A tech update.

As I am the PC tech in the family I need to upgrade from time to time. Now is the time for such an upgrade. I feel that I need to be as careful as I can so as not to waste money on upgrades that are not needed. 

Now, I need to overall or replace the white desktop that we have been using since 2018. Maybe it was 2017. The motherboard is damaged and it is running only 4 gigs of dd3 ram. The GPU is very good a GTX 780ti. 

I am thinking of modernizing Yogits's PC upgrading my GPU and passing on Yogita's current rig to George to use instead of the white PC. The white PC would be taken apart and useful parts will be stored or used and the motherboard and case tossed out. The name of the game here is to do so in a cost-effective way. One option would be to leave Yogita's PC as is and install a water cooler on the CPU. Get a cheap but capable system with 8gigs of ddr4 ram (ill upgrade it later to 16gigs) system for around 150 to 200,000 won. I could then upgrade my GPU to a 1080ti. Finally, prices have dropped. The black PC NEEDS water cooling badly on its CPU and 2 8 gig ddr3 RAM chips.

I want to complete these upgrades over 2 weeks. However, I need to be able to save money while making sure that the upgrades work well. I am hoping that prices continue to fall as I am in the waiting and watching phase. Perhaps this Saturday I will visit a second PC shop and ask about prices. Ok, time to go!

A time for everything

 We are living in a day where so many people tend to live for just one or two days of the week. This I have grown to not understand. King David wrote that he wants to use all of the time he has to praise Jehovah. This means that every day that he lived he lived for every day. So many students of mine and Yogita's say "I hate Monday". Or there is some other day of the week they hate. I do not blame them as they are studying and toiling after university seats, and job positions that have already been parceled out to an inner group of connected people. What I mean is there is a group of people who make sure that their friends get into the best schools. Others have to basically be rich to have access to these resources. It has been shown in various documentaries and dramas that this is the case. 

I feel much freer not living for things of this world. I realize that if I want riches I must forsake my family. I must forsake my preaching work, attending meetings, and spending time with friends, our sons, and time with my wife. If I do this I will make even more money. But to what effect? My house would be sick again. These riches do not last. They can be stolen, it can rot, and as this system will be done away with, what will I say to Jehovah on the last day? What will happen when I am asked "What did you do in the last days?" I know from so many talks and bible studies that LOVE is needed. The love that comes from Jehovah, for he is the God of Love. 

I am happy to learn and see where I need to learn more.
