What's That You Didn't Say?

Well darn the farm Mr. President. You missed another opportunity.

"Far be it for our American President to publicly congratulate (let alone even mention) AMERICAN ingenuity and AMERICAN PRIVATE ENTERPRISE for the miracle rescue of the Chilean Miners.

• Schramm Inc. of West Chester , Pennsylvania built the drills and equipment used to reach the trapped miners.
• Center Rock Company, also from Pennsylvania , built the drill bits used to reach the miners.
• UPS, the US shipping company, delivered the 13-ton drilling equipment from Pennsylvania to Chile in less than 48 hours.
• Crews from Layne Christensen Company of Wichita Kansas and its subsidiary Geotec Boyles Bros. worked the drills and machinery to locate and reach the miners and then enlarge the holes to ultimately rescue them.
• Jeff Hart of Denver Colorado was called off his job drilling water wells for the U.S. Army's forward operating bases in Afghanistan to lead the drilling crew that reached the miners.
• Atlas Copco Construction Mining Company of Milwaukee , Wisconsin provided consulting on how to make drilling equipment from different sources work together under differing pressure specifications.
• Aries Central California Video of Fresno California designed the special cameras that were lowered nearly a mile into the ground sending back video of the miners.
• Zephyr Technologies of Annapolis Maryland , made the remote monitors of vital signs that miners wore during their ascent.
• NASA Engineers designed the " Phoenix " capsule that miners would be brought to the surface in, and provided medical consulting, special diets and spandex suits to maintain miners' blood pressure as they're brought back to the surface.
• Drilling Supply Co., Houston also involved.

Oh, and Canadian-based Precision Drilling Corp. and South-African company Murray & Roberts, drilled backup rescue shafts in case the American rig failed. Which it didn't."

IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER!

There are certain parts of movies that just hang on. One of my favorites is a moment at Camp Mohawk when the Lake "something" Olympics were taking place. Of course the rich kids camp was winning and Camp Mohawk chances are slim and none. Head Counselor Bill Murry steps up to give the motivational talk to the seemly dumed campers and profoundly states that no matter what they did all the really good looking chick would still go out with the kids at Morning Star because they had all the money. And then he begins to chant "it just doesn't matter, it just doesn't matter, it just doesn't matter" over and over till the whole camp is screaming "it just doesn't matter. "



Recently I was apart of two meeting where "well-to-do" men and woman came together for some common purposes. Of course that is an assumption on my part because my conclusions are that both groups wanted the same results but weren't welling to give up part of themselves to accomplish a common good. I guess they all were inwardly chatting "it just doesn't matter.".

Facts are, it really does matter. It matters that we are together in what our efforts can accomplish and even more it really does matter that we realize that God is able to meet ours and the needs of others exceedingly abundantly beyond our greatest expectation.

It is time for us all to put aside ourselves for others and do what is right instead of what is proper or fitting.

I say that to say this... There are a lot of "nuts" in the world. They say things that even they don't understand but expect everybody else to understand what they meant after saying stupid things that no one understood to begin with. I know some of these people personally and they just don't get any better with time. They are their own worst enemy. Their heart's desire is for someone to take care of their every wish in life. Whether it be financially, socially, spiritually, or "hopefully." (I know... you have to think about that one.) Good grief!! Grow up and be your own person. Take notes so you don't forget who you are. You could make you own life and live it. Stop trying to live someone else's life or get someone to live for you. Tell the truth and stop looking for excuses.

Let me make one last statement, if you want to blame someone blame Al Gore. They tell me he takes credit for the World Wide Web and most people wouldn't be able to think up the crap they throw out there if it wasn't for the "web".

Thanks, Al! Now go climb a mountain.
