                                                              Perfection must be our aim. by Pastor George Lehman Perfection is not just a word, it's an attitude of the heart. “The man with insight enough to admit his limitations comes nearest to perfection.” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe   Amazing how we love this word: Perfect. When someone says you did a perfect job. Our child does well on the report card - we say that is just perfect. You hit a hole-in-one golf shot – perfect. That's a Perfect opportunity. But when it comes to our Christian walk, we don't like the word in fact we avoid the word perfect. Because we believe it's not possible. In our own strength and sinful nature, we will never attain to perfection. Jesus was stretched out on the cross for us!! He fulfilled God's perfect plan. God didn't call us to be perfect in our imperfection. It's when we understand our utter limitations and start to live a life of obedience – then the new life Christ purchased on the Cross for us. - A life of perfection will begin to grow, develop and flourish. The stuff you have laid down – You are already making progress. “A designer knows he has achieved perfection – not when there is nothing left to add, but when there's nothing left to take away.”  - Antoine de Saint-Exupery Malachi 3:3 (Amp) – He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and He will purify the priests, the sons of Levi, and refine them like gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord offerings in righteousness. Story of the silversmith: Some time ago, a few ladies met in a certain city to read the scriptures and make them the subject of conversation. While reading the 3rd chapter verse 3 of Malachi, they came upon a remarkable expression in the 3rd verse.  “And He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.” One lady's opinion was that it was intended to convey the view of the sanctifying influence of the grace of Christ.  Then she proposed to visit a silversmith and report to them what he said on the subject.  She went accordingly and without telling the object of her visit, she asked to know the process of refining silver, which he fully described to her. “Sir,” she said, “do you sit while the work of refining is going on?” “Oh, yes madam,” replied the silversmith, “I must sit with my eye steadily fixed on the furnace, for if the time necessary for refining be exceeded in the slightest degree, the silver will be injured.” The lady at once saw the beauty and comfort too, of the expression, “He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.” As the lady was leaving the shop, the silversmith called her back and said he had still further to mention, that he only knows when the process of purifying was complete, by seeing his own image reflected in the silver. Beautiful example!  “When Christ shall see His own image in His people, His work of purifying will be accomplished.”  - Author unknown. “Redemption is not perfection.  The redeemed must realize their imperfections.” - John Piper “The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.”   - George Orwell (People just plod along in their imperfection.) The general comment on perfection is:  Nobody is perfect.  We all make mistakes.  We are just human. It's really sad when someone keeps using these excuses when they are acting poorly – because they're not ‘perfect'. Not being perfect does not excuse disobedience, acting badly compromising or remaining in habitual sin. Paul encouraged the church to this life: 2 Corinthians 13:11 (NIV)  - “Finally, brothers, good-bye.  Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one mind, live in peace.  And the God of love and peace will be with you.” Jesus said: Matthew 5:48 (Amp) – You, therefore, must be perfect [growing into complete maturity of godliness in mind and character, having reached the proper height of virtue and integrity], as your heavenly Father is perfect. A clear positive command: Matthew 19:17-21 (NIV) – 17 “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”  18 “Which ones?” he inquired.  Jesus replied, “‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, 19 honour your father and mother,' and ‘love your neighbour as yourself.'”  20 “All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?”  21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” It will clearly cost you everything. Perfection comes when we lay down the things of the world. We have to have an aim in life as Christians – our goal is to aim for perfection. So many Christians merely drift through life. “If you aim at nothing – you'll hit nothing.” There are two levels of our Christian life: External:  It's what we do for God. We can be so busy doing and not aiming for perfection...Inwardly. Internal:  It's what we are becoming in Him. God's truth spoken by Samuel: 1 Samuel 15:22 (NIV) – But Samuel replied: “Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord?  To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams. Most importantly it's who we are becoming - not so much what we do!! Perfect:  Jesus is not talking about something that is unreal or unattainable It's something, by the grace of God that can be attained, but we have to aim for perfection. We have no right to bring God's standards down to our level of ability. We have to trust God to raise the level of our ability to His standards. God's standards are perfect. The word ‘perfect' can be translated as mature, fully developed, complete, lacking nothing. Here's an example in maths: A circle is round.  It can never be square or oval or oblong.  It's round – that's the standard. Using this analogy: God is the Great Circle it encompasses all He is the Great God of the universe - and He expects for us to be a smaller circle in character – in our homes, church, job, sports, everywhere. We cannot be satisfied with a square or oblong life our aim is the standard which is Round.... Paul states his life goal – his aim. Philippians 3:12 (Amp) – Not that I have now attained [this ideal], or have already been made perfect, but I press on to lay hold of (grasp) and make my own, that for which Christ Jesus (the Messiah) has laid hold of me and made me His own.   The life: Colossians 1:28-29 (NIV) – 28 He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. 29 To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me. Those who choose to remove the compromise of a, lack of prayer, bible reading and being a witness from their lives... ...those who make the commitments to do away with bad habits and lukewarm living and persevere...will... ...come so much nearer to perfection than those who make excuses, are lazy, compromise, and give up because they believe they can't be perfect. If your goal or aim is not perfection, then what is it? Where is your AIM? Do you AIM?  

