IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER
October 21, 2009IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER
The Maker of all human beings will be recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the central component of the heart. This is due to malfunctioning in the original prototype units code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all
subsequent units.
This defect has been technically termed “Subsequential Internal Non-Morality,” commonly known as S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed.
Some other symptoms include:
1. Loss of direction
2. Foul vocal emissions
3. Amnesia of origin
4. Lack of peace
5. Selfish or violent behavior
6. Depression or convulsion in the mental component
7. Fearfulness
8. Idolatry
9. Rebellion
The Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory-authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this SIN defect. The Repair Technician, Jesus, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required.
The number to call for repair in all areas is: P.R.A.Y.E.R. Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through REPENTANCE procedure. Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into the heart component. No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:
1. Love
2. Joy
3. Peace
4. Patience
5. Kindness
6. Goodness
7. Faithfulness
8. Gentleness
9. Self-control
N.B: Please consult the
operating manual, the B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) for further details on the use of these fixes.
WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction voids any manufacturer warranties, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list and will result in the human unit being permanently impounded.
DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will have to be scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter Heaven so as to prevent contamination of that facility.
Thank you for your attention!
Your FATHER in Heaven.
P.S: Please assist where possible by notifying others of this important recall notice, and you may contact the Father by any time by ” Kneemail”.

Life is like a coffee
The conversation soon turned to complaints about the endless stress of work and life in general…
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went into the kitchen and soon returned with a large pot of coffee and an eclectic assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal - some plain, some expensive, some quite exquisite.
Quietly he told them to help themselves to some fresh coffee… When each of his former students had a cup of coffee in hand, the old professor quietly cleared his throat and began to patiently address the small gathering…
”You may have noticed that all of the nicer looking cups were taken up first, leaving behind the plainer and cheaper ones. While it is only natural for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is actually the source of much of your stress-related problems.”
He continued…”Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In fact, the cup merely disguises or dresses up what we drink. What each of you really wanted was coffee, not a cup, but you instinctively went for the best cups… Then you began eyeing each other’s cups….”
”Now consider this: Life is coffee. Jobs, money, and position in society are merely cups. They are just tools to shape and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not truly define nor change the quality of the Life we live. Often, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has provided us… God brews the coffee, but he does not supply the cups. Enjoy your coffee!”
The happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have… So please remember: Live simply. Love generously. Care Deeply. Speak Kindly. Leave the Rest to God.
And remember - the richest person is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least.

