More Chrstain Thoughts

This is going to be a short, less wordy post than the last one I publishes in July about my experience with my first web store. I just wanted to give you my honest opinion on a great movie called "Fireproof." Being a married man my self, I could relate to the issues from both peoples perspective. But, the main theme would not let me go. The statement that" you never leave you partner alone" is priceless. I mean if you want to take the easy way out, then divorce , or leave you partner behind. this is the main theme. There is an underling theme more priceless than all the gold and silver in the entire world. If you don't know or have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, how can you ever hope to love your mate the way God created you too? Now before I end this quick thought, just ask yourself, I'm I saved? What does this look like? Do I love my spouse as Jesus would and does? To acquire a copy of the movie and find out the answers to some of these questions go were I always go for great things is www.iosa.30fold.com And don't forget to study your Bible on this wonderful subject. Good by for now.

My On Line Adventures

I was wondering if my experience with building and designing a web site was normal or strange? What I mean is, My wife and I received an add in the mail from web site builder stating we could may good income on line. This I never doubted , since I've heard many stories over the years from TV programs or newspaper stories. So my wife and I talked it over and decided to buy and build our web site for e-commerce. We had no idea as to what we were doing and the presentation made it look easy. We later learned that the service to help build the site was an extra cost. We had already invested $3,500.00 thus far. So I set out to make the thing work to at last make some money. Well we worked on this for months and it looked great. The following day I was laid off and could not find work to pay for hosting and over time lossed my site and hosting. Next I was off to selling Beatle CDs and Badfinger CDs on Ebay. Broke even here but the cost of relisting unsold CDs was to much for me. I stop selling on Ebay. Yet I gained a lot of valuable web building and on line selling knowledge. Then one year latter I came across an add on the internet while looking for work in the Christian realm so again I talked it over with my wife and we both thought it was a good idea. The cost was reasonable. $210.00 and hosting $20.00 a month selling Bibles, inspirational books, Theology books, and much more, plus it was already stock and ready to go. That has been eight months ago, and I'm enjoying it . I'm learning how to market it on line. No money as of yet, but in time it promises to generate some extra money. Who knows, it may surprise me and become my full time job. Well one can only hope. I'll have fun learning and can share my new knowledge with other beginners what little in now know.
