LET YOUR HEART NOT BE TROUBLED!

Team:

Do you ever feel Overwhelmed with Anxiety?

LET YOUR HEART NOT BE TROUBLED!

Are you ever Confused about your Future?

LET YOUR HEART NOT BE TROUBLED!

Do you ever get stuck and paralyzed with indecision?

LET YOUR HEART NOT BE TROUBLED!

The people of Israel felt this way in Jeremiah's time as they were Overwhelmed with Fear, Despair, Empty, Hopeless, Afraid, Fearful, Exhausted, Confused, etc...

Do you ever feel that way?

LET YOUR HEART NOT BE TROUBLED!

Here is what the Lord told Israel and what He is telling us today:

Jeremiah 29:11–13
"For I know the plans I have for you" this is the Lord's declaration—"plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. You will call to Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart."

Friends, the answer to a troubled heart starts with making a Phone Call to the Lord. Then He Invites you Come and Pray to Him.

Then He says you will Seek Him and Find Him when you Search for Him with ALL your HEART.

LET YOUR HEART NOT BE TROUBLED!

The Bible tells us that the Issues of life come out of the Heart. It also says, that our Eyes are the Window to our Heart.

What are we Focusing on Problems or Opportunities?

LET YOUR HEART NOT BE TROUBLED!

Our God is the God of Opportunities!

Are you Searching for God as much as He is Searching for you?

"Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and Trust also in Me." John 14:1

LET YOUR HEART NOT BE TROUBLED!

"If you don't know where you are going, you'll end up someplace else."
Yogi Berra Manager NY Yankees

Your First move to knowing where you are going is to Call God. Then Search for Him Daily through the ONE YEAR BIBLE.

"Play to Win!"

"We never want to play to the level of our opponent. We want to play as fast as we can!"  Miles Burris Linebacker San Diego State

Now - Just Go - Win the Day!

Rick Phil 4:13

The following is by FCA:

"And do not offer any parts of it to sin as weapons for unrighteousness. But as those who are alive from the dead, offer yourselves to God, and all the parts of yourselves to God as weapons for righteousness. For sin will not rule over you, because you are not under law but under grace." -Romans 6:13-14

PLAY FASTER THEN YOUR OPPONENT!

In any sport, when a team has the upper hand whether through having better players or a big lead in the score, their coach will often encourage them by saying, "We play to win."

PLAY FASTER THEN YOUR OPPONENT!

So often, teams that have the upper hand will play down to the level of their competition. Instead of playing to win, they start playing to not lose. In those times, they will often let the competition come back and, many times, beat them.

PLAY FASTER THEN YOUR OPPONENT!

The same thing happens in our walk with Christ. Every day, we face temptation as Satan tries to find a way to bring us down. He knows that because we have Christ on our side, we have the upper hand.

PLAY FASTER THEN YOUR OPPONENT!

But when we lose sight of that and start playing not to lose, we become very vulnerable to Satan's attacks. Instead of focusing on Christ, we focus on the temptation itself and try to stay away from it. It's not a bad thing to avoid temptation, but we shouldn't focus on it.

PLAY FASTER THEN YOUR OPPONENT!

We need to remain focused on the Lord and on becoming like Him by maturing in our faith. We have the ultimate upper hand through Jesus Christ who has redeemed us and conquered all sin for us.

PLAY FASTER THEN YOUR OPPONENT!

Through Him we have the victory and can walk in it every moment of every day. Because we have the upper hand through Christ.

PLAY FASTER THEN YOUR OPPONENT!

DON'T FEAR THE UNKNOWN SEEK THE KNOWN!

Team:

Do you Fear the Unknown?

Sometimes the Fear of the Unknown can really stifle us and trip us up can't it?

The Bible says the fear of man is a snare.
In other words Fear will Strangle us.

DON'T FEAR THE UNKNOWN SEEK THE KNOWN!

"So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today." Matthew 6:34

DON'T FEAR THE UNKNOWN SEEK THE KNOWN!

Friends, Jesus was saying that each day we have Challenges that we can to turn into Opportunities. He is also saying take on Today and Win Today!

DON'T FEAR THE UNKNOWN SEEK THE KNOWN!

In the Previous verse, Matthew 6:33, Jesus tells us to seek first God's Kingdom and all of these Challenges will turn into Opportunities.

DON'T FEAR THE UNKNOWN SEEK THE KNOWN!

He doesn't say, "Seek your own way first."