God answer prayers
This will give you the chills……
GOOD chills.
A young man had been to Wednesday Night Bible
Study.
T he Pastor had shared about listening t o God and obeying the Lord’s voice
The young man couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Does God still speak to people?’
After service, he went out with some friends for coffee and pie and they discussed the message.
Several different ones talked about how God had led them in different ways.
It was about ten o’clock when the young man started
driving home. Sitting in his car, he just began to pray, ‘God…If you still speak t o people, speak to me.. I will listen. I will do my best to obey.’
As he drove down the main street of his town, he had the strangest thought to stop and buy a gallon of milk..
He shook his head and said out loud, ‘God is that you?’ He didn’t get a reply and s tarted on toward home.
But again, the thought, buy a gallon of milk.
The young man thought about Samuel and how he didn’t recognize the voice of God, and how little Samuel ran to Eli.
‘Okay, God, in case that is you, I will buy the milk.’ It didn’t seem like too hard a test of obedience. He could always use the milk. He stopped and purchased the gallon of milk and started off toward home.
As he passed Seventh Street , he again felt the urge, ‘Turn Down that street.’
This is crazy he thought, and drove on past the intersection.
Again, he felt that he should turn down Seventh Street .
At the next interection, he turned back and headed down Seventh.
Half jokingly, he said out loud,
‘Okay, God, I will.’
He drove several blocks, when suddenly, he felt like he should stop He pulled over to the curb and looked around. He was in a semi- commercial area of town. It wasn’t the best but it wasn’t the worst of neighborhoods either.
The businesses were closed and most of the houses looked dark like the people were already in bed.
Again, he sensed something, ‘Go and give t he milk to the people in the house across the street.’ The young man looked at the house. It was dark and it looked like the people were either gone or they were already asleep. He started to open the door and then sat back in the car seat.
‘Lord, this is insane. Those people are asleep and if I wake them up, they are going
to be mad and I will look stupid.’ Again, he felt like he should go and give the milk.
Finally, he opened the door, ‘Okay God, if this is you, I will go to the door and I will give them the milk. If you want me to look like a crazy person, okay. I want to be obedient. I guess that will count for some thing, but if they don’t answer right away, I am out of here.’
He walked across the street and rang the bell. He could hear some noise inside. A man’s voice yelled
out, ‘Who is it? What do you want?’ Then the door opened before the young man could get away.
The man was standing there in his jeans and T-shirt. H e looked like he just got out of bed. He had a strange look on his face and he didn’t seem too happy to have some stranger standing on his doorstep. ‘What is it?’
The young man thrust out the gallon of milk, ‘Here, I brought this to you.’ The man took the milk and rushed down a hallway.
Then from down the hall came a woman carrying the milk toward the kitchen. The man was following her holding a baby. The baby was crying. The man had tears streaming down his face.
The man began speaking and half crying, ‘We were just praying. We had
some big bills this month and we ran out of money. We didn’t have any milk for our baby. I was just praying and asking God to show me how to get some milk.’
His wife in the kitchen yelled out, ‘I ask him to send an Angel with some. Are you an Angel?’
The young man reached into his wallet and pulled out all the money he had on him and put in the man’s hand. He turned and w alked back toward his car and the tears were streaming down his face.
He knew that God still answers prayers.
THIS IS A SIMPLE TEST…. If you believe that God is alive and well, share this to at least ten people.
This is so true. Sometimes it’s the simplest things that God asks us to do that cause us, if we are obedient to what He’s asking, to be able to hear. His voice more clear than ever. Please listen, and obey ! It will bless you (and the world). Phil 4:13
This is an easy test - you score 100 or zero. It’s your choice.
I f you aren’t ashamed to do this, please follow the directions. Jesus said, ‘If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father.’
Not ashamed..
Pidgin - Fixing Ubuntu Pidgin Error
June 23, 2009Fixing your Pidgin! - Connection for Yahoo Messenger
This are the steps how to fix your pidgin:
1. Open file /etc/hosts with gedit:
sudo gedit /etc/hosts
2. Add the following line to the end of hosts:
66.163.181.184 scs.msg.yahoo.com
3. Save and Close
4. Restart Pidgin
OK
If not working
go to Pidgin->Account->your Accounts -> Edit Account -> Advanced Tab
Change pager server to : cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com
restart pidgin
Ubuntu
Ubuntu ships Pidgin but does not update it after a release (except for security issues). For those users who desire new releases of Pidgin, we have packaged Pidgin in a PPA. If you encounter problems with these packages, try building from source and report the bug.
To setup the PPA, copy-and-paste these commands into a terminal:
sudo apt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com \ 67265eb522bdd6b1c69e66ed7fb8bee0a1f196a8
echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu \ `lsb_release –short –codename` main | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.list
Once this PPA is setup, Pidgin updates will show up in Update Manager along with the usual Ubuntu updates. The PPA will need to be re-setup only after upgrading Ubuntu.
This PPA is maintained by one developer, so please be patient. It often lags behind the source releases a couple of days.
Pidgin and Yahoo
http://www.celticwolf.com/useful-information/faqs/26-pidgin-yahoo
Note: The problems described in this document are fixed in Pidgin 2.5.7. You should upgrade immediately to continue using Yahoo! IM.
As of June 17, 2009, Pidgin users are having trouble connecting to Yahoo! IM accounts. Here is a summary of the problem:
Yahoo! appears to be upgrading their servers to a new version of their software. This new version requires a new authentication method. The latest version of Pidgin, 2.5.6, does not support this new authentication method. The next version, 2.6.0, will, but it has not yet been released. Version 2.5.7 does. To continue using Yahoo! IM, upgrade to this version. See the Pidgin web-site for details.
The domain name that is used to connect to Yahoo! servers is “scs.msg.yahoo.com”. This domain name is actually mapped to multiple servers. Some of these servers have been upgraded, while others haven’t. As a result, you may see intermittent failures, or you may fail every time, while your neighbor logs in successfully. It’s effectively a roll of the dice.
The following addresses appear to work:
- cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com
- 66.163.181.172
Update, 6/19/2009 16:20 UTC: I’ve gotten a report that scsc.msg.yahoo.com (note that’s “scsc.”, not “scs.”) is working, at least intermittently.
These are the IP addresses to which scs.msg.yahoo.com maps. You can try one of them directly, but recent reports (on 6/19/2009) are that few, if any, are working. Note also that there is no guarantee that the server at an address that works now will not be upgraded next.

You can verify this list yourself by running one of the following commands:
Windows: nslookup scs.msg.yahoo.com
Linux/Unix/OS X: dig +short scs.msg.yahoo.com
To use one of the addresses above, you can either modify the setting in Pidgin (Accounts -> Manage Accounts -> Modify -> Advanced -> Pager Server) or you can modify the hosts file:
Windows: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (see wikipedia and here for more information)
Linux/Unix/OS X: /etc/hosts (see here for more information)
