His First Day Of School

Filed Under (Family) by Randy Bragg

      He has been excited for this day to come for months, walked around singing “It’s my first day of school  ya ya ya,” over and over again. He wakes up tired from staying up to late to many nights and now the morning calls his name. Thinking that he would be gleaming with excitement, he’s not, he has an earache. We give him some Children’s Tylenol, some decongestion and wait for the effects to come in to play. Looking in to his eyes I wasn’t feeling like it was the first day of school ya ya ya. An hour goes by and he is feeling better, finally smiling, realizing it’s his first day of school, and after the twentieth picture it is time to roll out. With video camera in hand I try to get every angle and picture I can for this is the first day of the rest of his young life. As I walk him up it crosses my mind, soon he will be excepting his diploma and moving on to the next level, adult life. My last huge, kiss, and thumbs up as he mouths the words from across the room, “Your going to pick me up, right dad.” I shake my head yes with a tear in my eye, point to him as I would be telling him you’re the man, it’s time for parents to leave.

The John Chow Work Horse

Filed Under (Make Money Online) by Randy Bragg

After reading some of his articles and his book Make Money Online With John Chow dot Com , I think I need a nap. This guy is all over the place. When he reviews a site he really looks it over, so if your thinking of paying for his review, get your blog together or he will pick it apart. His book gives you all the information needed to excel in the blogging world. The only thing John Chow can’t give you is the energy to get off your tail and put these ideas in to action.

Marriage, Money, Happiness

Filed Under (Family) by Randy Bragg

Marriage , Money , and Happiness , when you say these words you might think that they don’t mix well together. When you have money you walk around with a big fat grin, you and everyone around you can see the “I’m happy about my life” glow.

Marriage 

When you said your vows you looked in to the eyes of the one who caught your eye and you thought to yourself, this ones not getting away. Your love for that person was so strong and the physical attraction was so crazy that in your mind, this was heaven.

First year goes by, still feels like heaven, you see signs of who this person that you married really is, but you still have this great physical attraction and there is so much to do that it really doesn’t phase you. At the beginning of the second year, things still feel new, but then you start seeing quirks in your spouse that you thought might go away. After the third year comes you have a pretty clear picture of who you married.

Money  

Did you grow up learning how to save and invest your money? Whether you inherited, marred into money, or simply worked for a living, some of these life lessons help in how you manage money during your marriage. Communication is the main tool for trying to figure out where you and your spouse want to go into your financial future.

Happiness 

So, have you come to the point where you look at your marriage in a different manner?  If you find yourself putting money matters or problems in front of family, keep in mind the basics of the marriage, love.

The Heart Of Bragg

Filed Under (Blogging Advice) by Randy Bragg

This has been a week of me learning about the blogging world. Starting a new blog comes with a lot of questions that you might be asking yourself. 

v     What will I blog about? 

So far I have been blogging about starting up my blog.  This topic will not keep me with enough topics to be a new blogger, after awhile you lose the title of “New Blogger.” 

v     How can I connect with my readers? 

Time to figure out what I will give to people that will be interesting and keep them coming back. What topic do I have knowledge on that I might offer a reader?  

·        Technology

·        Religion

·        Family

·        Investing

·        How to stop smoking?

In my thirty-five years I’ve done things that I’m not proud of and done things that I never imagined I would ever do.

v     What content on the internet is usable to put on your blog? 

You have to watch where and what you do on the internet. You can do research and talk about a subject, but you need to watch out for taking stuff from sites. If you go to a site and do research from it, make sure that you do your own writing and don’t cut and paste their stuff into yours. You might think that it’s free information and you can do it, but there are rules to this internet game, so watch yourself.

v     Configuring My Blog 

After I sat there at the fill in your domain name bar for twenty minutes and finally found the right name, I had to figure out what I was going to do with my site. I found a server, than I decide the program that will make my site look exactly the way I dreamed it would be, this part never ends. Making it look the way I want will be a work in progress probably the whole life of my blog, which some people think that I will not last.  

v     Inside The Mind Of A Determined Man 

Psssst secret for all of you who read this, I don’t give up that easy, as a matter of fact, that might be the one quality that has taken me into twelve years of marriage to a wonder wife who treats me with respect and dignity and really knows how to treat a man. She let’s me be a husband, by giving me respect and love and I give her love and respect right back. That and we have great communication, we believe in talking to each other, rather than talking at each other. Believe me, read it again, yes there is a difference. Hey all you guys out there, I pray that you find a women as great as mine.  

v     Feed Back  

 Is there is a market for a blog on a religious geek who loves his family and can tell you the best way to stop smoking, and I mean stop smoking. So, tech, religion, family life, and some health tips. Ok people, on with the show….
