Well I have found the theme song to my life:

Keith Green's 'I Pledge My Head to Heaven'

Well I pledge my head to Heaven for the gospel
And I ask no man on earth to fill my needs
Like the sparrow up above, I am enveloped in His love
And I trust Him like those little ones, He feeds

Well I pledge my wife to Heaven, for the gospel
Though our love each passing day just seems to grow
As I told her when we wed, I'd surely rather be found dead
Than to love her more than the one who saved my soul

I'm Your child and I want to be in Your family forever
I'm Your child and I'm going to follow You no matter
Whatever the cost, well I'm gonna count all things lost

Well I pledge my son to Heaven for the gospel
Though he's kicked and beaten, ridiculed and scorned
I will teach him to rejoice and lift a thankful praising voice
And to be like Him who bore the nails and crown of thorns

I'm Your child and I want to be in Your family forever
I'm Your child and I'm going to follow You no matter
Whatever the cost and I'm gonna count all things lost
Oh no matter whatever the cost, well I'm gonna count all things lost

Well I've had the chance to gain the world
And to live just like a king
But without Your love, it doesn't mean a thing

Oh no matter whatever the cost
Well I'm gonna count all things lost
Oh no matter whatever the cost
Well I'm gonna count all things lost
Well I pledge my son, I pledge my wife
 
I pledge my head to Heaven
I pledge my son, I pledge my wife
I pledge my head to Heaven for the gospel

Which Tablet?

At this moment in my life journey I feel like I would like to purchase a tablet. However, I have a few questions:
  1. Do I really NEED a tablet or is it just a 'Nice-to-Have'?
  2. Would a smaller netbook type laptop device be more functional?
  3. What features am I looking for?
  4. What size do I want?
  5. Which tablet should I end up getting?

Answers:
  1. No I do not NEED one per se. I just enjoy having a portable entertainment device.
    Here is what I would use it for ......
    - Youtube
    - Twitter
    - Email
    - Surfing the net
    - Kindle
    - Occasional games (although the kids would use it for more games).
  2. Perhaps since it has a keyboard and would be able to accommodate 'real' windows programs
  3. Ok here goes ....
    - Non-bluetooth Keyboard
    - Full USB
    - Sylus with hand writing recognition
    - Voice to text
    - Side-by-Side applications
    - Expandable storage
    - HDMI output
  4. This is a difficult one:
    - I like to convenience of the smaller devices but screen size is an issue when reading kindle books/mags with maps/images
  5. I am torn between 3 at the moment:
    - Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
    - Samsung Galaxy Note 8
    - MS Surface RT
