New Drilling Process Lowers Prices


Another article today about natural prices holding steady or even lowering even though producers are scaling back reveals the long term benefits of a relatively new drilling process called "hydraulic fracking".
The bountiful shale rock is drilled not once but multiple times from the same general location and at least one of the central holes is pumped with a hot chemical laden salt water. The process shatters the shale, and forces the released oil  and gas towards the outer drill holes. The process does have it's drawbacks, according to Chris Nelder. A lot of drilling and superstructure is needed to sustain the operation of an oil fieled that quickly tap out in 5 to 7 years. No problem as long as the barrel price stays at $100 a barrel, but a major drop in price would stop drilling quickly.
Not that the price will drop quickly. Other countries are willing to pay $100 plus even if being extorted by the oil cartel.
So, don't go out and buy the biggest SUV you can find, but don't panic either. A summer of $5 will only set off a new wave of drilling, drawn off the natural gas crews that use the exact same equipment. Be smart, be at peace, be in prayer always.

Reaction to The Hell Worm Blog



(This note was posted on my Facebook Timeline by Katie Tate, who by now has probably defriended me)

I'm literally sick to my stomach after reading your bit about 'the worm of hell'. Why people think scaring people into religion is a sound tactic is beyond me. It was vile, disgusting and certainly had nothing to do with the love or mercy of the Jesus I worship. I normally don't call people out but this was just wrong. From one Christian to another, I will pray for you. The fact that just below your sermon about people going to hell and having their flesh digested for all eternity is advertisements for your online business further drives the point home that you need prayer. I'm leaving your page so any response will not be read by me. Enough of my time has already been wasted for one day. May Christ be with you.

"That is why we reject or ignore the Cross and the Presence of God. We are too proud to admit that we are destructive, vain, Godless, deceitful, proud.
This race of man, and most of us as individuals, are headed for a burning, lonely, painful Hell, forgotten by God and all of His Redeemed Children." SHAME ON YOU.

(The quotes are from my blog. the SHAME ON YOU was from Katie Tate. This concludes her post.

I will post my response on the bottom of the blog.)

It is permissible to disagree with me. I don't mind if you're wrong.

International


When listing my friends as international, should I include my friends from Texas or California? ;-) like Claudia Martin-Gaule from Texas? Also, I have a hard time listing Canadian friends as international, since the only difference between them and US, I mean us is they say "Aye" a lot and they love an insane sport called Curling. I caught a late night cable event of curling once. I thought I was on LSD.
Oh, and Canadian men wear bright colored slacks. A Canadian friend told me it was so they could be easily found in a blizzard.
I can't list hockey as a difference since both my grand son and my wife Mary can list by name the top players of all teams Canadian and US. They're pretty fervent fans, aye?
For the the uninformed I've included some "Curling" videos.

Unique

I'm the ONLY blogger or microblogger out of tens of thousands who combines inspirational or humorous posts with unrelated business and blog links.

I was asked by a Facebook friend what my business link had to do with an inspirational saying I posted with it. The aswer was ...Nothing. but I thanked her for asking.
I've been posting inspirational and humorous sayings from my collection with my unrelated ebusiness and blog links for almost 2 years. My friend was the first person who's asked.
I'm an internet entrepreneur and professional blogger. I will get my first checks totaling $30 in March after posting for 3 years.
As I said before and as far as I know, I'm the ONLY blogger or microblogger out of tens of thousands who does this, combines inspirational or humorous posts with unrelated business and blog links. That reason alone is incentive for me to continue. 
I also like the cleaner timeline, since combining means fewer posts, and I'd rather tell about my Jesus than my business, which is what I would have to do if I talked about my business with every link. My business is my last priority, but it IS on the list.
I am not surprised that someone asked. I am much more surprised that so many have received me so enthusiastically, 43,000 blog views, 1200 Facebook friends, 5300 twitter followers, reaching over 115 countries in at least 37 languages.
I am surprised that people would enjoy my own original quotes as much as or more than famous peoples quotes. (99% of my inspiratonal quotes and 25% of the humorous quotes are original.)
I am amazed that hundreds of people worldwide used Google search to find my sermon Why Good People Go to Hell.
I am amazed that my bounce rate (100% is bad, under 50% is good) is a stunning 3%, which means readers are not bouncing out, but sticking around to read more pages.
Mary is shocked that my most popular blog is The Adventures of Mike and Mary.
My mother is to blame for this. She was a driving force for us to be unique. I hope she's happy now.
The other thing to blame is The Gift Parables and More Parables, stories of how God orchestrated my life with miracles and grace into a living parable. Because I feel STRONGLY compelled to share these links, I started combining the links with my own prayers and praises, another compulsion, for I long to be constantly in the Word and not just copying and pasting. The combined links and sayings was the tool that enable me to do both at once, and has now become my hallmark. 
I am not a minister and this is not a church but my own timeline or blog. Since I retired from the ministry, I have decided to go into business. But I still have a passion for Christ and I want to keep Him first in my life and the business last. If people talk about baseball at work I should be able to talk about my passions while I'm working, ie blogging. 
My blogs are often meditations, but they're for my benefit first. I only started posting them when I found out others enjoyed them.
I don't mix business and religion. I am all business. 
My first business or purpose is to seek the Kingdom of God, and all the others will be added. 
I am to meditate on His Word night and day and He will grant success in all that I do. 
I am a passionate business man with a passion for the Passion. 
If I happen to be able to help someone along the way, as the Good Samaritan was able to do on his business trip, then I am especially blessed. 
God can helps us thread all of our purposes together so that we get it done in such a way that glorifies His name. 
I received feedback on this, which I deeply appreciated because it helped me to clarify my thoughts. Iron sharpens iron, and yes, sometimes the sparks of passion will fly.
