Random Thoughts Today I actually have the leisure to sit down and enjoyed some tv. This has been a first since a I started a facebook project, but we can talk about that later. On tonight’s news a very particular news bit caught my eye, the reporter was describing a new form of “problems” for not for profit organizations. Appearently, people are ’stealing’ from the clothing donation boxes, and the not for profit organizations are in the spot light stating how this type of theft is adding salt to their wounds, a wound created by lower monetary donations as a direct result of the subprime mortgage crisis.
Frankly, I don’t find myself seeing eye to eye with these ‘organizations’. To me, if your goal and charter states that you should help those who needs it, then does it really matter if the donation has been liquitated? If someone really needs the clothing in your donation box, can’t you not just let them have it? Must you really collect it, transport it, force those who needs it to line up and possibly pay for it? Or do you, the not for profit organizations, have a hidden agenda, where the donations are needed in their liquidated state instead?
(Everytime I see this type of news, a scene pops back into my mind, it was a donation rally for some flood years ago, a spokesperson publicly pleaded that if any one wants to donate, make it a money gram and nothing else. It had something to do with the fact that money is easier to carry or something

Random Thoughts Lighting of the Olympic torch this time is rather amazing. Imagine this, an person holding the torch running on a moving pavement, at the top of the stadium.
Circulating the stadium, on by running the inner circle of the top, the road in which he treads have the scales of the dragon (the ancestor of the Chinese) which slowly morphs into photos of years of preparation for this event. Just that picture alone is worth more then a thousand words.

Random Thoughts Have you ever add information to forums to share? Were you ever paid for all the hard work you put into a Forum? If no, then I have a solution for you.
I’ve launched a new forum in the family of PleasantLifeStyle.com web pages, official address is currently forum.pleasantlifestyle.com. On this forum, I am leaving the signature section open to any posters. So you can either one, choose to advertise a banner-sized widget in this signature space, or links back to your pages.
This way, the more you post, the more exposure your signature will obtain. If you are joining any of the CPM based ad system, this will actually make you some money while if you are using a link back to your site, it might boost your rank on search engines.
Remember, exposure is everything to a website.

Random Thoughts I received an email today, and in this email is a prayer for better finances. At that point, for some strange reasons, I feel the need to alter it and the result is the following prayer. It is no longer a ‘finance’ prayer. but a Prayer in general.
God is the biggest help in the World.
‘Heavenly Father, most Gracious and Loving God, I pray to you that you Abundantly bless my family and me. I know that you recognize a Family is more than just a mother, father, sister, brother, husband and
Wife, but all who are connected via your teachings and other teachings that are similar.
O Father, I send up a prayer in hope for blessings for all, may it not be limited to myself nor the Person who had sent this to me, but for those that I have forwarded this prayer to and their neighbors as well. I pray that the power of joined prayers by all the faithful would once again yield your kindness towards your creations, as you have done so ever since the beginning of Life, protecting all, not excluding those who may have turn their backs on you. I thank you for your blessings, may it be towards me or against me, as Job has done so in his hour of greatest sadness, or as Job in his hour of greatest joy. Father, please forgive our sins and deliver us from all sadness, burdens and evil.
O Father, we pray that you release your wisdom unto me, so I maybe a good steward over all that you have given me. For I know how wonderful and mighty you are and how If we simply obey you and walk in your word and have the faith of a Mustard seed, like our father Abraham, that you will pour out your blessings. I thank you now Lord for the recent blessings I have received and for the blessings yet to come. I pray that you would continue to guide me on the path you have prepared for me for I know you are not yet done with me. Amen.’
