Below is a trailer for the Al Gore movie,"An Inconvenient Truth". I watched it this morning and if you are planning on living on earth the next 30-50 years or planning on having children live here you might want to check it out. The movie is not as goofy as the trailer below.

Prayers for 2007
A new year is upon us; time for reflection on the past, and hope for the future. 2006 had its great times and it had its low times; so as I look to the year ahead I want to offer prayers for the upcoming year.
Prayers for 2007:
- Love and Peace. We live in a world of conflict; it's one of the downfalls of sin. I'm sure since the beginning of New Year's reflections, there has been hope for peace. We turn on the news daily to violent conflict. But I pray for love and peace not only abroad, but local. I've seen conflict in my community (BH drug treatment center), I've seen it in church, and I've seen it in relationships(my own and others) In my mind there is nothing more beautiful than people living in peace.
- Guidance Everybody has the same questions about life: What's my purpose? Why am I here? What should I do with my life? These questions, as I am discovering, stick with us throughout our life. The one thing I know is that these questions are better answered within the will of God, so I try to seek His answers to these questions.
- Good Health Everyear the media focuses on the famous people who have died in the past year. Most if not all of us either knew someone who died or someone who was close to someone who died. We are always reminded of our mortality and need to cherish our times with those we care about.
- Those afar Prayers for family and friends we don't see as often as we would like; whether they are overseas, living up north, living way down south, living on the coast, working out of the province, or serving God in countries abroad; we spread out around this small world.
- The youth The struggles they face daily: rampant drug and alcohol abuse, the filth of the media, sexual purity, and finding relevance in their faith in a world that tells them it is worthless.
- humility Christians need humility. The power to admit their faults and seek reconciliation. The power to serve people rather than use them for their own glory. The power to rejoice in the sucess of others rather than feel threatened and in competition with them. The power to have churches that are all about Christ rather than an image or the people in charge of them. The power to treat others not as equal, but better; whether they are children, youth, adults, or seniors; and no matter what color, nationality, status, or belief.
Here's to the memories of 2006, and the hopes of 2007

Reason for the Season, Reason to Live.
This time of year is always a reflective time of the past year, and anticipation to the next. It would be very easy to look back at this year and be down-right depressed: I was forced to resign from my dream job, I'm unemployed, my cars keep breaking down, the ups and downs of relationships, the usual struggles with attitudes on life or self-confidence, and the struggles of trying to live a God-centered life in a self-centered world. Honestly, there are some days that are down-right hard to face, and I wouldn't except for God. That is why Christmas is so special to me; the gift of Christ has made life worth living, no matter whatever happens to me. God can overcome any problem in the world, and He can overlook any weakness in my own life and have fellowship with a sinner like me. I hope you have the joy of Christ in your life everyday, and that joy overflows this holiday season.

I need prayer..
Folks,I know not many of you check this blog, epecially when I haven't updated it in awhile, but I need your prayers. Our car had the heater fan conk out on it this morning; something you really need in the Canadian winters. And because it's an Acura it's not a simple switch under the hood, but you need to take apart the whole dash to get to it, so we're talking about a lot of labor to fix it; hundreds of dollars that I don't have. So I need a miracle this Christmas, because we need a car.

Shake them Jowels
Have you ever shaken your face wildly and felt your cheeks and lips shake about; kind of like a dog when it's all wet. And then while you are doing that you thought you should get a person to take a picture so they can catch your face in distortment. Oh, the hilarity that would follow that would be priceless. Someone spent sometime thinking about this and has created a website chalked full with hilarious pictures of dopes, like the one you see on the side, shaking their faces wildly for the camera. Check it out at:Jowelers.com
