Microsoft has quietly released its own Android launcher


Microsoft's relatively new strategy of pushing more apps onto more platforms continues apace with the quiet release of Arrow Launcher Beta: a basic but functional launcher for Android devices. As the name suggests, Arrow Launcher Beta is unfinished, and has been pushed onto the mobile scene with little fanfare, attracting beta-testers via a private Google+ group. (We downloaded a mirror of the launcher via the unofficial site Microsoft News, but doing so doesn't get you the updates accessed by signing up for the beta.)
SWIPE RIGHT FOR NOTES & REMINDERS, LEFT FOR FREQUENT CONTACTS
The launcher itself is pretty straightforward, with a pair of lists on the home screen displaying your most recent and most frequently used apps. Swiping up from the bottom of the screen brings up a customizable list of quick-access apps, as well as some settings and feedback options. Swiping right summons a simple Notes & Reminders page (where you can add tasks and schedule reminders), and swiping left show your most frequent contacts. There's also the option to update your wallpaper daily with images from Bing.

How to Trust God When Everything Seems Impossible #FaithOverFear

Life is full of challenges, and sometimes, these challenges can feel insurmountable. We face situations where the odds are stacked against us, where solutions seem out of reach, and where despair starts to creep in. In these moments, trusting God can feel difficult, yet it is precisely during these times that our faith is most crucial. Here’s how to trust God even when everything seems impossible. 1. Remember God’s Faithfulness in the Past When facing seemingly impossible circumstances, it’s important to remember the times when God has come through for you in the past. Reflect on past situations where God’s guidance, provision, and love were evident in your life. The Bible is filled with stories of God’s faithfulness, such as when He parted the Red Sea for the Israelites ( Exodus 14:21-22 ) or when He provided manna in the wilderness ( Exodus 16:4 ). Remembering these instances strengthens our faith and helps us to trust that God will be faithful again. Scripture Reference: "The L...

Living with Purpose: God’s Plan for Our Lives on Earth

God’s purpose for our lives on Earth is beautifully woven throughout the entire Bible. From Genesis to Revelation, His plan for humanity is clear: 1. To Know and Love God The greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. Our primary purpose is to have a personal relationship with Him. 📖 Matthew 22:37-38 – “Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.” God created us to walk with Him in fellowship, just as He did with Adam and Eve in the Garden before sin entered the world ( Genesis 3:8-9 ). 2. To Glorify God in All We Do Everything we do—our work, relationships, and daily lives—should bring glory to God. 📖 1 Corinthians 10:31 – “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” 📖 Isaiah 43:7 – “Everyone who is called by My name, whom I created for My glory, whom I formed and made.” We are reflections of His love and grace,...
