This guy was featured on Good Morning America today. This is just short of unbelievable and should not be tried as I’m sure he broke a number of FAA regulations, but it goes to show that some folks will not be denied their dreams.

Energy Shortage?
Posted in Energy Independence, Politics, Senate, tagged Energy Independence on May 28, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Gasoline and other fuel prices are rising at meteoric rates and a do-nothing government sits idly by and tells us that Europe is paying more per gallon and they are as usual telling only half the truth. The Europeans are paying more per gallon, but their cars are twice as efficient. You can’t purchase cars [...]

On Sunday I found myself inside a church on Jamestown Island in Virginia. The church is a replica of the original that stood on that ground in the early 17th century. Posted at the front of the church were the Ten Commandments. One of them stated, “you shall not kill.” How often we hear [...]

Last week I had the privilege of attending an educational forum in our area. One of the presenters that I heard was the young lady who authors a blog called, Twenty-Five Days. I could not get over the heart and deep presence of the capacity for social justice in a person so young. I felt [...]

Been spending the weekend at Colonial Williamsburg and thinking about an earlier age and an earlier King who much like our President ruled the world. Why else would an oil man invade a country that produced 3.5 million barrels of oil a day. Now that same country only produces 2 million barrels of oil a [...]

Twenty-five years and two children and the passage from a thirty year old to a fifty-five year old has occurred in what seems like half the time. Last night when we [...]

Recently I’ve come to have a greater appreciation for the feminine spirit in my life. I recently wrote about the Ruach and how the Hebrews long ago realized that the spirit of God was feminine or at least that’s how they depicted it. One of the lines in the Tao te Ching says, “the soft [...]
Wholehearted agreement

Lately I’ve been thinking that maybe the most important factor in the precipitous rise in oil prices in the past five years is our program of endless war. It’s a karmic reaction certainly and one that might have been easily predicted. Just yesterday President Bush was in Saudi Arabia begging for a production increase. Today [...]
