Side Business to Support Camp DePra
One of my patients, an experienced business man, introduced Becky and I to a business opportunity. I am always skeptical (and still am, a little) but after evaluating it carefully we decided to start. We've all been getting these calls to switch electric and natural gas providers after deregulation occurred. AMBIT ENERGY is the one of those companies. They have decided they want to be the best in the industry without sacrificing integrity. AMBIT provides a guaranteed savings of 2% in NY and 3% in PA (most often saving 6-8%) and a hard to believe referral system to get free energy by getting other people to switch. They also give reward points for trips - kind of like frequent flyer miles. NYSEG never gave me anything but a bill! It costs nothing to switch and there are no contracts. I have yet to find a catch or gimmick. Anyone interested in getting into this business or switching your electric and/or natural gas service, Please reply to this email. It seems too good to be true, but it really could be a once in a lifetime opportunity - like when your grandfather bought Coke stock for pennies or land for a dollar an acre. See the links below for more information.

Food for Thought...
I believe our nation is headed for very hard, even disastrous times. I do not believe politics will fix our economy - it's too far gone - too much debt to ever pay back. We depend completely on our fragile technological infrastructure for food, water, shelter, transportation, and entertainment. Any number of events could cause a sudden collapse of our system e.g., electric grid collapse from terrorism, natural event like solar flare, simple breakdown from lack of modernization, or Israel attacks Iran and the price of oil skyrockets, or China stops buying our treasury bonds. I am feeling called to prepare for such disaster by working to be less dependent and more self-sufficient. If you have interest in or questions about this line of thinking, please e-mail me by replying to this e-mail. Below are some of my favorite links:

Matthew 6:7-8
7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
Repeating the same words over and over like a magic incantation is no way to ensure that God will hear your prayer. It's not wrong to come to God many times with the same requests-Jesus encourages persistent prayer. But he condemns the shallow repetition of words that are not offered with a sincere heart. We can never pray too much if our prayers are honest and sincere. Before you start to pray, make sure you mean what you say.

Acts 5: 32-37
12 The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon's Colonnade. 13 No one else dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by the people. 14 Nevertheless, more and more men and women believed in the Lord and were added to their number. 15 As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by. 16 Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those tormented by impure spirits, and all of them were healed.
Don't forget who the apostles were. Fishermen, a tax collector, they were common men. Not too impressive. God used them to show His Love and Power to the world. He can use us also.