He doesn't say, "Try to please everyone."

He doesn't say, "Try to outmaneuver everyone else."

He doesn't say, "Dwell on your Faults."

He doesn't say, "Be Critical."

He doesn't say, "To Be Anything."

Jesus says, "Seek God First! "

Jesus is showing us how to take Control of our Lives through Him because He is the one who Created us for His Purpose.

DON'T FEAR THE UNKNOWN SEEK THE KNOWN!

Jesus is saying, you are what you are. You are what I Created you to be. You can't reinvent who you are. It is what it is and I made you to be you for a Purpose.

He is saying you are my Treasure. He cares for you more than you could ever imagine. Eph 3:20

DON'T FEAR THE UNKNOWN SEEK THE KNOWN!

By using an Action Verb like Seek, God puts us with Him and in Control of our Destiny with Him.

The more we Seek First God's Kingdom the more Freedom we have from:

WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE VERSES WHAT HE CREATED US TO BE!

The more we Seek the more we have all these things Added to us!

DON'T FEAR THE UNKNOWN SEEK THE KNOWN!

Just Go! Win The Day!

Fw: CHOOSE YOUR WORDS AND THOUGHTS!

Team:

Did you know that most people can speak 200 words per minute and listen to 600 words a minute?

CHOOSE YOUR WORDS AND THOUGHTS!

That is a lot of messaging going on in our mind.

What things do we talk about?

What things do we listen to?

What things do you think about over and over and over and over...?

CHOOSE YOUR WORDS AND THOUGHTS!

Do you ever tell yourself, "I'm am dumb, fat, stupid etc..I will never be able to pull out of this. Why did I do that?

"Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts." (Proverbs 4:23 GN)

Our minds are incredibly complex and can store all of these thoughts and words in our memory bank.

CHOOSE YOUR WORDS AND THOUGHTS!

Job had an incredible relationship with God. Job was the most successful businessman of his day. However, Job condemned himself over and over with negative self talk.

Here is a Great message from Rick Warren on how to turn all of these thoughts and words around in our own lives.

CHOOSE YOUR WORDS AND THOUGHTS!

by Rick Warren "Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts." (Proverbs 4:23 GN)

Long before psychology came around, God said your thoughts determine your feelings and your feelings determine your actions. If you want to change your life, you have to control the way you think. 

CHOOSE YOUR WORDS AND THOUGHTS!

Our minds are really an amazing creation. It would take a computer the size of a small city just to carry out the basic functions of your brain. Your brain contains more than 100 billion nerve cells. Each individual cell is connected with 10,000 other neurons. 

You're also constantly talking to yourself. Research indicates that most people speak at a rate of 150 to 200 words per minute, but the mind can process about 500 to 600 words a minute. That's why you can listen to me and plan today's dinner at the same time.

CHOOSE YOUR WORDS AND THOUGHTS!

The problem is that a lot of us are like Job, who says,

"Everything I say seems to condemn me" (Job 9:20b GN). He's saying, in effect, "Everything I say puts me down." If you are a typical human being, you are your own worst critic.

We're always putting ourselves down. We walk into a room smiling, but inside we're thinking, "I'm fat. I'm dumb. I'm ugly. And I'm always late!"

CHOOSE YOUR WORDS AND THOUGHTS!

But when you say those things, you're really pointing to the Creator who made you.  When you say, "God, I'm worthless. I'm no good. I can't do anything," you're saying, "God, you blew it with me." That's why God says it's wrong to put yourself down. 

How do you eliminate negative self-talk so you can become a more confident person? 

CHOOSE YOUR WORDS AND THOUGHTS!

The Bible teaches the principle of replacement. "Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right … Think about all you can thank God for and be glad about" (Philippians 4:8 TLB).

CHOOSE YOUR WORDS AND THOUGHTS!

In other words, don't think about all those weaknesses in your life. Focus on who God wants you to be and what God wants to do in your life. I don't know a better antidote to low self-esteem (or to facing your hurts, habits, and hang-ups) than to read God's Word every day — study it, memorize it, meditate on it, and apply it in your life.

The best thing you can do to raise your confidence level is to start believing what God says about you. When I find a verse in the Bible that speaks to me, I write it down on a card, memorize it, and then affirm it by saying it back to God: "Father, thank you that I am valuable, significant, forgivable, and capable." Let God renew your mind, because "your life is shaped by your thoughts" (Proverbs 4:23 GN).

