At the end of the day...

Our Daily Bread
Have you noticed how different phrases come and go in the English language?  One of my least favorites, due to overuse at work, is "at the end of the day".  It is supposed to mean "in conclusion" or "when it is all said and done".  Did I mention it is overused?  ;-p

I was reminded of this phrase by the scripture passages from Proverbs for today's devotional.  It talks about the phrase "in the end" meaning the results of our decisions and their consequences.  God can give us wisdom to make better decisions so we don't have the negative consequences of bad decisions!  Yes, he can!  Just trust him.  Ask him for wisdom.  At the end of the day, it is his wisdom that gives us a life that is not ordinary!

Lord, please help us seek wisdom so we can make the decisions that are best for us!

Technology Thursday
I had a friend ask me what the hot phone is this summer.  I found a great article on what phone to buy if you weren't buying an iPhone!  Many folks that want the latest and greatest plan to wait a few more months for the iPhone 5 due out this Fall.  If you are not an Apple fan, here are some options for you.


Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX (Verizon)
Verizon and Motorola boast that the device, available for $199 with a new two-year contract, offers the longest battery life of any Android smartphone. Yet it’s still surprisingly slim, packs in 4G LTE capabilities, a dual-core processor and the ability to upgrade to the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system. The RAZR MAXX also offers a Super AMOLED 4.3-inch Advanced display with its 540x960 pixel resolution, making it quite energy efficient. With its rugged construction and Motorola’s exceptional radio quality, the RAZR MAXX is an old classic that is as sharp as ever.

Nokia Lumia 900 (AT&T) 
With an elegant design, 4.3-inch display and superb battery life, the Lumia 900 from a hardware perspective can go head-to-head with any handheld device on the market. There is also no shortage of speed as the phone is carried on AT&T’s 4G LTE network.

BlackBerry Bold 9900 (T-Mobile)
The best BlackBerry available today – and a great smartphone option for T-Mobile subscribers – is the Bold 9900. The phone offers both a QWERTY keyboard and sharp, 2.8-inch touchscreen display. Battery life is solid (although not spectacular) with more than six hours of talk time. The phone’s powerful 1.2GHz processor will not leave you in the lurch, particularly when you are viewing or sending 720p HD videos.

HTC One X (AT&T)/HTC EVO 4G LTE (Sprint)
Available through AT&T for $199 (with a new two-year contract), the HTC One X is the big daddy of the range. It offers swift 4G LTE performance with Beats Audio, a 4.7-inch 720p Super LCD HD screen, and an advanced 8-megapixel rear camera. On the inside, the One X sports Android’s latest Ice Cream Sandwich OS with HTC’s Sense 4 UI skin, plus access to hundreds of thousands of apps available in the Google Play store.

Samsung Galaxy S III (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular)
Samsung’s flagship handset device sports a huge, 4.8-inch 720x1280 HD Super AMOLED display, offers 4G LTE capabilities, microSD storage, and a speedy 1.4GHz quad-core processor. Running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with Samsung’s proprietary TouchWiz skin on top, the Korean manufacturer is flaunting the Galaxy III’s additional software capabilities. This includes S-voice natural language commands, eye-tracking, Dropbox cloud storage and smart alerts.
