Ang Alibughang anak

May isang mayaman na may dalawang anak na lalaki. Ang 
pinakabata ay lumapit 
sa ama at hiningi ang 
kanyang mana. 


Kaya ang ginawa ng 
matanda ay hinati niya 
ang kaniyang 
kayamanan sa dalawa. 
Ilang araw ang 
nakalipas, umalis ang 
bunsong anak at 
nangibang bayan. 
Inubos niya ang lahat 
ng ibinigay sa kaniya 
ng ama. 

Nagkaroon ng 
matinding taggutom 
sa bansang iyon kaya 
napilitan siyang 
mamasukan sa isang 
mamamayan na 
nagpadala sa kaniya sa 
bukid 
bilang 
tagapagpakain ng 
baboy. 


Habang nagtitiis siyang 
kumain ng kaning 
baboy dahil wala 
namang ibinibigay sa 
kanyang pagkain, 
naalala niya ang 
kaniyang ama at ang 
mga katulong nito sa 
kanilang sariling 
pataniman. 


Naisip niyang bakit siya 
magtitiis 
na mamatay 
sa gutom habang ang 
mga katulong ng 
kaniyang ama ay 
sagana sa pagkain. 


Minabuti niyang umuwi 
at humingi ng patawad 
at handa siyang 
magtrabaho kahit na 
bilang katulong lang. 
Malayo pa lang siya ay 
natanaw na siya ng 
kaniyang ama na 
tumakbo at siya ay 
niyakap at hinalikan. 


Tinawag nito ang 
kaniyang mga katulong 
at 
inutusang bihisan 
ang kaniyang anak ng 
magarang kasuotan, 
bigyan ng sapatos at 
singsing sa kaniyang 
daliri. Iniutos din niya 
ang magpatay ng baka 
upang ipadiwang ang 
pagbalik ng kaniyang 
anak. 

Ang panganay niyang 
anak na nasa 
pataniman ay narinig 
ang musika at ang 
pagsasaya habang 
siya ay papalapit sa 
bahay. Tinanong niya 
ang isa sa mga utusan 
kung ano ang 
kasayahang yaon. 
Nalaman niya na 
nadiriwang ang 
kaniyang ama sa 
pagbalik ng kaniyang anak. 


Nagalit ang panganay 
na anak at ayae niyang 
pumasok 
para sumali 
sa pagdiriwang. 


Sinumbatan niya ang 
kaniyang ama tungkol 
sa kaniyang pagsisilbi 
dito na parang alipin 
subalit ni minsan ay 
hindi siya binigyan ng 
kahit maliit na kambing 
para magsaya kasama 
ang 
kaniyang mga 
kaibigan. PEro noang 
dumating ang kaniyang 
kapatid na nilustay ang 
kaniyang mana sa mga 
masasamang babae,ito ay binigyan pa niya ng pagsalubong. 

Moral Lesson: 


Sinagot siya ng 
kaniyang ama na siya 
ay naroong kasama 
niya at lahat ng 
kasaganaang 
tinatamasa 
niya ay 
kasama siya 
samantalang ang 
kapatid niya ay nawala 
at bumalik. Tila siya 
namatay na nabuhay 
ulit.(Luke 15:11-3)

Parts of a computer

If you use a desktop computer, you might already know that there isn't any single part called the "computer." A computer is really a system of many parts working together. The physical parts, which you can see and touch, are collectively called hardware. (Software, on the other hand, refers to the instructions, or programs, that tell the hardware what to do.)

The illustration below shows the most common hardware in a desktop computer system. Your system may look a little different, but it probably has most of these parts. A laptop computer has similar parts but combines them into a single notebook-sized package.

Desktop computer system

Let's take a look at each of these parts.

System unit

The system unit is the core of a computer system. Usually it's a rectangular box placed on or underneath your desk. Inside this box are many electronic components that process information. The most important of these components is the central processing unit (CPU), or microprocessor, which acts as the "brain" of your computer. Another component is random access memory (RAM), which temporarily stores information that the CPU uses while the computer is on. The information stored in RAM is erased when the computer is turned off.

Almost every other part of your computer connects to the system unit using cables. The cables plug into specific ports (openings), typically on the back of the system unit. Hardware that is not part of the system unit is sometimes called a peripheral device or device.