CHOOSE YOUR WORDS AND THOUGHTS!

Talk About It

• What do you know to be true about yourself because of what the Bible says?
• What things that are "true and good and right" can you focus on today?

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

"But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach another gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!" Galatians 1:8

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned is the USA if we Elect a President who preaches Another Gospel.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Gospel literally means Good News. What Paul is referring to is the Good News that Jesus Christ died on the Cross for our sins and if we receive this forgiveness we will go to heaven and be with Him.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President who preaches the OPPOSITE of the Biblical Gospel that the Creator of ALL THINGS (John 1) died in our place for our sins so we could be with Him forever.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President that has been preaching his entire life that Mormons believe Jesus Christ was just another created being and is the brother of Lucifer or Satan.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President that has been preaching The Mormon doctrine and belief in many gods. He believes he is equal with God and he can ascend and be like the most high and in fact become a god.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President that preaches Another Gospel and then look the other way.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President because they are voting for the lessor of two evils.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President because they think they only have two choices.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President that hides all of his blood money (Stericycle - Planned Parenthood) in the Cayman Islands.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President that believes in many gods, many wives (until 1890) and many acts of sorcery and witchcraft.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President that signed and endorsed the first same sex marriage law in the USA.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President who believes the life of a baby doesn't happen until the 15-18th week. "The spirit child enters the unborn baby when the mother feels the baby kick." Brigham Young

(This opened the door for Tax Payer Funded Abortions in Mass. This is how Romney justifies the Stericycle - Planned Parenthood investment that made him 50 million dollars).

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President and think his Mormon Doctrine doesn't influence his decisions.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President that handed out a book called Another Testament all over France for 2 1/2 years.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President that does everything in Secret. (Jesus told the officials He was open and public and did nothing in Secret).

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President that does everything in Secret and won't show his tax returns from the money he made on the Stericycle - Planned Parenthood Abortion Mill.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President that Joseph Smith called the White Horse Prophesy.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President and don't realize that this White Horse Prophesy is The Trojan Horse!

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President that agrees with his great grandfather Orson Pratt that Joseph Smith was told by one of the gods named Eloheim that all of the churches in America were an abomination.

Condemned are those that elect a President that went to a school that is named after Brigham Young who on 9-11-1857 ordered the mass murder of 123 men, women and children in the Mountain Meadow Massacre.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President that believes in a Eloheim that was one of millions of gods and is not the Eloheim of the Bible.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President that believes the following:

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Volume 6 of The Journal of Discourses, Smith states the following:

"God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted Man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens. . . for I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity, I will refute that idea, and will take away and do away the vail, so that you may see.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

These are incomprehensible ideas to some; but they are simple. It is the first principle of the Gospel to know for a certainty the character of God and to know that we may converse with him as one man converses with another, and that he was once a man like us; yea, that God himself the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth the same as Jesus Christ himself did . . .

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

. . . and you have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves, and to be kings and priests to God, the same as all Gods have done before you, – namely, by going from one small degree to another, and from a small capacity to a great one, – from grace to grace, from exaltation to exaltation, until you attain to the resurrection of the dead, and are able to dwell in everlasting burnings and to sit in glory, as do those who sit enthroned in everlasting power. . ."

Volume 6 of The Journal of Discourses

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

. . . In the beginning, the head of the Gods called a council of the Gods; and they came together and concocted a plan to create the world and people it.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

... Eloheim and the Council voted on the plan of two brothers known as Lucifer and Jesus. The Council picked the plan of Jesus. Later Eloheim or Adam would have sexual relations with Mary to bring the spirit Jesus the brother of Lucifer into this world with a Physical Body.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Lucifer would never get a physical body because Eloheim and the Council rejected his plan. So Lucifer recruited 1/3 of the angels to follow him and take Revenge on the people of Planet Earth.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Eloheim, one of many gods would use Lucifer to take revenge on Jesus and kill him but by doing this Lucifer would actually lose his reign over the planet. Now all of us can be gods over our own planet and galaxy with spirit wives and children and live happily ever after.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President that worships the Polytheismn creatures over the Creator.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President that follows a Cult that has changed the Book of Mormon 3000 plus times at will to fit the needs of the day.

(Example: 1890 Polygamy, 2012 Caffeine)

Caffeine, "is the perfect, low-risk testing ground for members to make decisions for themselves." Matthew Jorgenson LDS 2012

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President that believes an unchanging God has changed his mind over 3000 times.

