Overcomer

Our Daily Bread
How many times have we heard it or said it when someone asks us how we are doing - "I am surviving. Whew!" There have been many songs written over the years about not just surviving, but overcoming in this life! That's what I want to do! My recent favorite is Overcomer sung by Mandisa.

The devotional talks about the "Keep calm and " tshirts, mugs, posters, etc. that are everywhere now. I didn't realize that saying started in WW2! I missed that in my history classes. I think of how the disciples reacted to facing a violent storm at sea in a tiny boat. When Jesus awoke, he looked at them like "What? Seriously? I got this!" (that's my own translation, LOL). We can learn from that. As we all know, it is not always easy to "keep calm" when we are tossed by the winds and storms of life. Let us pray for each other that we can keep calm and praise God!

Lord, we know that you are always with us even when we can't feel you. Please help us keep calm and step out in faith!

Technology Thursday
Apple announcements
Apple opened their WWDC (developer conference) with their big announcement keynote presentation. This is always a news maker because it shows what will be next for the popular products. In summary, Apple will be bringing popular features from other platforms to iOS8 and will merge user interface features from the iPhone and iPad into the Mac OS 10.10 that will be available later this year.  Very interesting reading if you like Apple products (or even if you don't).  Click here to get to the two articles.

As a side note, I find it funny that critics don't say anything about Google or Samsung incorporating iOS features into their products, but Apple is accused of "copying" when they added some features available in Android to iOS8. Whatever.  LOL

We too can know this God and be assured of His presence. He has revealed Himself in His creation and in His Word. As we ask Him to make Himself known to us, we’ll learn that He is even more than the owner and creator of everything! - Our Daily Bread web site
