@peachpurple, if you reading the Bible, it is simply and plainly mentioned there that prayer should be done daily and incessantly. Many, especially those who considered themselves as Christians have failed to follow this task on the fequency of praying. In the new Testament of the said Holy Book, Jesus Himself has set an example on how to pray while He was in the garden of Gethsemane while His disciples were asleep.

If we have a strong faith, unwavering faith in God for that matter, it won’t be hard for us to do the prayer everyday. It is good for you, you pray for your parents, for the country, for everything. What you have done is another way of making your faith works. Since I found the truth, the fullness of the Gospel about the Lord’s ministry here on earth, that is sometime in 1980, prayer became my way of life. Everything I am doing I always give thanks to the Lord in the form of a prayer. When I go to sleep, when I wake up, when I am about to eat and leave the house for a work, prayer is what I do.

But the point of caution when we pray, we should pray as what we are dictated by the promptings of the Spirit. We should not pray just the hypocrites. They pray in public, but deep in their heart, their intentions are too far for the humanity.

@sandiyarani, you are correct. Those persons with good intentions in their heart are likely to be persecuted insulted. They are actually misunderstood or to put it plainly they are subject for scorn because of jealousy. Anyway, they don’t need to worry much for they will the blessings which the Lord has promised them as it is written in the Bible and I quote – “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

I would like to relate here about my frustration for being good which has put me down, and abused of my unconditional friendship. I have a best friend who was in trouble. I came to him to give him the best token of friendship that is to keep him company.  I alway frequented his place. Others look at us as brothers. We eat together, play, and even sleep. Thus we earn the title as the “inseparable duo”.

There was one instance that I hadn’t provided him of his urgent need. Everything had turned out to be crumbling and I became the worse person to him. I had learned a lesson. I left him.

@bestwriter, you don’t have to worry anymore to the site where you have deleted your account. What is the used of waiting too long with any assurance that you will be paid. Unlike the LiteracyBase, it has already proven it that it has paid its members. By the way, do I know that site? I think I am one of the active members there too.

@pearpurple, thank you for the support and the invaluable assistance through your words of encouragement. I have never regretted that you are one of my friends here, which has never failed in giving me such inspiration. Your honest words of counsel are more than enough to make me keep on going to write and write more articles for I know you are not only my avid reader by also a follower.

By this writing, I am making an inventory of my present friends and trying to purge them. I have to be conscious of those who have never ever reacted. What is the use of keeping them then?

@bestwriter:   I redeem $10 as my first redemption.  I hope I could receive it on time as you have assured me. Thank you for that.

The point of order: Blood is thicker that water. This is phrase is absolutely correct. For the sake of discussion, I say that something must be clarified here. You are in trouble why your in-laws are too indifferent with you. They never mind anything at all as if nothing h as been transpired among you.

Well, practically and idiomatically speaking, in-laws are not related to you by blood. They are related by affinity. Since we are talking about blood, they are not indeed. Do you get my point? Hope this would clarify matter as far as in-laws are concerned. There is no need to argue anymore.

My unsolicited advice is never to mind them. Just mind your own business. By experience in my own case, for example, my in-laws have a good if not better relationships with their friends than their fellow in-laws and that is true. Tradition tells it clearly.

@sunil I have just made my first redemption awhile. ago I am hoping that this transfer would be effected by this 10th of July. I have been to many online paying sites, but this one I find it different. I am, I have to admit, excited with this one. I know there are a lot of you here who have already been paid. I hope I would be one of you soon.

I find it no hassle in making such redemption. It is very simple by typing or encoding the amount to be cashed out in the blank box provided. And by clicking the redeem button, the request is reflected. To check it, I find the request I made in my history. It is properly recorded there. The time and the amount are displayed. That is a very commendable way of assuring the members here that their redemption they made is being processed.

@bestwriter, I know it. It was sometime in 1975. That was 41 years ago, we had a lengthy discussion about PERT and we were required by our college instruction to submit a program analysis using that technique. I remember th@bestwriter, I know it. It was sometime in 1975. That was 41 years ago, we had a lengthy discussion about PERT and we were required by our college instruction to submit a program analysis using that technique. I remember that I was the leader of our group and I reported it in front of my classmates. It is very effective to solve  a problem systematically. I even emphasize the importance of a time frame for any project or the timeliness of the solution to the problem.

Recently, the management technique that we are using in our school is the so-called SWOT analysis. S stands for strengths. W for weaknesses. O for opportunities. And T for threats. Those things give a clear view on how to the situation’s perspective is viable. And they are effective. They make things easy gone one at a time.

@bestwriter, I got it. Your point consists of an approach which is systematized, organized bit by bit. It is done through a process wherein there is a system on accomplishing things. This could be completed for it is organized as to what to be done first until the last part is fulfilled. Now we can see how it is realized “one at a time”.

This has convinced me that you are a well-organized person. You know what are those to be prioritized, what are those to be done later. You have control of your work for you know what to do. That is I usually like for a person like you. Making things done, bit by bit and the rest follow.