How many times has this Presidential candidate changed on major issues? Is there Stability?

"I am the LORD, I change not."
Malachi 3:6

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President that has a family tradition of taking the Mason/ Shriners Oath. The Oath of the Masons and Shriners in their own documents are a pledge of their allegiance to Allah the Moon god of Muhammad god's prophet.

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Condemned are those that elect a President that believes the goal of the Mormon Church to be a bridge between the "evil abomination of the Christian and Jewish infidels in America" (Joseph Smith) with the Holy Righteous Islamic Muslims in the east.

"If a bridge is ever built between Christianity and Islam it must be built by the Mormon Church."
Howard W. Hunter 14th President LDS

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

"My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children." Hosea 4:6

ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

"Blessed are the people whose God is Lord Jehovah: the people whom he has chosen for himself for his inheritance." Psalm 33:12

NOT ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

November 6th is an Election of Baal vs. God! It is an election of Courage, Honor and Respect for those that fought for the right to Worship the True and Living God of the Bible.

NOT ROMNEY'S OTHER GOSPEL!

Elijah went before the people and said, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him." But the people said nothing. I Kings 18:21

Choose Wisely My Fellow Americans!

There is Another Choice that could win a Landslide if the True Bible Believing Christians and Jews would rally behind him in the next 4 weeks.

Kindle Paper White Docs

DISCLAIMER: This review is based on about 30 minutes of use with the Paperwhite back in early September, and about 3 hours of use last week with a prerelease unit. 3G was not enabled and I have not been able to evaluate integration with the Kindle store yet. I will update my review once I receive my unit tomorrow and can register it.
OVERALL USE
The reading experience on the Paperwhite is excellent. The Paperwhite is much more enjoyable to use than the Kindle Touch or the Kindle Keyboard, thanks mostly to the display (more on that below). The Home button from the Touch has been removed, and you now navigate to the menus by touching the top of the screen. Like the Touch, there are no physical page turn buttons. If you want to advance the page, you either swipe, or press the middle/right hand side of the screen (most of the display area is set up to advance the page). To go back a page, you press anywhere on the left 20% of the screen. To access the menu, you press the top 10% of the screen. Contrast for the display can quickly and easily be adjusted with two taps, so it can be brightened or darkened without a lot of menu navigation. There are still eight font sizes like previous generations had, but instead of just three typefaces, you now have six (Baskerville, Caecilia, Caecilia Condensed, Publisher Font, Futura, Helvetica, and Palatino). Publisher Font lets you use the book publisher's embedded font. None of the books I have tried out yet have this option, but I can see how it can provide them with a lot more flexibility. The additional fonts, along with the ability to adjust line spacing and margins, make it much easier to read books that a publisher formats poorly to begin with (as anyone who struggled with the early edition of 'Game of Thrones' can attest to).

The menu system is a bit improved over the Touch. Instead of the basic list display for your books, Paperwhite now includes a graphical display of your book covers (like the Kindle Fire) in addition to the traditional list view. This is a great feature that should have been included with the Touch. Cloud integration is very easy as well. If you have more than 1,000 books, just store some on your free Amazon Cloud drive. Downloading them to the device is very quick and simple. The Paperwhite comes with Kindle Collections which allows you to organize and store your books more easily and put them into genres or collections by author/subject.

DISPLAY
This is where the Paperwhite really shines. The display is absolutely beautiful. I never had a problem with the display on any of my previous kindles, and always thought there wasn't much room for improvement, but you can really tell a difference when looking at the two side by side. Kindles all use E-Ink displays to mimic printed text. The Paperwhite has an improved e-ink display, which is sharper, has improved contrast and resolution, and uses front-lit technology with its built-in light. Images look much sharper, which shouldn't matter too much since most people don't use their kindles for images, but the text looks much better as well. The resolution has increased from 167 pixels per inch (PPI) and 600x800 resolution on all previous models to 221 PPI and 768 x 1024 on the Paperwhite. The lighting is nothing like a traditional back lit screen, like you would see on the iPad or Nook. It is very even and doesn't hurt your eyes at all. I could stare at the display for hours as easily as reading a book. Reading in bright sunshine is no problem and even improved over the Touch. The best part is, you don't need to order a separate light for your Kindle. Unless I am outside or in a bright room, I always use the Amazon cover with built in light for my Touch, which I would prefer not to do, because it adds weight to the device and doesn't feel as comfortable as holding a bare kindle without a cover. Additionally, I had to make sure I slept on the left side of the bed (the direction the light faced) because the light was so incredibly bright that it would make sleeping difficult for your partner if you slept on the right. External lights also only focuses on the top of the screen, and get dimmer as you read down. With Paperwhite, the screen is uniform and easy to read. It may sound like the glow could get annoying, but it is very pleasing to the eyes and easy to read from. I cannot emphasize enough how brilliant the screen is and encourage you to find a display model to look at if you're on the fence about it. I've used the Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight and the Paperwhite display blows it out of the water.