Paradyn, one of Ireland's leading cybersecurity service providers, has announced that following a tender process, it is now providing a proactive managed IT service to six local authorities in Ireland - led by Cavan County Council and including Leitrim, Longford, Louth, Monaghan, and Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown (DLR) County Councils - in a deal worth 500,000 over three years. The new deal is underpinning daily operations for these local authorities by providing access to highly skilled technical engineers and managed IT support to quickly resolve any incidents, minimising the impact on the organisations and the citizens they serve. It is also delivering time savings to the local authorities by reducing the amount of time spent dealing with complex issues. In addition, Paradyn's solution is enabling increased network and data security at the councils' offices and libraries which, in turn, ensures sensitive information is protected for both employees and over 600,000 citizens across these six regions. The service is also enhancing network performance and resilience, reducing downtime and boosting productivity for up to 3,500 county council employees. Internal IT teams are better able to roll out more complex projects and implementations to further enhance services and resources for citizens through advanced network support and expertise provided by Paradyn's engineers. Paradyn also carried out training and onboarding of the new solution for the local authorities' own IT engineers. Enda Tiernan, Head of Information Systems, Cavan County Council commented: "We required highly skilled engineers to support our own technical staff with complex, technology-specific tasks and issues. Paradyn's impressive track record with supporting and securing organisations in the public sector made the partnership a great fit. Fergal Meehan, Chief Commercial Officer, Paradyn added: "We were delighted to work with these local authorities on such an important solution, which is improving the employee experience and helping to enhance the vital resources and services available to citizens. Our highly experienced and accredited senior engineers ensure that we can deliver a best-in-class service which will futureproof operations for the county councils in an increasingly digital world."

Sanford (“Sandy”) Whiteman is a legend in the Marketo world. A software developer by trade, he's one of a small handful of engineers who have focused specifically on marketing platforms and problems - not merely as a one-time project or side interest but as a dedicated speciality. Sandy is the #1 all-time contributor in the Marketo product community with over 23,500 posts and an honorary community moderator designation. He's also been a great friend and teacher to me over the years and a collaborator on many projects. Thanks to Our SponsorMany thanks to the sponsor of this episode - Knak.

Try Knak About Today's Guest Sanford Whiteman is Chief Technologist at FigureOne, a Marketo development agency. Key Topics[00:00] - Introduction[01:05] - Sandy's background and how he entered the Marketo world. His start as an IT security person. Developing an app for the textbook publishing industry. First Marketo project: to fix Munchkin. Reverse engineering the Munchkin script. Developing fluency in the Marketo UI. [04:58] - Why Sandy took the Munchkin script seriously. Enjoyment of niche knowledge and desire to discover what is currently unknown. Previous experience reverse engineering Microsoft SMTP server. People even at Marketo/Adobe not fully understanding the product internals. They are not front-end people. [08:17] - Justin's perspective on when Sandy entered the Marketo community. People guessing or speculating at how things worked technically but without a technical background. The contrast when a real developer focused on the same topics. Sandy's desire to not guess and to spread accurate knowledge about systems. How early developers scoffed at cloud-based systems and refused to support them. How developer skepticism towards MarTech systems may be rooted in a resentment from the IT team. IT questioning why the company would pay for a system they believe (erroneously) could be built in-house. [11:49] - Why “mainstream” developers who are otherwise talented produce bad work in the MarTech world (e.g., poor integrations) and show a lack of curiosity about it. Disparagement of marketing within the developer community. Lack of understanding of core components of marketing automation: SMTP, landing pages, databases. Belief that these are unsophisticated technology. Internal IT resources haven't had to manage email servers for 15 years or more. That knowledge has died out, leading to lack of understanding. Perceived primacy of back-end developers over front-end developers. Disparagement of JavaScript. [20:49] - The rationale for investing hours of time investigating obscure issues. How mastery of obscure knowledge becomes useful when those situations do arise.[24:32] - The challenge of being a technical consultant to marketers: you're downstream of strategy. Discussion of how it feels to work on marketing projects where the strategy is flawed or creative seems ineffective. The political challenges of giving feedback as a consultant. Sandy's frustrating situation with a client claiming the Marketo Lead ID is PII. How there's also a prestige that can come with being a consultant. [32:19] - Sanford's perspective on the...

