I’m going to be letting you into my personal space; I mean you’re already in my personal space but I’m gonna draw you in just and a little bit more. One thing I will say before I show you this... I have not always been this way. I really haven’t. I became a Christian in 2018–in case you haven’t watched the video or you’re not familiar with my story–then please do watch the video straight after this video and yeah that’s just the encourage you. Please don’t feel intimidated because this has been a journey. A journey. You say with me...A journey.

So I have currently got my laptop here, because I have written down some things that want to share with you. And do you know what? I’m gonna be honest with you. I wanted to try and freestyle this. I wanted to try and remember everything by memory so that you can think I’m really cool and I know everything. But guess what? That wasn’t the reality and there’s some real gems that I’ve got written down that I want to share with you and I don’t want to forget them. So I thought hey, I’m gonna look at my screen and talk to you at the same time. Okay, alright, so let’s get straight into it. Alright, so now what I’m going to do is... I’m going to explain how spending time in the morning has drawn me closer to God. The first thing that I will say is spending time with God first thing in the morning has just allowed me to be in a space where no distractions or less distractions; well in my case no distractions and just literally being quiet.

For me, it’s an in its an instruction. Its telling me what I should do seek first the kingdom of God. And one of the things that I actually realized from this scripture is... the Holy Spirit one day said to me Ayo, look into the word first So I’m gonna read what it says and this was something that I had shared in my book A Young Woman’s Guide to Seeking God. Two definitions are coming before all others in time or order; earliest; 1st. Foremost in position, rank or importance.

Synonyms include earliest, initial, opening and fundamental. I have applied seeking God first to my daily routine and honestly, it has just done absolute wonders. I’ve learned to value my time with God because even in the place where, you know, it’s just, you know, me speaking to Him me seeking Him... me reading His Word... it’s something that’s of high value to me and is something that I’ve learned thus far on the journey.

Sometimes in the morning, God will lay it on my heart to completely change direction. So I might go in thinking I’m doing a devotional on one thing or I might go in saying okay cool, I’m gonna do a Bible study on this and then when I say.

God will lay on my heart what I mean is... all of a sudden I’ll have this scripture that will come to my mind... so a perfect example... recently something that happened to me was I was just meditating. And when I say I was meditating I was literally...I had some... DappyTKeys is this amazing piano worship artist if that’s what I’d call him. .but he basically plays like piano and it’s so soothing and so soft.

So I will just literally be still and I’ll just meditate having that in the background and then a thought will come to my mind and it’s a Bible scripture. A very specific scripture and then when I look into that scripture when I read it (I open up my Bible) and then I read it and I realize that that’s an example of God speaking to me through His Word. So I might have planned something the following day; the night before, but then I get in this space with God and then He’s like yeah I want you to read this–this is a word from me to you. So that’s just something that I wanted to point out. And that’s a good example of me being diligent and making plans but then also holding on loosely to my plans. Because ultimately I desire to be in alignment with Gods plan. So it’s like: I have a plan but then I desire God himself more so I’m actually gonna listen to Him when He tells me to do something different.

Something else I’ll say is that some days, I actually wake up... I may wake up later in the morning. So maybe 5 or 6 a.m. and not 4 a.m. because maybe I’ve had a really busy day before and I’m just simply tired. Different things... reasons why I might wake up a bit later in the morning Sometimes I do snooze. I am a human being, I promise you. Sometimes I feel... I just like.. I just don’t want to get up, so sometimes I really just don’t. So if that’s you please don’t feel bad right now. The most important thing is that you start making steps toward seeking God first above all else. It’s about the steps that you’re taking. Psalms 91 verse 1 gives us a really good illustration of them value of the secret place. And when I say secret place I mean time where it’s just you and God.

He who dwells in the shelter of the most high will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty whose power no enemy can withstand. I want to paint a picture... think of the secret places that we enjoyed hiding in as children. Imagine being 10 years old and finding a secret hiding place under the stairs or in the bushes.

You slipped inside that secret place and as you did it felt magical; you felt safe. You felt protected from the world. Now you imagined that you could live there and all the times you were there no one could find you. God has a secret hiding place and He invites us to join Him there. And notice that He doesn’t invite us to visit...He invites us to dwell to; abide; to stay; to remain. The promise is to those who dwell there. To dwell means to live there it becomes our address.

