Look for Opportunity
Since its Summer and we have no Mass for me to invite you to I thought I'd share this scripture and a little prayer. Take a little time, it will be worth it.
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about His mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains”
(Colossians 4:3, NLT)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
When Paul wrote today’s verse, he was in chains in prison. He had been arrested for preaching the gospel. Everything in his surroundings shouted “limitations,” but instead of looking at his surroundings, Paul kept his eyes on the limitless God. He kept looking for the open door of opportunity that God would have for him next.
No matter what “chains” you may feel like you are in today, remember, we serve a God who’s in the business of setting people free. When you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, He fills you with His power. He promises to walk with you all the days of your life.
When doors look closed all around you, when your surroundings look limited, when you feel like you’re in chains, remember, God is still at work in your life. Like Paul, keep your hopes up. Keep expecting. Keep believing. Pray for those opportunities to be opened to you. If you fall, get back up and press forward with even greater determination to accomplish the dream that God has planted in your heart. The prayer of the righteous avails much, so keep praying because He promises to break the chains and open doors of opportunity in your life!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, I choose to take my eyes off my surroundings and focus on You. I choose to focus on the passion and dream You’ve planted in my heart. I trust that You are working behind the scenes, opening doors of opportunity. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen

A few reminders
Your Group assignment was due on Monday. Please keep in mind that this is a summer session and that means that you need to work hard to meet deadlines and keep the pace. As mentioned at the start of classes, we will cover the entire ten chapters the same as if it were a regular semester. You need to be responsible and do your part to achieve this requirement. I will let it slide, somewhat, by extending the date to Friday of this week. If by then I do not have a submission then I will have to resort to assigning M to your grade.

Data Flow Diagrams
Data Flow Diagram are a way of documenting a process. We have ordered pizza from Peppers on two occasions in an effort to document and improve the current system. We will now get a chance to put our experience to use by creating 2 DFD.
The first will be to document the process as it was experienced. (When we ordered)
the second will be to document the improved process. This will include your recommendations.
Have fun with it. The due date will announced later. Start working on improving the process.

Group Assignment: Food for Thought!!
Topic: Is access to the internet a Human right
Human Rights: Clean Water, Health Care, Internet
Frank La Rue, wrote a report on UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of expression. I think you would find it interesting as it gives insight into how the Internet can be seen is a human right. Note also The UN's Human Rights Council has issued a report saying that Internet access ought to be an essential right for all citizens. Research and find this report and evaluate its content. What do you consider to be human rights. When the UN calls something a human right, it's definitely time to take notice globally. Are they justified in doing so in this case at this time and .. in Belize?
In Group research the report. State the UN’s position on the internet. Provide reasons for this position. State your position with regards to Belize and its global position, recent world event. Create list of pros and Cons of the internet. Lastly state what this information has prompted you to do, if any if not state why.
