Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

How Church Websites Can Be A Benefit

By Shannon Behan


Church websites can be of a great benefit to a church. They can be used to pass information along to current members as well as to inform potential visitors about their services. Many people use the internet and having a website for your church can be a great way to get in touch with everyone at one time.

You will want to have general information listed about your church on your website. The dates and times of the services are important to have listed. The address along with a list of people to contact can also be useful. Many times someone may have a question and having this information will make it easier for them.

If you wish you can also include a some of the beliefs that your church follows. Allowing other to see what your main doctrine is can help them decide if this church may be a good fit for them. You can also let them know how your congregation differs from others that have similar faiths.

If you have recreational programs that you offer you may want to list those as well. Many times parents may be interested in a place to have their children during the service such as a nursery room. They may also be interested in children's programs that their kids can be a part of.

You may also wish to have a calender of events listed on your site as well. You can use this as a way to keep members current of events that are going on. It can also be used as a way to entice potential visitors of things that they may find interesting. Many times it will be a helpful reminder to all.

Many churches also participate in programs that help the local community. If your church offers assistance in the form of a food pantry or assists with utilities, you may want to list that also. Many people look for resources with these items and this will give them a option to go to for assistance.

The Best Digital Point and Shoot Digital Camera Deals

By Viviahn Seyz


A great point and shoot camera for travel in the outdoors, or other sport hobbies: You will need to sort through bad pocket size cameras to get to the one you want. No camera company, no matter how good, gets it right all the time. But improvements are being made. There are many things that makers need to consider and sometimes, comprises and sacrifices need to be made. There are many reviews and other reading available if you are interested in getting a digital pocket size camera. Before buying anything, read the following reviews on some selections that may be of interest.

This camera is easy on your pocket book and finances and mental health in the home: You may want to consider the Canon PowerShot S90 if you want a camera that takes high quality photos indoors without using a flash. Many digital cameras makers will take a line and create some specificity, or rather particular strong points and applications. The S90 performs great in low-light conditions with its wide angle lens and ability to capture subtle object details. You can also use the large display for viewing your pictures.

The point and shoot of choice by blogs: The EXR sensor has three modes of EXR that can be selected. Because of these different modes, you essentially have three cameras in one. Highest resolution, optimum dynamic range, and lowest possible noise are the three different modes for you to choose from. Also, going further, the F80EXR will automatically analyze the scene and make the best choice for you - a bit impressive, we think. From your finances to your garden: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20 is for a particular market that prefers a "point and shoot" camera without need for overly powerful zoom capabilities.

Next up is the Olympus Stylus Tough 8010 which has been truly built for the outdoors.

This camera can survive almost religious or spiritual trials: Because it can withstand going just beyond 30 feet underwater, this is a waterproof camera. This ultra compact camera lives up to its name of tough. It comes with the standard array of LCD display, zoom, built-in flash, and it has 14 megapixels of resolution which is way overkill in our minds. But the market for this camera could very well be those who love the rugged outdoors and want a camera that can take a little punishment from the elements. This camera is designed to survive a six foot drop as well as being waterproof. This camera is also supposed to freeze and crush proof. Talk about tough!

Being named the best is not a marketing ploy: The PowerShot SD750 is included in the reviews because it's such an outstanding pocket size camera. You'll find a solid digital camera that includes greater than average movie quality plus face detection, of course. Photographs produced by this camera represent high ISO quality. There is no better choice for a digital camera when it comes to an ultra-compact design and large LCD screen. There is a market for the features included in this camera, and those are the people who love taking "snap shots" and don't care so much for using an optical viewfinder. This particular LCD screen is 3 inches and may not be as clean or crisp as other screens but is easy to see in the sun. And there are a few of the lower end pocket size cameras. These cameras would work well to test out if you've never used a digital ultra compact camera. They are priced very reasonably and do provide decent enough picture quality.
