Spiritual food for thought:
From bumper stickers:

God said it.
I believe it.
That settles it!

God is my co-pilot.

I say:
about God is my co-pilot.
Wait in a minute is Jesus our Saviour, and friend
as well as our Lord and Master.
If so should'nt God be the pilot as the one in charge of our lifes and
everything we do ...... even our driving habits.

And then on the first saying i should say:
God said it.
That settles it!

Why do I think we should leave the middle part out som,e may ask?
Because whetehr I believe it or no whaever God said is settled so
because God said it that does settle it.
Too bad more people did not realize that about God's Word, the Holy Bible.
God said it in His Word so that settles it!
Amen!

Now on to the welcome & update
which includes a warning about a virus/worm.


We just had 2 new members sign up and join this group.
Welcome to you both!

New members for some of my more spiritual Newsletters
(most are more spiritual then this one)
go to my archives group for Pastor Bill's Newsletter which are at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BackIssuesNewsletter/

I have been very busy trying to make end's meet and have been teaching
a Bible study in another group.
Here is the link:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TeachusYourWordLord/
I have been teaching Psalm 119 there and the owner of the group is
teaching on the doctrine of Christ.
Usually only one teachinga t a time is aught in that group.
So this is exceptional and a good time to join
Teach us Your Word Lord
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TeachusYourWordLord/

On top of that I got a virus trusting somebody in chat and the
pictures links he told me to click on (first he claimed it was me and
then he claimed another link with the same virus was a vacation
picture of him.
Before my computer locked up, I did a search and found out any link
with the words thecoolpics.net in the URL is ALWAYS A VIRUS and/or
aWORM. Usually sent in an e-mail or through an IM message.
Also, as a worm sometimes it will send itself out to others in the
infected computers through their IM friends and through the infected
computers e-mail list.
I have not heard anything from any of my friends and family so I think
I stopped it in time by shutting my computer down until I had time to
get rid of it by reinstalling my whole computer system.
Most viruses and worms I can get rid of before they shut down my
computer but this one was extra stubborn.
So reinstalling my whole system erased everything including viruses,
worms, spyware and adware.

I thought I would share this as a I learned the hard way about
supposedly friendly strangers sending a link.
This person even claimed to be a pastor but I do not hold that against
pastors because I know many good, Godly pastors.
I had to reinstall my whole operaiong system without even being able
to back up newer stuff on my computer.
So stay awa from anything called thecoolpics.net
Often times there will be a slash woith another word after it like
/error or /vacation or whatever.

Even now I just got enough done to run my computer go on then internet
and of course have anti-virus as well as anti-spyware programs
installed on my computer.

Defender-Pro Anti-virus works good for me.
Also these 2 that are free I like a lot:
1. Spybot S & D (Spybot Search & Destroy)
2. Ad Aware
Both of these you should be able to find doing a search on them.

Oh and by the way since usually I send these in HTML
(it only shows up on Indivdual e-mail)
and my average on sending out Pastor Bill's Newsletter as an original
Newsletter is barely one Issue per month your mail box will not be
overcrowded to be set on Individual e-mail
(a few things from others; I forward on occasion)
