Thought for Today
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.

June for Grace
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
This June has been a great month. So many life-defining events and every day a present from the Lord.
His grace is majestic and his love without end.
This month started with the planning for the celebration of my wife’s landmark birthday. I knew I would not be around so I had to plan some surprises before my departure to so that on the day, the plan will come to life.
The plan came to life; my wife was excited, happy and very grateful for the thought and actions. A week later with family and friends, we celebrated her birthday some more, and it was a beautiful and simple event. We took a lot of pictures, and it was just fun especially for me as I had to the opportunity to host friends and family and that my wife was the center of attraction. It was wonderful. I will share the details of the photography adventure in another post.
I had some training, interacted with long lost friends, made new friends and discovered two new podcasts Daily Briefing and Just Thinking.
Of course, Apple introduced macOS Mojave and iOS12 to the world, and they are great OSs. I have set up a “memoji” for myself, and I am enjoying it.
I learned about the book the Blue Parakeet, and so far it has been interesting reading.
It is also the end of the 1st part of the year 2018. Looking forward to the 2nd part of the year and hopeful and praying for God’s grace and mercy.
Omnifocus 3 for iOS
Today the Omnifocus 3 app by the Omnigroup was released for download and purchase on the iOS app store.
Just released is the new version of the gold-standard for to-do applications.
When loaded with the required data, and projects, contexts and timing established, this app can quickly become your second brain.
The one prominent new feature in OmniFocus 3 is Tags. Tags used to be called context, and many people saw their use in the manner described by David Allen in the best-selling “Getting Things Done” book. Now they have been giving new super-powers and are way more capable than contexts in OmniFocus 2 was. Now you can have multiple tags assigned to one task, after all, we can choose to do something when two conditions agree, for example, Being at Home and being at the Computer. Tasks that need you to be at those two places can then be processed when the two places agree.
With the extra thought, huge variations can be conceived to maximize its power in your particular use case.
I use it to manage everything, and if the task is not done, it is because I ignored OmniFocus. When I pay attention to it, it is like I have more than 24 hours a day.
There is a free two week trial for a test run to see if it works for you.
