On energy crisis

-
A well-known oil tycoon says he has the answer to solve the nation's energy crisis. Mr. T. Boone Pickens says "I've been an oil man all my life, but this is one emergency we can't drill our way out of."

Mr. Pickens is building the world's largest wind farm in Texas. And this week, he is launching a national campaign focused on alternative energy. His plan would use wind as of source of electricity, rather than relying on natural gas. He says that would free up natural gas to fill our cars and end America's dependence on foreign oil.

Fred Frupp with the Environmental Defense Fund said, "what a dramatic wake-up moment when a Texas tycoon tells us we have to cut our addiction to oil. It's really time for America to act."

Alternative energy experts say there is enough wind to create massive amounts of electricity but they say nation's power grid is not designed to deliver it.

I definitely agree with Pickens that we need to develop alternatives. I joined his pickensplan DOT com initiative but I'm unsure how much traction it is really getting from the general public.

S.M.A.R.T way to start The New Year!

-
The righteous keep moving forward... and... become stronger.Job 17:9 Whoever said, "Procrastination is the thief of time," was right. We keep postponing, promising ourselves we'll do better. Be honest, how many of last year's resolutions did you keep? This year do things differently. Make your goals S.M.A.R.T. In other words, make them: (S)pecific: Get up earlier in order to read your Bible and pray before going to work. Make time for your family. Exercise. Eat right. Take care of your body; it's God's temple (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). (M)oderate: tackling more than one project at a time dilutes your focus and makes it harder to stick with. When you start too much you finish too little. Start small and build on your successes by mastering and maintaining one thing at a time. (A)chievable: don't try to swallow the whole elephant in one bite. Baby steps are the name of the game. Paul said, "One thing I do" (Philp 3:13 NKJV). Talk in terms of what you...

What are You doing, God?

Just wanna share with you guys... A man who had been shipwrecked was living alone on a desert island. He had finally built himself a little refuge out of palm branches that would shelter him from the sun and the rain. That night his hut caught fire and burned to the ground. "What are You doing, God?" he cried. "I have so little left in life, and yet You let my house burn down. How could You let this happen to me? "A few hours later a ship came and picked him up. "We saw your fire signal," the crew said. "We didn't realize these were inhabited islands. We'll take you home. "The man closed his eyes in embarrassment. "Uh, thank You, God," he said finally. If you are going through some tough times.. and it is so hard to understand what God is up to.. hang on... God knows what He is doing... He cares for you.. and He is in control.. His ways are higher than our ways. Trust Him.

The Potter and The Clay

Imagine a beautiful china teacup saying: "I wasn't always like this. There was a time when I was just a cold, hard, colourless lump of clay. One day the potter picked me up and said, 'I could do something with this.' Then he started to put pressure on me and change my shape. I said, 'What are you doing? That hurts. Stop!' But he said, 'Not yet.' Then he put me on a wheel and began to spin me around and around until I shouted, 'Let me off.' He replied, 'Not yet.' Then he shaped me into a cup and put me in a hot oven. I cried, 'Let me out of here. I'm suffocating.' But he looked at me and said, 'Not yet.' When he took me out, I thought his work on me was over, but then he started to paint me. I couldn't believe what he did next. He put me back into the oven, and I said, 'I can't stand this, please let me out!' But he said, 'Not yet.' Finally he took me out of the oven and set me on a shelf where ...
