Jesus had a special place in His heart for the poor. Ask God how you might use your gifts and talents to improve the plight of the poor in your community.

It's truly humbling and amazing to know that God has used you to be a blessing even to one person. Have you loved your neighbor today?

In our society, we love to donate to people we can’t see, especially people in other countries. This is great. But we also need to remember to love our neighbor. There are plenty of people in need that we can see every day. You will never know just how good a hot meal can be until you buy or make it for someone you can talk to and pray with who isn’t sure where that next hot meal will come from, if it comes at all.

Take this moment to pray for your neighbor. Not just the one who lives next door, but the one you see on the street as well. Buy someone near you a bag of groceries or a hot meal. Give the gift of friendship. Take the time to get to know someone less fortunate than yourself and pray with them. Feed the world, but feed your neighbor also. Feed belly and spirit alike. Do this not only during the holidays, but throughout the year. This is an important part of the Great Commission, as you will be able to reach more people with the Good News of Christ by example than you will be able to reach just with words. Have you loved your neighbor today?

Would you believe it? As soon as I get my main website back up on a new host, the server it was on is once again online after having been down for 2 days. I really can’t complain though, the original server has been online longer than any other I’ve used.

So now I have several options. I can

a) switch the DNS A records for kyle.tk and picospeaker.tk back to the server I know to be reliable, with the exception of the last two days
b) leave those sites on the new host and transfer the rest, one per day until they are all transferred (I can only create one website per 24 hours, I guess to prevent spam)
c) use my dns service to provide failover, a to b or b to a in case something goes wrong again with either one, the main problem with that being the difference in the way the hosting providers handle mail
d) ditch the whole shared hosting idea and just buy a vps, maybe with a shared hosting DNS failover on a free host, likely a or b, as a backup for the important stuff

Thoughts, suggestions I haven't thought of, or recommendations for a reliable, inexpensive, small vps, preferably with unmetered bandwidth, anything else, leave a comment. Thanks.

Hey cool! Sounds like a fraternity, but it's really just me lol. Yay for Greek transliteration. Google even translates it correctly back into English.
