Christmas Greetings With Menorahs
Merry Christmas. What is it about the Christmas season that brings out the worst in the anti-Christian and anti-Jewish zealots? This along with the constant denigration of Christians and Jews brings me to the conclusion it must be fear, or they have a problem with their own image in the mirror.
Psalm 122 – Peace for Jerusalem
The third in the Songs of Ascent is a solid hymnal offering for peace. It is centred on the Temple experience; the physical attainment of the LORD’S city by the pilgrims.

America’s history is rooted so deeply in freedom of choice to either win or lose in one’s economic decisions. This can be epitomized by so many early Europeans coming to the New World in search of a new life, many of which had very little wealth in terms of personal property or education, but eventually pioneered much of the American wilderness creating farms, small communities, and big cities. From the earliest Americans that came to Jamestown Virginia to the more recent immigrants coming through Ellis Island, many of these Americans have argued for less government intervention in their lives and created a culture that keeps the government from controlling everyday choices like gun control to even universal healthcare. Even today, America does not even have a universal healthcare system, even though many other industrial nations do.

The production side of the market for electricity can be described as typical and very similar to other markets in other economic sectors in that it is affected by gains in technology and other factors to increase productivity. There are many methods electricity suppliers use to produce electricity. However, hydroelectricity is still a unique way of producing electricity, with some potential ecological benefits, compared to using sources of energy creation like wind, nuclear or even coal.
