Weekly Techie Tip #010

keyboardby Mark Meurer cell/text 806.789.8456

Here are 6 keyboard shortcuts that could help you save time and frustration.  They are pretty self explanatory. Just hold down the CRTL, control key, and the corresponding key for the action you would like to perform.  My favorite set is the Zoom in and Zoom out action.  Go ahead and try them, you wont hurt anything!

CTRL+S (Save)
CTRL+C (Copy)
CTRL+V (Paste)
CRTL+Z (Undo)
CRTL++ (Zoom in)
CRTL+- (Zoom out)

By the way, if you have computer repair needs, please give me a call.  We have staff that can fix just about anything.  If you need a website, we can also help you with that.

Where Your Treasure Is, Pt 2 (Matt 6:19-24)

CurtisBakerBy: Curtis Baker

Last week we began to look at Jesus’ teaching on money in the Sermon on the Mount. To say it is about money is actually to limit Jesus’ instruction. In general, his teaching is about things that we treasure in this life. If we treasure things that are earthly–that is, physical, and therefore destructible–then our lives are bound for anxiety and worry because the very nature of physical things is that they will not and cannot last. But, on the other hand, if what we treasure are the things of heaven, we open up ourselves to a life of blessing, because what we treasure cannot be taken away from us. To test ourselves on this, Jesus asks us to examine where we invest our treasure–our time, money, and resources. This is the only sure way to find out where our heart truly lies.
