be the gospel

below is a cool video by Spring harvest about god's perfect love enjoy,
 
 we need to not only do Gospel but we need to be gospel, Francis of Assisi once said
"preach to all the world and if recessionary use words"
we need to be Jesus to people and take Jesus to People, we need to help and love people and love the lest the last and the lost as Jesus Does. if people are having problems help them, we should never use words but actions, the Gospel is not a how or what its a person Jesus we should serve people as Jesus served people, our role model is Jesus, lets be Jesus to people and serve and love them as he did

a look at Google glass

below is a cool look at google glass.



Google glass is a wearable computer by Google which has the ability to capture the world as you see it in real time and share it to anyone you want.

Google glass is like a head up display in a fighter aircraft, which can present information such as directions how to get somewhere right in front of you, superimposed on the real world.

It gives you all the information you need such as translations, flight times etc either on the display or in your ear without the device getting in the way of your life, or without people knowing what you are doing.
below is a quote from Google about Google glass

"We started Project Glass to build technology that’s seamless, beautiful and empowering. To share the world through your eyes. To get answers and updates, instantly. To be there when you need it, and out of your way when you don’t."

Robot Car

you may have seen the TV series knight rider where a car called KITT drives itself around America, KITT driving ability came from TV special effects, the car in the video below is real, and was developed by The Mobile Robotics Group of the University of Oxford

The brain of the car is an Ipad and the car, can even sense people walking in the road this makes the car stop

In a article about the car the Guardian news paper said this about the car This can be found at http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/video/2013/feb/15/robot-car-ipad-video

“Robotic technology from Oxford University that allows a car to 'drive itself' for stretches of a journey. The route is programmed using an iPad application and the driver is then free to take his hands off the steering wheel. The car also uses sensors to read its surroundings, and will stop if it detects pedestrians crossing the road”

God in the Storm

below is a cool song by Casting Crown

 
Casting Crowns-"Praise You In This Storm

sometimes life is hard and we get hurt and we carry around pain in our lives, this is said to be called baggage, God does not want us to carry the baggage of the past around with us and wants to heal us of it, all we have to do is bring it to him

sometimes God claims the storm and sometimes he rides them with us, when we went through these situations in our lives god was with us and he carried you because he loves us.

don’t worry trust god

Jeremiah 29:11 is a very cool verse in the bible, that speaks of god knowing our future so, we should not
worry about it

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yU2mhYm18dI
I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.
Jeremiah 29:11 - The Message

we worry about lots of things and we should not, God knows our future, all we have to do this walk in it and trust God that he knows what he is doing and he knows what is best for us, god loves us and is with us, the future is not a Surprise to God
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Matthew 6:25-32 English Standard Version

God loves us and is always with us we are not alone going through life, he carries us in the bad times of life there is a cool poem called Footprints which shows this very well
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed He was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from His life. For each scene He noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One belonging to Him and the other to the LORD. When the last scene of His life flashed before Him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of His life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of His life. This really bothered Him and He questioned the LORD about it. LORD you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why when I needed you most you would leave me. The LORD replied, my precious, precious child, I Love you and I would never leave you! During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.
Carolyn Carty, 1963

Minority Report-Style Gestures will be possible soon

ever wanted to use a computer like they did on Minority report, well here is your chance, Asus and leap motion are bringing out a device, that will bring the ability to control your computer with hand Gestures

the device will come with asus all-in-ones and laptops soon, and can be used with windows 8, check out this quote from the wired website

"Imagine a Microsoft Kinect on steroids and you have a good idea of how Leap Motion works. The motion controller tracks in-air movement to 1/100th of a millimeter. But instead of watching you dance, the Leap creates 8 cubic feet of 3-D space that is recreated on the computer and can be interacted with via hands, pens or random objects you find lying around your home.

One of the more intriguing aspects of the Leap Motion on a Windows 8 machine is that the Live Tiles can be manipulated without having to touch a computer’s display. CEO and co-founder Michael Buckwald told Wired, “In terms of the basic Windows 8 control experience, Leap can provide a better experience than a touchscreen.

The Leap Motion will ship Windows 8 and OS X ready. Support for ARM devices including smartphones and tablets will be available in the future."

Smartphones Will Replace Your Car Keys by 2015

here is a interesting idea every thought of opening your car with a smartphone, by 2015 this may be happening.

here is a quote from http://mashable.com/2012/12/28/nfc-smartphone-car-keys/

South Korean Hyundai Motor Company predicts by 2015 drivers will be able to unlock car doors and start the engine with a swipe of a smartphone over an embedded near-field communication tag.

But, that’s not all your smartphone can do. Connected car systems will be able to detect your phone automatically to stream your favorite music, phone contacts and radio station preferences seamlessly. Seat and mirror settings will also automatically change depending on who is at the steering wheel. The best part is your battery will wirelessly charge while it’s sitting in the center console, according to Hyundai.

all I can say is don't loose your smart phone or you will not be able to enter your car