God invites us to pack up and move in you know to His secret place. But to do this we have to walk away from conforming to cultures; to society’s way of doing things. We just have to be willing to invest in our quiet time with God. We must be willing to quiet our hearts and just allow Him to investigate those innermost things about us that you know.. we reveal to nobody else.

The secret place is a place where we can be transparent and really honest with God. So that’s it for this week’s video.

Apple Keyboard Evolution 1983-2015

I don’t have a Lisa Keyboard, and they’re quite rare and expensive. But here’s what it looked like, it was quite large and clunky. Although not really any wider than a modern Apple keyboard . So, this is the original Macintosh keyboard. It’s kind of tall, and notice that it has no arrow keys, no function keys and no number pad. Apparently, Steve Jobs believed that everybody would use the mouse for everything, except typing. It uses an RJ-11 type connector, similar to a phone cord. The mouse actually had its own separate connector, and did not connect to the keyboard at all. This is about as basic as it gets. I can plug my telephone into it, for some reason. So, one thing I noticed about this is that there are no indicators on where to put your fingers. I’ve never heard a keyboard echo before. It’s not real springy or anything. It does have… …metallic kind of noise to it. But, DAVID: This is the Apple Desktop Bus keyboard. As the name suggests, this was the first keyboard to use the new

The AdLib Gold Experience

Greetings folks, and today on LGR I am proud to present the fabled AdLib Gold 1000 Stereo Sound Adapter. An IBM PC-compatible sound card which, after multiple delays, launched at a suggested price of $299 in the US sometime in late 1992. More or less, its release is a bit complicated but we’ll get to that. For now lemme just go ahead and say how much I’m freak in’ out with excitement recording this footage. Cuz dude, seeing an AdLib Gold in person, still in the box, unused? Among retro PC enthusiasts, that’s like finding a golden unicorn that craps diamonds, it’s just not a thing. Yet here it is, looking’ spiffy! And it’s all thanks to Trixter, aka Jim Leonard of The Old-school PC, Check out his YouTube channel if you’re into this kind of thing too, the man’s a fountain of knowledge and some of the items in his collection are literally one of a kind. Not the least of which being this pristine AdLib Gold 1000, a card that I’ve been wondering about ever since I was eight years old lookin

IBM 8516 Touchscreen CRT Monitor

Greetings and welcome to LGR Oddware where were taking a look at hardware and software that is odd, forgotten, and obsolete! And today it is the IBM 8516 CRT touchscreen from the beginning of the 1990s. And yeah you can touch and draw and do all kinds of things that you would normally do with a mouse or light pen or whatever else -- just with your fingers! And so let’s see what this thing is and what it can do. All right so this is the IBM PS/2 Model 8516 13-inch CRT touchscreen monitor first introduced in June of 1991 for a suggested retail price of $1695 US dollars, holy crap. That would be almost $3,100 at the time of this recording, not a cheap price for a 13-inch VGA monitor back then. It was built by IBM to be compatible with PCs running DOS, Windows 3 -- and IBM OS/2 of course, because they were still pushing it rather hard when this came out. And as advanced and awesome as it was for its time it was not the first of its kind as far as touchscreen CRTs, not by a long shot. For

The Advantech I.Q. Unlimited with BASIC and a Z80 CPU.

Hello, and welcome back to the 8-Bit Guy. In this episode, I want to show you this bizarre little computer known as the IQ Unlimited by Advantech. Now, you might be wondering “What is this company Advantech?” Well, if you turn the computer over you’ll see it was actually produced by Video Technology Electronics, otherwise known as V-Tech.” Yes, that’s the same V-Tech that has produced tons of cordless telephones, kids learning computers, baby monitors, and a variety of other things. They are also the ones that built the Laser 128, which was an Apple II clone, along with the matching Laser XT which was a PC clone. They also produced the laser line of portable computers, and even a series of proprietary desktop computers that carried the laser brand name. So, needless to say V-Tech is no stranger to making computers. But, I think this may be the strangest one they ever made. The front of the box claims it to be complete, powerful, simple, and affordable. They are also those that built th

Words of Krom Ngoy

Words of Kram Ngoy This Brahma song is translated to tell Khmer men and women To be mindful should be diligent. Do not be lazy, do not be too stupid, try to learn numbers, learn the alphabet Learn all the virtues, supernatural wisdom combined with ideas. Born to see through, even from afar Really good at thinking about everything. Fools do not wake up like blind people on both sides There is no image of a cheap sinner born ignorant. The human race, though high and low, descended from the Pao clan. Evil, good, black and white, cut off descendants like ancestors. Ignorant people are not venerated as a religion The monks know the Dharma, the students study hard. The ignorant breed is not very wise, the crooked breed is not very gentle Straight seed until the true seed does not disappear. Innocent parents do not want their children to be ignorant Cursing for the children to know. Ignorant father sees his son never angry