FORM FACTOR
The Paperwhite is a tiny bit smaller and thinner than the Touch, but not by too much. Users of the Touch should not have any problems, but if you're coming from the Kindle Keyboard, it will probably feel a bit awkward to hold it with one hand for awhile, because you don't have as much surface to grip since you can't touch the screen. To understand what I'm talking about, try holding a paperback book in one hand, but only let your hand touch the outer 3/4" of the front of it. You can see in the ads and videos that users are just barely gripping the outside of the Paperwhite so their hand doesn't get in the way of the screen. This is actually a fairly awkward way to hold the Kindle for any significant length of time, as users of the Touch may recall (I can guarantee you that girl laying on the ground reading and just barely holding onto the corner with her thumb did not hold it that way for long). You eventually get used to it, but you still have to shift your hand every once in awhile because it gets uncomfortable. This is one instance where a smaller bezel isn't necessarily better. However the main advantage the Paperwhite has over the Touch is it now has a rubberized back (like the Kindle Fire) compared to the smooth back of the Touch. With the Touch, you had to rely on your palm and thumb to support it. With the Paperwhite, your fingers don't slide off so easily and can assist to support the back. Although this sounds like a small issue, anyone who has tried to hold a Touch with one hand for more than 30 minutes will appreciate this. So it's easier to hold over the touch, but the Kindle Keyboard is still the most comfortable to grip.

TOUCH RESPONSE
Kindle Paperwhite now has a capacitive touch screen. This is almost worth the upgrade alone. The Touch used an IR-based touch screen. So it would register any movement as a touch, even if it wasn't from your body. I would frequently be reading in bed and move to get more comfortable, and the sheets would hit the display and cause it to skip to the next chapter. So then I would have to bring up the menu and go back. I was always careful about closing the cover when I moved to prevent an accidental "touch." I've always been very satisfied with the speed of the page turns on the Touch and never had a problem with it, but this has improved as well, and page turns now register a bit quicker. It is too quick for me to measure the increase, but I think most people will see a noticeable change in response and appreciate it. It is very easy to type with the built in keyboard, so you can easily search for phrases or navigate to something specific in the book. Flipping pages is very quick, but not as quick as with an iPad and there is a very slight lag, pretty much on par with the Kindle Touch. I doubt many will notice this or be bothered by it unless you are flipping very quickly through pages or if you flip through about a dozen pages at once (it can then take a couple seconds to catch up).

BATTERY LIFE
I haven't been able to run reliable testing on the battery, but Amazon's claim of 8 weeks battery even with the light on seems to me to likely be fairly accurate given my limited use of it. Even previous Kindle generations have had amazing batteries so this has never been a problem for me in the past.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
The Kindle Touch came with some new features, but I never really used any of them too much. Paperwhite has several new features that make reading a more interactive experience (if you want it to be):
- Built in Dictionary - Long press a word for about 2 seconds and you get an instant definition. I use this feature all the time and it is one of my favorite advantages of the Kindle over a traditional book.
- Time to Read - By far my favorite new feature. Previous kindles provide a percentage or a visual indicator of how long a book is. Paperwhite still does that, but also tells you how many hours/minutes you have to finish a book or a chapter, by calculating your average reading speed, and constantly adjusting it. I do not know if it calculates this amount based on the number of pages in a book or the number of words, but it proved to be incredibly accurate, and I had to stop looking at it because I found myself trying to "beat" it. A very fun feature and fairly useful for deciding if you have time to finish a new chapter while waiting for your plane to board or before going to bed. You can just tap it and it will switch to the percentage + the confusing "location" view instead. Some books will display Real Page Numbers to show you the actual page number that would correspond with a physical book, but none of mine had this feature built in.
- Experimental browser - Kindle's "experimental" web browser is back, and is a little bit improved due to the higher resolution, but I still wouldn't want to use it for graphical-heavy sites. I'm not sure how fast the 3g browser will be but the wi-fi version was decent enough that I could use it in a pinch.
- Social Features - Like the Touch, the Paperwhite has integration with Twitter and Facebook, so you can let people know when you're done with a book, or share favorite passages. I can see how some people might like this, but I would much rather have integration with Shelfari so I can update my account once I've finished a book and rate it. This is Amazon's own service so it seems like they are missing a huge opportunity here to promote it. Paperwhite also lets you leave a rating when you've finished a book. I have no idea what this rating is for or where it goes, but it would be great if you integrated this into product pages and had a "kindle rating" where they aggregated all of the ratings left by kindle users. This would allow people to leave a rating without having to write a long-winded (ahem) review and would also contain only ratings by people who had purchased the book. Probably unnecessary but I really think they could do more with the social features to make them useful.
- Whispersync - I haven't been able to evaluate syncing on the Paperwhite yet, but I have a Kindle Fire, Touch, and Keyboard as well and Whispersync works fairly well to sync all of my books across all devices. If I pick up my Fire to read a few chapters, I want to be able to start at the same place when I pick up the Paperwhite. Syncing is usually accurate but sometimes it doesn't register on one of my devices for some reason.
- About the Author - Amazon has announced this new feature that lets you view biographical information about the author and character summaries at the end of the book, much like a real book. None of my books had this feature yet, but it seems like a great idea to add value to Kindle books.

