What Apps do I use and Why?

This is my current front page Home Screen on my iPhone:

I used a blurred background on my phone. This idea came from Joe Darnell and his Focus Wallpaper Collection. The idea is that the computer, tablets and phones are for running apps and anything to distract or slow the progress down is bad. I, of course, have the photos app on my phone and if I want to look at photos, I can use that. While working, however, I do not want to stop and smell the roses.

Remembering the Franklin Day Planner

This week I have been rereading Hyrum Smith's book "The 10 Natural Laws of Productivity and Happiness." This book was written in the late 1980s and I remember reading it for the first time when I was working at Seagate Technologies, after my time in the Air Force. The core tool talked about in the book is the Franklin Day Planner . I remembering having one such planner, long before smart phones and Palm devices.

I was able to keep a record of all request for software, who made the request and when and what the requirements were. It seemed that I was the only one keeping a record of this b...

Cornerstone Fellowship

Cornerstone Fellowship started preaching truth in 1946, right after WW II. It has been a light in a changing community and a changing world for the past 70 years. Currently I am the pastor of Cornerstone. My name is Michael L. Wilson. It is my goal to preach truth and to explain truth to all who attend. We subscribe to the reformed view of Christianity which includes the Five Solas , or the five foundational "only" beliefs. If you are looking for a Christ Centered church, let me recommend Cornerstone Fellowship

This teaching on anxiety is between as statement that a person cannot serve God and money at the same time and a statement on rightly judging. The teaching on anxiety is found in Matthew 6:25-34. It is the largest block of teaching in the sermon on the mount. Jesus gives this teaching building on the previous teachings. If you are serving God and not the things of this world, and if you are doing things for God, and not for the praise of this world, then do not be anxious for your life. The people that Jesus was talking to were poor. Not poor by today’s standard but dirt poor. Those who worked got paid every day. That daily pay was used to buy food for that day. When that food was gone, there was no more until they worked the next day. Most people had one or two pieces of clothing that would be patched and stitc...
