Green Power’s High Cost Scuttles Projects – NYTimes.com The great philosopher Billy Joel sang, “Advice is cheap, you can take it from me.

Dangerous Criminal Deported (Seriously?)
Posted in Politics on July 9, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Arizona is taking flack from the Federal Government for attempting to curtail illegal immigration, drug and human trafficking and violence against U.S. Citizens by illegals and traffickers.

Inflation is a policy. And a policy can be changed. Therefore, there is no reason to give in to inflation. If one regards inflation as an evil, then one has to stop inflating.

When things are falling apart, trust Him and remember that He is still in control. 2 Kings 2:23-24 The punishment here is not simply because a group of boys teased Eljisha for being bald. Rather they were mocking a prophet of God which [...]
- Church UnityI appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. 1 Corinthians 1:10 The church needs to agree both to purpose and process.
