8 Tips to Become a Happier Christian
Are Emotions Ruling Your Life?
Many of us go through the motions of life and can't seem to find true happiness. Where does this bliss come from? Does it come from some big promotion or vicariously living through a celebrity on Twitter or Facebook? When it ends, do you find yourself craving more stuff to feel better or ignite those good ol' happy feelings?
If we are honest with ourselves, we are all guilty.
Regardless of the vice, the buzz of euphoric joy usually dissipates after we receive good news or when we finally get our breakthrough. What happens when you feel like heaven is silent or you are on a emotional roller coaster when plans are derailed? During that time we need the Word to sustain us, when our feelings won't cooperate and want to flare up when nothing is going right.
You were meant to be more than a mere survivor, right? So let's get on with it! Here are a few simple and practical ways to become a happier Christian.

Blue gentian germination oops
I made a mistake, thought my blue herald gentian seeds required 3-4 weeks of warmth, then a couple months cold striation in order to germinate. As it turns out, not necessarily. So, my original plan was, after 3-4 weeks in my basement, I'd stick it outside for winter sowing. Now that it's germinated, should I put it outside, or try to grow it under a light indoors?
A warm/cold/cool sequence is often recommended for best germination of your Gentiana paradoxa, and sometimes we're presented with a surprise. I've had that happen a few times, last was a species rose I think...
Unfortunately, now you are committed to growing them at the temperatures at which they germinated so inside, gradually hardening them off when your weather will allow them to be moved outside in Spring.

On 24/03/2015, the best option is to switch to full screen then take a screenshot.

Thank you very much for putting this out. Super user friendly and an awesome resource!
By Tyler on 26/03/2015
Very nice, useful tool. Would love to be able to export area info to Office or Google docs. Am I missing that?

By ramesh on 23/03/2015
I was looking for this kind of tool for a long time. It is excellent, and if the marking on the map is done correctly, the area calculated is very accurate. I am very happy and thanks to Google.

TLC/JimmyB here - Why will it not drop a pin on the actual address, like Google Maps does?
On 23/03/2015
Would be amazing for work if it displayed addresses somehow.
On 22/03/2015
thanks.very usefull
By salar on 22/03/2015
This is really nice; except it does not allow one to save the photo for further use in "My Pictures." I cannot just select the photo of the map without having to go into the Google Area Map site, and I cannot upload it in other applications.
By David on 21/03/2015
JimmyB, yes, it will only zoom in as far as street level.
By Daft Logic on 21/03/2015
TLC, these address are found OK as far as I can see. So when you click Search nothing happens?
By Daft Logic on 21/03/2015
try any of these: 345 Berkshire Dr Covington, GA; 2011 Old Salem Rd Conyers, GA; 1037 Meadow Springs Dr Conyers, GA
By TLC on 19/03/2015
This is great but I have one problem. It does not drop a pin on the exact property location. It show the street/area but if I don't know the specific house, I don't know which property to measure. Am I doing something wrong?
By JimmyB on 19/03/2015
i do not get it-square miles
By kyra on 19/03/2015
Hi TLC, what address are use using?
By Daft Logic on 18/03/2015
The map does not display a pin for the exact address. I have to go to another program to get the exact location of the address, then look at this app. Am I doing something wrong?
By TLC on 18/03/2015
fihe :)
By joao on 16/03/2015
I think there's a mistake in calculation. The Earth is about 57 million or so square miles big. If I look up for points in the Pacific, I get a square mileage of over 31 million. On the map, it looks more like 1/8th or even less big, yet it's over half of the earth?
By Jay on 15/03/2015
Thank you. Looking at land and am able to
see how big of a cleared area is on a property.

Hi goose, when there are 2 points the perimeter measurement reads twice the distance between them. If you are looking to measure distances, please use the Distance Calculator.
By Daft Logic on 07/03/2015
great for getting square footage and total perimeter. having trouble getting accurate distance from pt A to pt B..seems way off in distance when doing just 2 points? cannot use for diagramming due to this.
By goose on 06/03/2015
Great product no more walking with a wheel.
