Tip of the Day 5/11/12

One of the most common replies to the question, "what would you grab in a fire?" is "my photos." We have so many that it would be impossible to grab them all. But thanks to modern technology we can electronically convert our photos and store them very easily in a fire safe with important papers. That is the one item you should grab if you ever find yourself having to evacuate your home. There are many programs that can help you convert the photos. Google's Picasa (picasa.google.com) is a free program that searches your hard drive for all photo files. Your hard copy photos can be scanned and easily organized and preserved. The choice to keep the hard copies is yours.

Word for Today, Listen: No one likes to be part of a one sided conversation, unless you are the one doing all the talking. We all want our opinions and thoughts heard, but one of the keys to friendship and knowledge is learning to listen. If all we ever do is talk TO God, how will we know what He has to say. We must learn to listen, to tune our ears to hear His voice. Just like a parent can recognize the sound of their own babies cry in a room full of crying children, you can recognize your Heavenly Father's voice through the noise of the world. Take the time to listen to Him, you will love what you hear.
