Are you ready for this September?

The last day of August has arrived and I am thankful for a productive and safe month. I was busy with on-site computer support, fixed many computer security, networking, and OS issues. The business I work for is Fast-teks, at www.fastteks.com. There is a franchise in most areas of the country, with knowledge techs to help you out of a computer problem quickly. I had some solid commissioned sales results in the electronic store I work at also. The Grand Teton park in Wyoming is the cool calendar picture above my desk, about to be changed with the arrival of September. In the same way, I will be moving to a new store for my sales job in the first week of September. In the fasttek job, there are plans for more business clients in the next few weeks. The mountain photo of my calendar reminds me of my short three-day vacation to Ski Beech earlier this month. On one day, we walked to the top of the mountain and took some pictures from the Land of Oz trail area. The weather was perfect, high 60's, like today oddly enough, with the rain and cold front in the area here in Raleigh. It was partly cloudy and you could see for miles in all directions from the top. I will try to post some pics of this view soon. It is exactly twelve noon here as I type out this post. Here is the important part: I believe that this September may be when the clock strikes 12:00 midnight, in God's prophecy calendar. As I change the page of my calendar, and view another incredible mountain (because it is a calendar of 12 mountain photos), God may change this world when the age of the church ends with the rapture. This is when all Christians are taken to a "higher place", like the top of a mountain to view the world below. Here are some political signs that point to the 7-year tribulation beginning this fall: the UN conference in late September will introduce a new Middle East peace plan, the EU parliamentary elections and EU Pres. Commission election in October will introduce new leaders. Here are some signs in the earth and sky: many close approaches by asteroids in late September and October that could hit the earth, the rings of Saturn will disappear in early Sept., increase of hurricanes this time of year (like Hugo that hit this area on 9/21), increase of earthquakes, and the Kraktoa volcano that could erupt soon. At my church we are talking about the Exodus in the sermon series, this could be another sign from God of our exodus to heaven in a few short weeks. Be sure that you are living right with God and with your neighboors, and you have asked for forgiveness of current sins. And don't be idle, but continue to work as you see the day approaching. If anyone reads this and wants to discuss other prophecies in the news that I didn't mention here in this short entry than post a comment with your questions. Have a great, happy, and blessed September.

Updates to May

Since my last post a lot has happened that I want to write about in this new entry. I am making progress in my golf video game, in the rivals mode, over half way complete, and playing it on the XP system. In the Arnold Palmer era, will see if the competition gets any better. My XP PC is still working well and I use it to install and test free software utilities and applications. My Vista system had to get a clean install of the OS after a problem with account permissions. I use free security protection for it now, and it loads faster on bootup. I got a new game last month called Trainz 2006, a train simulator. Here is a website that has good tech articles and the latest news: http://www.maximumpc.com. I continue to learn about computer technology in a reference book and may take the A+ exam when they publish the new version this fall. I am also learning more about electronic component technology like switches, resistors, current, soldering, volts, etc. in a book. I visit more social websites this year than last. Meetup.com has some cool events to attend at restaurants, courts, movie theaters, cafe's, and trails in this area. Another site that I update is http://www.facebook.com. I have a twitter and LinkedIn account as well. I sent some invitations to a few people after browsing for friends on my MySpace page. My friend and I played billards, disc golf, and darts many times around Raleigh and Cary. I hit some tennis balls a few times since January, but don't play as much as last summer. I fixed up my bike and took it to some off road trails near my apartment.

First entry of 2009

This is my first blog post on the blogger website. I named it Frontline blogging because it will be journals, articles, and various stories about my life on the front line. What exactly is the front line in 2009? It means to face what lies ahead and write about important news, events, faith issues, and tech that I see happen in front of my eyes each new day. It could be a news story, such as about the new Palm Pre smart phone that was displayed at the CES show in Las Vegas this week. This new phone has features that rival Apples's iPhone. I watched a video about CES from the PC Pro website, a technology focused site from the uk: http://www.pcpro.co.uk/. They highlighted other technology products like a cool blue tower desktop case and a high end X58 system board. Another tech site that I visit and post answers to questions is the Tom's Hardware website (http://www.tomshardware.com/). The news this week in the media was about the new President, Obama taking the oath of office. Check out MSNBC for more pictures and videos from politics and news: http://www.msnbc.com. In sports, the Superbowl this year will feature the Arizona Cardinals against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Aussie Open tournament is going on down under, and today I watched a few points on the LCD display while at work. I get updates by watching ESPN2 or check the web at: http://www.espn.com. That's all for now, until next time, keep moving front and forward.
