Young Earth or Old Earth???

We were just blessed to have a four day seminar on the creation of the world. Russ Miller and his wife, Jo-Ann have a first class presentation aimed directly at Christians and the attack Darwinism has put on the Word of God. Their web site is www.creationministries.org and it is filled with videos and information every believer should know. Russ and his wife are so dedicated to getting the Word of creation out to everyone, they did not copyright their videos. So you can buy one and make a bunch of copies and hand them out other believers. If you ever get the chance to hear Russ speak we would highly recommend you jump at it.

Back to school...

Norm and I put our school clothes back on and headed for two days of classroom instruction. Beyond belief, at least for me, we both graduated ( yes there are two certificates). The CISM course was very exciting and informative. We now keep discussing how we can use our new techniques in regular conversation so we can practice. Our instructor could not have been better for us, a born again believer with a doctor title to her name. Life is good. The class had mostly professional people with just a few retired guys like us. We learned, among a lot of other things, listening skills, communication techniques, how normal people react in a crisis, how to intervene, and the most important part of the job, do no harm. I sure hope not. 

Gold Rush part two...

Here in the desert, water has always been important. It would be interesting to know what time this bag dates back to.


Norm and I actually thought about downsizing to save on fuel costs, but after taking a closer look, maybe we will wait for a newer model.
This is a nice look at most of the show. Cars lined up on both sides and down the middle of the street.

Gold Rush Days...

My favorite part of Gold rush days is the classic car show. They don't have a lot of cars, but they are unique. Like the one above, I have no idea what year it is, and it was for sale.
I love the old muscle cars and there is nothing like a big block engine.
This car looked very much like an original. At least to an amateur like me.
This is a 1957 Thunderbird. I think my Mom had one like it when I was a toddler.
This is a Hornet, it reads "Super Wasp' on the side. I'm not sure but I think there was one like this in the movie "Cars."

Snow in the desert...

I don't normally...

 use this type of gesture, but I feel like this with our goverment leadership. Do you? Thanks, Blackfive.

Hope, Arizona

On the way to and from Quartzsite we pass through Hope. It looks more like an intersection with a gas station, but it might be more. I don't want to offend anyone from Hope that might read this. The first sign you see when entering the town and the second one is on your way out of town. I hope that is not true of any of us.