This quotation which my son relayed is a question he came across somewhere. If read it and interpret verbatim it seems difficult to eat the whole elephant for its hugeness. The reply, of course, is to be clever and practical.

family is family if there is a problem among the family the family members themselves are the one to helping to get things in disarray settled your problem you presented it here is typical happening to any family for that matter it couldn’t be avoided the point there is to keep to be frank to them that your family has worked for that to get those valuables for your own family to value to be proud of to be happy about it if I were in your place I would get angry too however it wouldn’t make that person be embarrassed in front of my visitors I would call him in private and to talk to him in that case our family would be broken our relationship would be still intact we have still a good relationship and others especially the visitors would be distracted, would be disturbed or even embarrassed that is I think the properly of handling things in the family in trouble and what we h ave done to our family could also affect our community status our regards to the eyes of our friends, neighbors in our case we do have a high regards with our family for we believe that family could be together if you still remember there is an oft-quoted phrase that says the family that pryas together stays together so there should be order there should be a good communication to avoid clash in the family this comment of mind is very well understood if it is written in order I did this purposely in reaction to your post here I think anyone would be confused of reading it what do you think communication is well understood if there is order think about that.

I am used to write directly to the writing pad here in LiteracyBase. I just estimate that number of words that I have already written and when I am done I submit it. That is my usual practice to another sites which I am also participating writing. Once I get started, thoughts keep on pouring out. Ideas are flooding uncontrollably.

There is a time I remember I compose my article to a notepad for it has no formatting feature unlike in MS Word when you transfer your post to LiteracyBase it becomes weird or the spacing gets too wide. So I have to edit the article to make it look tidy. Now I am not using it. Nor directly writing it here. My youngest son has a made a simple program which I use to write my post with an accompanying word count.

I have made a post about it for others to use it when they find it difficult to determine the word count of their write-ups.  I call my post, “Word Court Made Easy“. Try to search it in the Net if you are interested to use. If you type it in the search tab, it is displayed in the first page of Google search.

I want to tell you and be frank and honest about this. When my wife and I quarreled over personal matters and exchanged vindictive for several minutes. I have to leave her at home and go some place to let my hurt feelings subside. After an hour or so, I go home. And we become friends as if nothing had happened.

We never mentioned a single thing about what had made us become hostile. We never bring back those things. Nothing really has happened to us. That is our attitude. We could easily get reconciled in a minute or so. There is a time that I have asked my wife about that. She didn’t know why. That is how she behaved after a misunderstanding, disagreement, or whatever.

Even our children are surprised that we could easily come to terms after the “war”. Even myself, I couldn’t explain it. I think we are one that we don’t have to harbor grudges between us. Quarrel, bickerings, cold war are part of the life of every being. And no one could solve that but they themselves. That is what we feel.

I have gone there awhile ago and it is running. I even leave a comment saying: Let’s have a roll call. I have just get in. I don’t know if it would be  responded.

July 4, 2016 at 7:58 pm

I have just visited BlogJob and this is what I got:

This means that BlogJob site is not properly responding either it is being upgraded for a better and efficient service or it is transferring something or immigrating to a better site hosting. In short, BJ is under maintenance. That is what I have found while searching this technical error as far as the Internet is concerned.

I am still hoping that BJ would be resuscitated and invigorated as a new creation, a new being. That is how optimistic I am for I have a pending credit which is nearing to be cashed out. I have never thought it would be suspended temporarily. Or it is just a euphemistic term so that we couldn’t totally put the blame to the said site and if we get tired of waiting, we will leave the site without any grudge or discontentment upon ourselves.

Those who are still hoping that BJ would restore its reward system just indicate here for I am one of them to be frank with.

@Shavkat, it is timely that my granddaughter’s tuition fee would be paid tomorrow an hour before the exam for her father just gave a money to my wife who is taking charge of our granddaughter’s studies. I do join with you that our son-in-law is a hardworking man and he could be relied upon.

It would be a big reunion for his family comes July 15. His wife who is working abroad would take her vacation back home. He would be receiving some surprises from our daughter. And we’re also very happy for that for she would be reuniting with 3 children after a year of working abroad.

By the way, he works as a security guard and only receiving a meager wage which is enough to support his family. In his free time, he drives a motorized tricycle which his wife bought for him to augment his little income. I do appreciate how he works for his family.

@lolaze everything has its purpose. What you did is something right for a person who couldn’t control his ire. Time does heal. I appreciate what you have done. If I were in your place, which by nature I am sensitive, I would be doing it too. What else we can do for we can read the mind of the moderator. We’re just assuming, falsely assuming that what they’re doing was wrong and it was unfair.

But in reality, we are wrong. Whatever the @admin, the @support, and the technical team on their own right is correct and we couldn’t question it. They have that reserved right to do whatever they please and we have to abide by it. Or else we gracefully leave the site if we couldn’t contain their rules and regulations.

Now’ you’re back. It’s good. Welcome, and you’ve again another chance to prove your worth. Do your best. Never mind those things that hurt you. It pays to accept the truth that we are frail and our emotion is weak.
