Sometimes we spend time in asking who is responsible or whom to blame,Whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. By this Way we miss out some warmth in human relationship.

Touching life story…..

A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box.

Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible. Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy book.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care things.

When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search his father’s important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer’s name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words…PAID IN FULL.

How many times do we miss God’s blessings because they are not packaged as we expected?

Skype protocol breached

A Chinese company has claimed that it has reverse-engineered Skype’s VoIP protocol, and has announced that it will release it some time in August. The breach allows the company’s software to place PC-to-PC calls over the Skype network, the world’s No 1 Internet calling service that has over 100 million users across the world.

A blog entry by Charlie Paglee on July 13 on the VoIPWiki blog said that he received a call from an unnamed Chinese company on his Skype network using its own protocol rather than the official Skype client software.

Paglee wrote: “Today I received a call through Skype from a friend at a company in China, except he told me he was not using Skype to call me. His company has reverse engineered the Skype protocol and he wanted to call me in the US to see how it worked between physically distant IP addresses. We talked for nine minutes before the call dropped. I called him back using Skype and we spoke for three m4ore minutes.�
