I was wondering what happened to the people over there. This picture tells a thousand words. I hope nothing very bad happened!

Bongani, that's ok! Im sure Nick would understand that.

I do not know what happened here, and as much as me angry or sorrowful what I see in the picture, I wonder why and after that is gathered at least a small group of people to fix the mess, to set an example that things may not always change but that can fix that in a way that others will attempt to make even minimal efforts to improve their community and life. All we must at least try to preserve those values that are truly valuable, not only us but generations to come after us.

Ahh Biloxi... Katrina.

Well, the church gets affected, just like other buildings. If you look at the other pictures on the source, you will see the amount of destruction.

@Mladenka: I think people at Biloxi as well as other areas afflicted by the terrible Katrina were busy trying to save their lives and rebuild lives, rebuild homes.

This picture, to me, in this context, makes me think:

A religious icon is also just material good. The symbol of Mother Mary, however, is beyond the material. Hopefully, this church and other churches afflicted have been re-build by now. Maybe someone know?

God in praise. We need to believe in that he will bring miracles and save us from our sins. This our daily living, we need to praise him for giving us something each day.

I see something beautiful that transcends the physical ruin. This is an awesome photo Nick.

I think it should inspire us to believe change can happen even in the worst of times as this picture makes me feel. We could go there together and change this as it should be.

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Stinging Nettle

In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future

FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

public servants

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