Storage

Your computer has one or more disk drives—devices that store information on a metal or plastic disk. The disk preserves the information even when your computer is turned off.

Hard disk drive

Your computer's hard disk drive stores information on a hard disk, a rigid platter or stack of platters with a magnetic surface. Because hard disks can hold massive amounts of information, they usually serve as your computer's primary means of storage, holding almost all of your programs and files. The hard disk drive is normally located inside the system unit.

Hard disk drive

CD and DVD drives

Nearly all computers today come equipped with a CD or DVD drive, usually located on the front of the system unit. CD drives use lasers to read (retrieve) data from a CD, and many CD drives can also write (record) data onto CDs. If you have a recordable disk drive, you can store copies of your files on blank CDs. You can also use a CD drive to play music CDs on your computer.

CD

DVD drives can do everything that CD drives can, plus read DVDs. If you have a DVD drive, you can watch movies on your computer. Many DVD drives can record data onto blank DVDs.

Tip

If you have a recordable CD or DVD drive, periodically back up (copy) your important files to CDs or DVDs. That way, if your hard disk ever fails, you won't lose your data.

Floppy disk drive

Floppy disk drives store information on floppy disks, also called floppies or diskettes. Compared to CDs and DVDs, floppy disks can store only a small amount of data. They also retrieve information more slowly and are more prone to damage. For these reasons, floppy disk drives are less popular than they used to be, although some computers still include them.

Floppy disk

Why are floppy disks "floppy"? Even though the outside is made of hard plastic, that's just the sleeve. The disk inside is made of a thin, flexible vinyl material.

Mouse

A mouse is a small device used to point to and select items on your computer screen. Although mice come in many shapes, the typical mouse does look a bit like an actual mouse. It's small, oblong, and connected to the system unit by a long wire that resembles a tail. Some newer mice are wireless.

Mouse

A mouse usually has two buttons: a primary button (usually the left button) and a secondary button. Many mice also have a wheel between the two buttons, which allows you to scroll smoothly through screens of information.

When you move the mouse with your hand, a pointer on your screen moves in the same direction. (The pointer's appearance might change depending on where it's positioned on your screen.) When you want to select an item, you point to the item and then click (press and release) the primary button. Pointing and clicking with your mouse is the main way to interact with your computer. For more information, see Using your mouse.

Keyboard

A keyboard is used mainly for typing text into your computer. Like the keyboard on a typewriter, it has keys for letters and numbers, but it also has special keys:

• The function keys, found on the top row, perform different functions depending on where they are used.
• The numeric keypad, located on the right side of most keyboards, allows you to enter numbers quickly.
• The navigation keys, such as the arrow keys, allow you to move your position within a document or webpage.

Keyboard

You can also use your keyboard to perform many of the same tasks you can perform with a mouse. For more information, see Using your keyboard.

Monitor

A monitor displays information in visual form, using text and graphics. The portion of the monitor that displays the information is called the screen. Like a television screen, a computer screen can show still or moving pictures.

There are two basic types of monitors: CRT (cathode ray tube) monitors and LCD (liquid crystal display) monitors. Both types produce sharp images, but LCD monitors have the advantage of being much thinner and lighter. CRT monitors, however, are generally more affordable.

Printer

A printer transfers data from a computer onto paper. You don't need a printer to use your computer, but having one allows you to print e‑mail, cards, invitations, announcements, and other materials. Many people also like being able to print their own photos at home.

The two main types of printers are inkjet printers and laser printers. Inkjet printers are the most popular printers for the home. They can print in black and white or in full color and can produce high-quality photographs when used with special paper. Laser printers are faster and generally better able to handle heavy use.

Speakers

Speakers are used to play sound. They may be built into the system unit or connected with cables. Speakers allow you to listen to music and hear sound effects from your computer.

Modem

To connect your computer to the Internet, you need a modem. A modem is a device that sends and receives computer information over a telephone line or high-speed cable. Modems are sometimes built into the system unit, but higher-speed modems are usually separate components.

Whiskey Lullaby Lyrics

She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart, he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night

He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short, but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said, 'I'll love her till I die.'
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby

The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until the night

She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short, but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby

O Blood and Water which flowed out from the heart of Jesus as a Fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and the whole world.

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and the whole world.

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and the whole world.

AMEN.

Jesus, King of Mercy, we trust in You!