Internal IT vs MSP Can an MSP do everything an internal IT department can? That is the quintessential question the world has been asking for 30 years. Just because an organization has an internal IT department does not guarantee that it will be efficient. In fact, all IT departments face the same choices as IT service providers: you can be proactive or reactive. Struggles of internal IT Natural barriers of scalability with internal IT Reactive vs proactive internal IT   MSP Market Still Growing According to Allied Market Research , the MSP market is growing at a solid rate and will reach growth of more than 11%, with an estimated revenue of $594 billion globally by 2031. Now, this study focused entirely on enterprise class MSPs, but it still has some value for the rest of the MSP community. If managed services is growing at the enterprise level, there is no reason to believe it is doing anything different at the mid-market and SMB levels The drivers behind the growth are also applicable to all levels of the MSP market; factors such as adoption of cloud computing, keeping IT management costs in line, and increasing data security threats. At these levels, managed services will represent half of all IT services spending around the world.   Does Size Matter in Managed Services? I hear a lot of MSPs talk about what they would do if they only had more resources. While more resources can make a difference, it isn't the only thing that indicates success in managed services. In fact, there are many examples of large organizations who have very poorly run managed services operations. Efficiency, not size is what matters Resources only gets you as far as your process It's all about execution

Mobility programs often rely on carrier-provided devices or, if corporate-owned, represent a high CapEx burden. Internal IT resources have to deal with staging, MDM, help desk, and logistics, while repair shops and insurers are used to mitigate unforeseen device defects. This often leads to an outdated device inventory that's often a patchwork of different models and operating system versions resulting in security risks, sub-par staff productivity, cost spikes, accounting challenges, and problematic sustainability and DE&I situations. These are just a few examples of how enterprises face many challenges regarding mobile device management and maintaining employee satisfaction/productivity. Tillmann Schwabe, General Manager of Everphone US joins me on Tech Talks Daily in a conversation about overcoming these challenges, what's coming next, and the solutions available. We also discuss the circular economy and how device-as-a-service is the most sustainable solution for enterprises and how Everphone's model reduces each device's CO2 footprint by 120 lbs.

Cybersecurity can seem complicated, but the truth is, many cyberattacks could be stopped with something very simple: improving password security. In fact, over the last two years, passwords were at the heart of some of the most high-profile breaches, including SolarWinds and Colonial Pipeline. And with an estimated 1 million passwords stolen every week, anyone could be the next target if they haven't taken steps to improve their password security. Darren James, a password security expert and Head of Internal IT at Specops Software, joins me on Tech Talks Daily. Darren discusses his role at Specops and what inspired him to pursue a career in security. We also discuss best practices that every business and individual should be using and why password breaches are so common.

In this episode of The Tech Factor we take a look at External vs Internal IT and tips to get the best of both worlds.

Show: 53Show Overview: Brian and Tyler talk about how companies rationalize a Buy (or consume) vs Build decision for a Kubernetes platform or service. Show Notes:This show is somewhat free form, but it ultimately started with a listener question that asked:"We run an internal Kubernetes platform in our centralized IT group, but some other developer groups also run their own Kubernetes platform. How do we convince them, or our management team, to bring other groups onto our platform to be both more cost effective and more collaborative with developers?"How do we rationalize having one vs multiple platforms (cost, support, feature differences)?How do we communicate to internal groups about the capabilities of an internal platform?How do we stop thinking like an IT group and start thinking like a product team?How do we measure success of the platform?Feedback?Email: PodCTL at gmail dot comTwitter: @PodCTLWeb: http://blog.openshift.com, search #PodCTL

Can we ever be completely safe when it comes to wifi security? No. Cue the panic. Just kidding. We really can’t be 100% safe using wifi, but that doesn’t mean we should just throw caution to the wind and neglect any attempts at security whatsoever. There are security protocols available to help keep things more secure. But what are the differences and why do those differences matter? In this episode, Brad Call, wi-fi expert and consultant for Internal IT, gives us a breakdown of the three security protocols and how they can help or hurt your wi-fi security.