The best gaming laptop for MS-DOS games

The other day, I used to be reading this old Computes Gazette magazine from 1983. and that I saw this card you'll send off for more information. happen if I filled it out and sent it off? Well, stick around till the top and I'll show you the result. Most of the time, stepping into Retro Gaming are often quite challenge. Even the old Atari 2600 her, for instance, it are often very challenging to seek out a contemporary TV or monitor that you simply. On the brilliant side, the games are pretty easy to affect. All you've got to try to to is locate them online, or thrift shop, or whatever and you purchase the sport, and you recognize, But, things get even harder once you start watching old computers. For instance, the Commodore 64 uses a disk format that's essentially foreign today. It's no means to attach to the web, and albeit you've got a pile of blank disks, getting the games copied over to them from the web could be a nightmare. Now, if you fast forward just a

Strangest Computer Designs of the '80s

OMG Mr. LGR!!! You made my day showing the Seiko computer watch series. I collect these things and Have almost the entire lineup up including the weird UC-2200. The only one I'm missing is the "wrist mac" which was essentially a Seiko RC4400 but marketed and sold for Apple. It could be considered the first apple watch! That design for the Elwro-800 actually seems pretty good and I wish I had it for the C64 back in the day. That wire holder could have been used for holding a computer magazine with a user made program which they always had in the magazines back in the day. Even now it would be good for data input from a written copy, or even writers who like to get their pre-writing done on paper. They were the machines we were taught Turing language on -- and compiling even a tiny Turing program on them was unbelievably slow. I really liked the GUI on them though, but we never really used the GUI much; all the programming we did was in a text file run through a compiler

Will Kill Your Computer

Hey guys, this is Austin, and this is the USB Killer. Now, it might not look like much, however this will straight up kill your computer. So, this is a device that’s used to test hardware, so while it looks like an ordinary USB device, instead, there’s a series of capacitors inside. So, if you plug it into a computer, it will charge those capacitors up, and once they’re full it turns around and releases all of that power at 240 volts straight back into the computer, in theory killing it. It doesn’t take much to be able to pop this thing open. Now, before we proceed: Do not try this at home. Seriously. Not only is it very possible for this thing to kill electronics, but it’s also. And by being careful, I mean don’t try this at home. We have an Asus Chrome book. Now, USB Killer claims that this is going to work on around 95 percent of computers, and the reason for that is that while some computers have properly capped USB ports, most have completely unprotected ports, which means that i

Lost Colony of Roanoke

The broken anchor is pretty sketch. Sounds like the colony might have been wiped out and Smith not wanting to return to England and say "my bad they all died" was able to save face by saying "We have proof they are safe and moved location. Near the end of the 16th century, a man by the name of John White embarked on a transatlantic voyage. His destination was the island of Roanoke along the southeastern coast of North America. On this island, White had established an English colony some three years before and he was now returning to resume his position as Governor. After a long and difficult journey, White finally reached the site of the colony only to find the more than one hundred men, women, and children had left behind had disappeared. Before White had a chance to conduct a more extensive search, the ship returned to England and in its wake, it left a mystery. Raleigh was soon thereafter knighted by Queen Elizabeth I and the new land was to be named Virginia in ho

BootSkin XP - A Boot Screen Customization Tool for Windows XP

Hello everybody and welcome back . We’re going to be taking a look at a pretty cool little piece of software for Windows XP, and there’s also a version for Windows Vista, called BootSkin. And this is a little bit of an older program. This was released, I want to say, somewhere in the mid-2000s. This is actually a piece of software that I used on a couple of my Windows XP , and even some my Windows Vista machines like over 10 years ago. It’s been a while since I’ve used this piece of software. But what this software allows you to do is, as you can probably tell by the name, it allows you to skin and customize your Windows boot screen, add a little bit more personality to your system and make your boot screen look more unique so, you know it’s gonna be much different than everybody else’s which just says Windows XP when it boots up. And this is made by a company called StarDock and I’ve used a couple of different StarDock programs before there’s another one of my favorite programs from
