Last but not least!

¹⁴ So the Word became human

and made his home among us. 

He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness.

 And we have seen his glory, 

the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.
~John 1:14 NLT


Last but not least!
I love my job!
It puts me in contact with allot of people 
in different situations. People that I might not have 
otherwise even ever met.  I enjoy helping people too, 
and seeing the faces of those who are appreciative.


My career is in energy sales and safety.  
I believe we have a tremendous challenge 
ahead of us, and that it can be met.  
The challenge is going to be: 
finding energy sources to sustain 
ourselves, while maintaining the integrity of 
a world where water, food, and air are clean, 
yet wildlife, nature, and plant forms are 
allowed to continue to co-exist!  

I also am becoming more of an environmentalist as I get older.  

Our future on this earth depends on clean water, clean air, 

clean food, and clean efficient renewable energy sources!

I want to pass on this site, and ask that you also pass the word on too.  

We have a huge responsibility to conserve, 

and educate about energy sources.  

Leave a place better than you found it!

Here is a very educational 
Kids Energy website.  
(Several of us older kids can still learn allot too!) 
This will be very very important info to our children
 and grand children in the future.

http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/kids/energy.cfm?page=about_energy_conversion_calculator-basics#natgascalc

Scroll to the bottom of the page, and you will find a whole

menu of different training exercises, and info that is very much

oriented to children, and also adult teaching guides about energy!

I found of particular interest the
"Things to do" 

 - activities for kids of almost any age to get involved in.

Let me know what you think.

Try passing this on to the children's teachers too.


Yes, this is the last day of 2009.
If we work together, and educate our youth,
this last day will not be the least!

Love to all,

Norm

Peace on Earth

²⁸ Have you never heard?
      Have you never understood?

The Lord is the everlasting God,
      the Creator of all the earth.
   He never grows weak or weary.
      No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
 ²⁹ He gives power to the weak
      and strength to the powerless.
 ³⁰ Even youths will become weak and tired,
      and young men will fall in exhaustion.
 ³¹ But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
      They will soar high on wings like eagles.
   They will run and not grow weary.
      They will walk and not faint.

Isaiah 40 28-31

~ NLT

Peace on Earth
Our best source of preparation is

turning to God, and the bible is our instruction book.

Our "back-up plan" is just knowing His forgiveness and

to trust in Him, without relying on our own understanding.

Merry Christmas!

Love to all, Norm

The perfect gift!

The perfect gift seems to be a challenge for many people.

I guess I must admit, I do not enjoy fighting the traffic, and trying to find the right gift for everyone. But, on the other hand, I take quite a bit of pleasure in pleasing people, and one way is to give them something that really touches their heart strings.

Tradition shows up about now too.

My father always received one special gift from my mother each year. For as far back as I can remember, Mom quite often got our Dad a box of chocolate covered cherries for Christmas! Us boys never new the real reason, and full story behind the gift, but we knew very well the love behind the tradition. I am sure it started in the early days of their courtship, and we new that it was a very special gesture shared between the two of them.

As a small boy, Christmas gifts were so very special to me, and still are. I always wanted to stay up all night to get a glimpse of Santa, and I remember catching him placing gifts under the tree a few times!

Several very special memories were the

home-made gifts that I shared with my

two brothers. Our Dad is a very talented carpenter,

and we received a big red barn and a

rocking horse for Christmas one year. I must have

been only 3 or 4 years old, but I remember sneaking downstairs before anyone else, to find that

red barn and a horse we named "Rocky" under the tree.

I am told that I came running back upstairs

to wake everybody up,
and yelling: "he bringed a barn!"

Glow candles for the moms
and leather loop belts for the Dads!

We made special hand made gifts such as these
in country school every year!
Mrs. Russell, our teacher knew something
about making other people feel special!
She taught us that the gift given from the heart
with genuine love, will never be forgotten.

God knew what to give us. His Son.
His gift will never be forgotten.

Hope, Faith, Love, and

Peace on Earth!
