I guess that is a good comment to start a few thoughts on the death of Steve Bing by falling from his 27th floor apartment. I haven't seen anything about why, but maybe Father's Day had something to do with it... He was declared the legal father of two, and recently they were allowed to receive a portion of his estate (by court order).
Today I read he was selling off his possessions... a clear sign of something being thought about, possibly planned. No one seemed to be in his support group in life... family, friends, even strangers in his path might have been able to see it was seriously considering suicide.
Is this because of his money?
Because of the person he was?
Outside influences?
Bad debts?
Family issues?
Hollywood issues?
I wonder if we will ever find out... I doubt it.
We thing money is the solution to every problem.
It doesn't seem to be that way.

The computers I uses seem to be coming up all kinds of gay issues, but I know that topic isn't in my wish list. It seems to me that when I don't want something going across my feed, it becomes the will of the computer to make sure that is all I see, hear, think about. I suppose its one of those "algorithms" and has been programmed that way. Doesn't seem like it is the "right" thing to do, but who am I to say anything is planned so it can appear random.
I have been praying for Chastity Bono for many years. Recently, I posted comments on the issues of sex changes. I think I see the post about Cher talking about her "son" every time I turn the computer on, many times a day sometimes.
I focus on Christian activities 90+ percent of the time. Why would that be at the top of my algorithms? My Christian stuff always seems to be hidden, at the very end of my time spent online... for any reason, but mostly at social media.
I hope I can figure out how they apply those computer pathways, soon.
Faith is really hard in the age of the internet, especially when people of GOD are good, and the bad guys aren't. Every time I watch these things happening, I wonder what it will become like. Computers/technology is growing so fast we can't keep up with all the possibilities... ordinary people, I mean.
I know some of the things that can be done, but not how they are done. Over the years, as I watched things evolve, trying to figure out how Christians could be protected from their harm, I remember when someone used a computer to hurt a man with a pacemaker. I remember when the factory in Iran, I think it was, was attacked remotely. When Obama had to keep the Blue Angels (one of the jet groups) from flying, I wondered if their computer systems had been hacked to make two of them crash. My own activities on the computer seem to be compromised, but I have no way of "fixing" them. As we live under the threat of our power grid being attacked, I wonder how much can be done via the computer... is it going to be an EMP attack, or just someone hacking from their global location? It may not happen now, but one day the entire system will be "upgraded" and connected.

I actually made it outside this week and did some yardwork. I am hoping to get a routine going and do a small amount each morning when it is cooler.
Nature makes the world bearable. :-)
On the first of JULY I start the third quarter prayer journal from the Presidential Prayer Team (.org) -- a new experience for me. The book is about the size of a sheet of paper folded. The space for the actual prayers is about one-third to one-half of the single page. The rest of the pages have names, positions, information, and other things related to the government. I don't know yet if it is all US GOVT in DC, but I will be finding out.
I made a commitment to do this through December. I could only commit to $5 each month, which equals the price they asked for the journal alone.
I have decreased my PATREON support choices down to one for now. Soon I want to search for some others to support... to keep learning more about the people and processes and interactions of other Creators at Patreon.
July starts the Christmas countdown for me, too. I don't have all the resources I want yet, but I am doing the process as I work toward a bigger customer base. July is about INVENTORY, so I will get my supplies figured out.
My NOTEBOOKS are getting better organized and useful. :-) This is such a great thing. I keep going through them, over and over, deciding what needs to be where to make it work for me. I design new pages as I need them.
My budget for JULY made me create a new DRAFT page for planning the next month's budget. This one is looking like the best one so far, and may become the one I use every month now. I keep noticing what parts of all the different formats I have tried seem to need to be included. It's a wonderful thing for me -- to find these parts, so I can make sure they end up on the final page for the future.
I am still having problems with the new subscription to Microsoft 365... It's not working, so that means I can't do any of the things I purchased it for. :-( Today I had to go back to the OPEN OFFICE app to be able to revise and create any spreadsheet forms. I hope this all gets figured out soon. I will make a decision about the payments by the next one, or maybe the one after that.
I really need to win the big lottery or sell a LOT of my products or find my ONE MILLION new $5 supporters --- that would help solve all these problems. :-)
PRAY FOR ME !!! :-)
I really really really need financial blessings.
So, I will end on that.
Until next time,
In Christ,
