Dedication:
May
all that is on this web site and all that is in the heart of the
designer be to the Glory of God, the Father, and Jesus Christ, his
only Son.
An Important Word From God:
John
1:12-13 "Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in
his name, he gave the right to become children of God - children born
not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will,
but born of God."
So,
what does that mean for me?:
"The
most important question everyone needs to consider is: 'What think
ye of Christ?' (Matthew 22:42), for upon the answer to that
question rests the fate of your eternal destiny ." (Author
unkonwn, emphasis added); and
There
is folly in living just for the things of this world: "Do not
love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world,
love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the
worldthe lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride
of lifecomes not from the Father but from the world. The world
and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives
forever." 1 John 2:15-17 (NIV).

The
Christmas Story: As read by me from the Holy
Bible (New International Version). A number of years ago, when our
children were young, we often spent Christmas with my wife's sister's family.
It became a custom for me to read the Christmas story on Christmas
Eve or Christmas Day. A few years after that custom ended due to
changing circumstances, my wife's sister requested an audiotape of me
reading the Scripture. I wound up making a video of the story.
I tried to do it not as a polished presentation, but as a father
might reading to his children, imperfections and all. It is
about a 19 min. presentation. I hope you will find this
narration of the birth of our Savior as heartwarming for you as it is
for me. This is a 2 part video on YouTube on my channel: Skybird436.
Part 1, Part

Shariah:
The Threat to America
A recent analysis has
documented, using unclassified and readily available sources, that a
threat to our national security is being waged against the United
States of America. This threat is posed by actions and plans of the
Muslim Brotherhood and numerous spin off organizations in the form of
a "non-violent" (if you will) "civilization Jihad"
or what is being called "stealth Jihad." The goal of this
form of "civilization Jihad" is to supplant our
Constitution and laws with Shariah law and incorporate our country
into part of a world-wide Islamic state (caliphate).
If you love the United States of
America, our Constitution, form of goverment and guarenteed Bill of
Rights freedoms, you owe it to yourself to learn about this threat
which is just becoming recognized, and then plan to do something
about it.
Purchase a copy of
"Shariah:The Threat to American, An Exercise in Competitive
Analysis, Report of Team B II" (Amazon.com has it here),
and study the findings for yourself.
Visit www.shiriahthethereat.com
and purchase a copy there or download a 1.6 MB copy for free.
According to the Constitution of
the United States, Article VI states "This Constitution, and the
Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof;
and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of
the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land." This
study finds that advocates of Shariah want to change that, which, in
a word, is sedition. Shirah law abrogates just about every freedom we
hold dear.

Concerned About
Global Warming?
There is good reason to
know that man made "pollutants" are not causing global
warming. In fact, the weather has control over CO2 and there are
twice as many polar bears now as there were in 1950!
Answers-in-Genesis and Coral Ridge Ministries got together to look at
the real evidence on this issue and the facts are dramatic. They show
that man is not influencing temperature by the creation of
"greenhouse gases." This team effort produced a very
informative 50 minute video, Global Warming: A Scientific and
Biblical Expose of Climate Change, that you can view for free or
purchase for $7.99 and download from the web (under "We Also
Recommend" toward the bottom of the
Answers In Genesis webpage). It is worth the effort. Become
informed before we are stuck with legislation that is completely
unnecessary, extremely expensive, and tax draining on everything we do.

A Blood Alcohol
Concentration (BAC) Estimator;
An Excel spreadsheet. Please drink responsibly.
Download BAC Calculator Now! (36kb)
I do not advocate the use of
Alcohol, but for those who do use it, here is a handy educational
tool that can be used to estimate the approximate level of Alcohol in
the blood after a given number of drinks at whatever level of Alcohol
content (proof) is appropriate. I used three sources to develop this
estimator: the National Highway Safety Administration formula, Duke
University and the University of Oklahoma. Details are in the spreadsheet.
NOTE: Many factors can enter into
the determination of a person's true Blood Alcohol Level. This tool
is for rough estimations only, as an educational tool, to show the
probable effects of levels of drinking and when it may be time to
quit for the evening. If you are seriously concerned about knowing
your BAC level when you are drinking (and anyone who drinks when they
may have to drive latter should be), get a personal BAC meter. Google
"BAC meter" for some places to purchase one. Office Max
even sells one for about $50.00. They are cheaper than a DUI ticket.
I assume no responsibility for how you may choose to use this
calculator, or the consequences of your actions, if you do. (Back

Ever
see a Minuteman ICBM launch?
I spent four years as a missile
combat crew commander for the Minuteman system. We had Minuteman I-Bs
which were not quite as sophisticated as the multiple warhead IIIs
seen in the video linked below, but they could do a job if needed. I
was on one of these tests, but our missile blew up as the second
stage ignited. This test went a lot better. I spent two years as a
Combat Crew Commander with the 320th Strategic Missile Squadron at
Frances E. Warren A.F.B. at Cheyenne Wyoming and two more years as an
Airborne Combat Crew Commander with the 4th Airborne Command and
Control Squadron (4th ACCS) at Ellsworth A.F.B. just outside of Rapid
City, South Dakota.
This YouTube
link shows the journey of a test missile
This YouTube
link is a 10 min. Official National Park Service video about
Minuteman Missile National Historic Site in South Dakota. It gives a
background to the Minuteman program and a tour of the topside and
undergound Launch Control Facility and a tour of a Launch Control
Facility. The facilities I served in were much like what is depicted
in the video.
This YouTube
link is a 3 min. TV interview about a day in the life of an on-duty

YouTube videos of a carrier
style TBM Avenger (Tactical Bomber - Medium) that visited the
Bolingbrook Cavalcade of Planes sponsored by the Illinois Aviation
Museum at Bolingbrook's Clow International Airport June 7, 2009. This
reconditioned TBM Avenger bears the tail number of "63"
which was George H.W. Bush's plane number (he flew this model in WWII).
