this phone after 1 month

 This phone has turned out to be quite reliable. It has had one more episode with the microphone not being available to take videos. But after ending the video and starting over the microphone worked fine. It isn't clear what triggers the bug or what the thing is unhappy about. But other than that it has really been stellar. For instance there is an app that will play the Bible out loud from start to finish. At the same time you can play music in the background. Now I've only done this one time all night long, but most of the other phones I've had will sometimes make it and sometimes not make it all night long. So for this one time it worked great. It played for about 8 hours. 

The camera is definitely amazing for a phone. You can't take fantastic telephoto shots with it, but you can take some pretty amazing night shots and just normal point and shoot pictures look fantastic. And surprisingly it does pretty good with macro shots. 

All the apps I generally use are working great. 

And there are so many things that can go wrong with the phone we tend to take them for granted when all those things go right. The screen, the speakers, the incredible myriad of electronics packed behind the screen. The battery, the Bluetooth connectivity. The physical controls on the side of the phone all work great, and the unlocking fingerprint sensor on the back works flawlessly. Also it's the best phone I've ever had out in the sun, though not perfect. 

The phone claims to be somewhat water resistant, but I'm pretty sure if it said it was totally waterproof to 100 ft deep I still wouldn't even splash one little drip of water on it. But that would probably be worth testing if I wasn't depending on it as my primary phone.

 Oh, it also will make and receive phone calls. The microphone and speakers work fine for that.

God

  Throughout my life God has been working to bring things about and make things available when needed. A while back my wife and I divorced after 33 years of marriage. Shortly after that she died. Throughout the entire process there were many many things that occurred that just came together. For instance an apartment just happened to be available the same week that it was needed. Then other apartments became available as they were needed. Without looking much. Also my company fired me shortly after her death. But they also insisted that they would pay unemployment benefits. This just happened to coincide with covid-19. So my unemployment benefits were more than normal because of covid. Also medical benefits were made available, which was unexpected. Then my car died and another car was made available at a rock bottom price. It was a great car and did well for over 70,000 miles. There were many other small things that came into play. It's really incredible to see how God does things...

pixel 2 xl , 3xl, 4xl

 I currently own a pixel 2 XL. At this point it is a 5-year-old design. It still gets pretty good reviews on the internals even for being so old. Apparently some of the progress has kind of slowed down. Processor improvements and even camera improvements are minimal. It took excellent pictures 5 years ago and it still takes excellent pictures today. Having said that the pixel 3 and pixel 4 are starting to come down in price quite a bit. So let's talk about that. The pixel 3 has some improvements but nothing major. The big thing that everybody points out between the pixel 3 and the pixel 2 is the screen. The pixel 2 screen is somewhat faded looking compared to the typical phone. It's still very sharp the colors are still in color and it works just fine, but really it doesn't look like something that used to cost $950. Still that's what they sold it for. So that alone really doesn't make it worth upgrading to pixel 3. The pixel 3 screen is slightly bigger but the pro...

spirits

  It's becoming evident that the planet is saturated in spirits and, dare I say it, demons. They really are everywhere. If you get an uneasy feeling, you most likely are under attack. They are real, it's not some psychological anomaly or left over distant frustration from your childhood.
