Is Air Pollution Causing Global Warming In Our World?

Foks important leaders around the world are concerned about our warm climate and its effect on weather. As you have seen in the pst 5 years our eather has been severe. The coastal cities along the east coast have talen a beating, but California has been hot the hardest. They were plagued with severe fires for the past few years. Now terrible and severe rains and mudslides are taking their toll. The worst to come is a major earthquake predicted. Why the state of California? I do not know. We do know and have proof that our earth is getting warmer. I know a lot of you are a skeptic and don’t believe this. All i can tell you is keep watching the weather storms tearing our country apart. Tornadoes have caused millions of dollars in damage let alone many lives. Again folks we have to control the pollution in our world. look what is going on in China. The whole country is polluted with a thick smog and this smog is highly toxic to the body. Everyone is wearing face masks for protection. They are even selling clean oxygen in containers. Folks this pollution does not stay in China it travels all over the world. Thank God America started any years ago to clean up the air. We have a long way to go but are going in the right direction. America is trying new technologies all the time and reducing fossil fuels. China is making an attempt to do this. Folks this pollution is warming our world and has been for many years. This warming is affectng our weather and will continually get worse. I know many of you are skeptic on this, but wait and see. Leaders of many countries met at a summet meeting on climate and weather control. I think it was in the country of Turkey. Folks this meeting was very serious. Top leaders know we have a serious problem on global warming. If we are not having global warming why are the glaciers melting at a fast rate of speed? There has been much talk on this issue also. The warming of our earth is causing much bad and stronger weather. Pray for our country folks. Thank you.

Special Occasions We want to wish a Happy Birthday Day to Briann Morr on Dec 26th. Hope you had an amazing day! Love Dad, Mom, Tristen and Kyler On New Year's Eve, Daniel was in no shape to drive, so he sensibly left his van in the car park and walked home. As he was wobbling along, he was stopped by a policeman. 'What are you doing out here at four o'clock in the morning?' asked the police officer. 'I'm on my way to a lecture,' answered Roger. 'And who on earth, in their right mind, is going to give a lecture at this time on New Year's Eve?' enquired the officer sarcastically. 'My wife,' slurred Daniel grimly. Page 22

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory, Forever and ever. Amen.

As in many homes on New Year's Day, Janet and Nigel, a happily married couple, faced the annual conflict of which was moreimportant: the football match on television, or the lunch itself. Hoping to keep the peace Nigel ate lunch with the rest of the family, and even lingered for some pleasant after-lunch chat before retiring to the lounge to turn on the television. Some minutes later, Janet looked in to see how he was and graciously even bought a cold beer for Nigel. She smiled, kissed him on the cheek and asked what the score was. Nigel told her it was half time and that the score was still 0-0. 'See?' Janet said happily, 'You didn't miss a thing.'

Karen was taking an afternoon nap on New Year's Eve before the festivities. After she woke up, she confided to Max, her husband, 'I just dreamed that you gave me a diamond ring for a New Year's present. What do you think it all means?'Aha, you'll know tonight,' answered Max smiling broadly. At midnight, as the New Year was chiming, Max approached Karen and handed her small package. Delighted and excited she opened it quickly. There in her hand rested a book entitled: 'The meaning of dreams'.

The next day, I called Dr. Christ again. He was my neck doctor and I set up an appointment. When I got there, I told him my problem. I told him that no one would hire me with my broken neck, that I had already tried and been turned down by 2 places. They would not take the risk. One place was the old GPW. That is where my mom worked. They told me my neck was too stiff looking (looking back, thank God they did not hire me). The other place was my old job at Badcocks Furniture Store. They wanted me, but were afraid of my broken neck. They said it was just too soon. I finally convinced the doctor to give me a full release. I gave him my word that I would be very careful and not do anything to cause me a problem. With the release in my hand, I started looking again. I think my neck was just too stiff looking for anyone to hire me. Then my good old dad came to the rescue. He convinced Mr. Hilton to give me a chance. Mr. Hilton was the boss at the local transformer plant, you know the one, they built transformers for all the power lines. He set me up an interview with him the next day. I remember Charlie Hilton. He was a very nice man and seemed to like me as well. Soon I was hired and working. I was only 18 years old and had never worked 40 hours a week before, so for me it was quite tiring. I started on the break apart line. I’m not sure that was the name. But, you broke down the coils then put them back around the transformers. One of my biggest problems was I had to break down the coil with both hands and move them to the right with both arms. Well, remember my right arm was still very weak. It took several weeks before I could use my right arm again. The weirdest thing happened while I was there. You know when you’re young, you never really see your dad as a worker. Heck, dad mostly just came home and laid on the couch. You just see him as someone that went away every morning and came back each afternoon and always wanted to know why you didn’t mow the yard yet. I was no different than any other kid. About the second day of working there, I heard someone call for Henry over the loud speaker. They said for him to come to the paint section. That section was right at the end of where I was. All of a sudden from around the corner comes my dad. He was in full uniform, I mean he had on a work belt, a helmet and gloves. I just stopped and looked at him. I had never seen him like that. He walked right up to the really high ladder and began to climb right up to the top without even stopping. I just couldn’t believe my eyes. He looked so different, so impressive. I just can’t forget how he looked, so important, so dang important. I miss my dad very much. I sure hope he knew how much I loved him and how proud of him I was. I sure hope I told him. I sure hope I told him how much he meant to me………….