ACCESSORIES
I buy a cover for all of my kindles, mostly to use the built-in light, but the covers add bulk and make it difficult to carry one in a pocket and add weight to it which makes holding it for long periods a bit frustrating. Amazon's official cover is the Paperwhite Leather Cover), but with the Paperwhite display, I won't be using the cover unless I travel with the kindle. This makes it much easier to hold and feels less like I'm holding a tablet in my hands. The Paperwhite isn't scratch-proof, but it definitely is a bit more rugged than the Touch and I don't think most people will even need a cover for it. I have been able to evaluate the cover and I do think it is better than the one produced for the Touch, but I haven't been able to try one out on the actual Paperwhite so I will provide a more thorough review of that when I get mine from Amazon.

CONS
- I love the matte finish on the back of the device, but it does get a bit smudgy from my fingers and You can't really wipe them off without a wet cleaner. The smudging isn't so noticeable that it would bother me though.
- I also actually wish the bezel on the right side was slightly wider and offset a bit. Of course, this wouldn't help left-handed people, but it would make it a little bit easier to hold without having your hand block the screen at all. If you don't use a heavy cover on it, this also shouldn't really be a problem.
- I spent awhile searching for the Amazon Mp3 player before realizing that it and all audio features have been completely removed. The main purpose of this device is to read books, and so I don't fault Amazon for that decision, but I did enjoy cueing up some light classical music occasionally on my Touch and Kindle Keyboard right before bed. This of course means that there is no more text to speech playback of books or integration with audio books. As such, they have dropped the onboard memory to 2GB (about 1,000 books). With integration to Amazon's Cloud service, this should be more than enough for book storage.
- No Power adapter. It comes with a micro-usb charging cable, but you have to have a computer or already own a power adapter from another product to be able to charge it. Amazon did this with the Touch as well and I think it is absolutely ridiculous. I know Amazon wants to charge separately for this but I think not including one is really greedy. If you need one, you may want to buy the Kindle Power Adapter although I'm sure you could probably find a much cheaper one somewhere.
- No Shelfari integration as mentioned above.

CONCLUSION
In my review of the Kindle Touch, I said that while it was a nice device, I didn't feel like it warranted an upgrade for users of 2nd and 3rd generation kindles. The Kindle Paperwhite is definitely upgrade-worthy for all previous kindle users who read more than a few books a year. A stunning display, better touch sensitivity, and software features that Amazon should have come out with years ago, finally make the Kindle the undisputed leader in the e-reader market. Previously I would go back and forth between my Kindle Touch and Fire when reading books, but the Paperwhite is such a pleasure to use that I can't imagine ever choosing the Fire over it again. If you are an avid reader and have never purchased a Kindle before, the Paperwhite will really give you an appreciation for how far these devices have come.

ATTITUDE "The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say or do.

It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a COMPANY.. a church…a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past.. we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.

We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play the one string we have, and that is our attitude.. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it.

And so it is with you.. we are in charge of our ATTITUDES each day"
Charles Swindoll
