| "Again and again, the impossible problem is solved when we see that the problem is only a tough decision waiting to be made."
-Dr. Robert H. Schuller
Life is full of choices and decisions, and each brings forth different results and consequences which bring forth even more choices and decisions... One can easily get wrapped up in worrying about the future, but it's best to let God do the worrying for us. We must have faith that everything will turn out just as it should - even if things look bad at the moment. All we can do is ask God for strength, patience, wisdom, and guidance; live life one day at a time; and live each day one hour at a time...
"Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake"
-Victor Hugo | | |
| Whatever is at the center of our life will be the source of our security, guidance, wisdom, and power. -Stephen Covey

How Gullible Are We?
Afraid of Dihydrogen Monoxide?
A student at Eagle Rock Junior High won first prize at the Greater Idaho Falls Science Fair, April 26. He was attempting to show how conditioned we have become to alarmists practicing junk science and spreading fear of everything in our environment. In his project he urged people to sign a petition demanding strict control or total elimination of the chemical "dihydrogen monoxide."
And for plenty of good reasons, since:
1. it can cause excessive sweating and vomiting 2. it is a major component in acid rain 3. it can cause severe burns in its gaseous state 4. accidental inhalation can kill you 5. it contributes to erosion 6. it decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes 7. it has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients
He asked 50 people if they supported a ban of the chemical.
Forty-three (43) said yes, Six (6) were undecided, and only one (1) knew that the chemical was water.
The title of his prize winning project was, "How Gullible Are We?"
He feels the conclusion is obvious. | | | | |
