James 1:22 - 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
While attending The Ohio State University Lil’ Kim came out with a song entitled “No Time for Fake Ones.” Now as a devout Christian I’d dare not say that Lil’ Kim serves as a source of inspiration for a minister’s blog. However, I’m not one of those super, extra-Spiritual Christians who act as if they’ve totally disconnected from their past and never reflect over past experiences . I DO periodically reflect over the past in order to assess how far I’ve come and to remain compassionate towards those who travel a similar path.
As I sit in front of my PC thinking about both the past and present of my life, I am once again been reminded that we must remain true to the call God has placed on our lives no matter if it means redefining friendships/relationships in the process. We must continue listening to the directions He is giving us and disengaging from ‘fake ones’ who help weaken our witnesses by association. God has the ability to continue working on people’s hearts according His will for their lives and so we should leave that in His hands. In the meantime, we DO NOT want to be labeled in the category that James 1:22 speaks of…that of being modern-day ‘fake ones.’
There are plenty of people who are hearers of God’s Word, but far too few doers. To balance this statement out, I’m not saying that we must live a perfect life because none of us in our flesh are capable of doing so. However, I AM saying that as believers we should be continuously working towards walking in the image and likeness of Christ. This includes recognizing our shortcomings and struggles, and diligently seeking guidance in working through them. Not just the ‘popular’ struggles like sex, alcohol, drugs, lying and unforgiveness, but also the minimized struggles like being judgmental, gluttony, homosexuality, cheating, etc. Those of us who continue to hear God’s Word, but fail to apply it to our lives are deceiving ourselves according to James 1:22. Better yet deceivers can classify themselves as modern-day ‘fake ones.’
Now as we prepare to enter into 2010, let us remember that it’s not good enough to be able to quote Scripture, assess the faults of others and talk about all of the good that we’ve done individually. Let us be mindful to take a look from the inside out and assess whether our hearts are truly being transformed on a continual basis? When we are alone in our secret places of isolation would God say you are a ‘fake one’ or a ‘real one’…meaning real or fake image of Him?

Well, If you have ever thought of writing some script to automate those things that you are doing many times a day, then you have a great and easy way to automate the entir e process. It comes without saying that a few imacros and firefox add-ons can automate all actions connected to a browser (Mozilla). If you would like to automate your system as such, then you'll need some other script, easy commands will automate your system. Even a beginner will automate things using a simple software called as sikuli all you need to do is to tell Sikuli what to do by giving some screenshots and easy commands.
A GUI will be used with Sikuli. Sikuli is an open siurce scripting application that will use a mixture of simple commands like click, type, wait and so on. There's no internal API support, it simply searches the screen for the image in the screenshot-that implies that you'll use it for anything. There is literally no limit on how you use it to automate things.
This is too good to be true, however if you watch the subsequent video, you will come to know that this is really easy. If you visit their home page, you get a lot of tutorials and support; it can be a cake walk even for beginners. You'll check the video as well as get the software at [url=http://technoages.com/operating-system/apple-mac-os/automate-everything-through-a-simple-script-make-your-computer-listen-to-you/]TechnoAges.com[/url]
