Some 2,000 years ago, our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ told us to perform miracles and to give them away freely as he had done. I realized several weeks ago that all of my books on spirituality, miracles and religion have been miracles in themselves. They had been inspired by the Holy Spirit, without which many of those projects would have stalled long befo

Quotes by Rod Martin Jr. (?)

“When you warm up our Earth, melting all that polar ice, you end up reducing the overall temperature difference on the planet.”
― Rod Martin Jr., Climate Basics: Nothing to Fear

“When you listen to the news and hear of droughts and floods, remember that the corporations need profits and news makes profits by making the news seem alarming.”

“When complex plans are developed for combating global warming, it’s ironically like Gulliver’s little friends if they were to declare that there was too much food in the world. Tax the farmers for growing crops so they’ll eventually have to stop. Sew the mouths of consumers shut so they will no longer demand food. And belts make it obvious when people are hungry, because those people have to tighten them to keep up their pants. So, outlaw belts, too. See? Wrong focus. Wrong set of importances. Wrong problem! Food is not the problem and neither is warming.”
