book’s unique place in the whole of Scripture. Each analysis begins with a clearly charted outline, followed by further detail and discussion of the major conceptual divisions contained within that section.

The Analyzed Bible study system lays a solid foundation to understand how the beautiful redemption story of Scripture unfolds. It sets the perfect stage for later study by providing the users a deep grasp of the scope, context, content, and outline of the Bible as a whole.

WHO IS GEORGE CAMPBELL MORGAN?

George Campbell Morgan (1863 – 1945) pastored Westminster Chapel in London from 1904 to 1919, and again from 1933 to 1943 where he mentored Martyn Lloyd-Jones, who would succeed him in the Westminster pulpit.

Morgan had no formal training for ministry, but his commitment to study and teaching of the Word led to his popularity, with thousands in attendance at his weekly Bible classes. In his many trips from his native England to America, Morgan was invited to lecture at Moody Bible Institute and teach at Biola. In 1902 he was given a Doctor of Divinity degree by the Chicago Theological Seminary.
