With the growing popularity of fuel efficient cars like the hybrid, some states are beginning to worry that they won’t collect enough tax money through current gas taxes. To help compensate for this California is considering a “tax by the mile” that would tax you based on how much you drive. It has not been stated if the tax would be more or less than what Californians pay now.
The obvious drawback to this plan is it may discourage people from buying fuel efficient cars like the hybrid.
Religion that God accepts as pure and faultless is looking after orphans and widows in their distress — commentary by James, the brother of Jesus
We learned about Rev. Jeyanesan’s work in the war-ravaged District of Batticaloa, Sri Lanka when we met him in Israel in 1996. He quickly became our friend as we learned about his mission to care for the orphaned, deserted, malnourished children and widows in the area. Before the tsunami, he had over 2000 children under his care, 320 were orphans. Although much of what they had was destroyed by this disaster, their numbers have grown dramatically because of it; Rev. Jeyanesan is working hard to help each and everyone that comes to him.
Rev. Jeyanesan has risked his life daily to live in this place for 20 years, overseeing several orphanages, vocational training centers, widow empowerment programs, day care centers and several churches.
The “Sri Lanka Relief Fund” has been set up at First Community Bank of Poplar Bluff (account # 00174653) to support Rev. S. Jeyanesan’s ongoing work and ministry to the poor, orphans, and widows on the east coast of Sri Lanka. This is a great way to see the results of the money you donate.
You may also donate online with a credit card or PayPal account. Just click the following button and you will be directed to a donation which will be transferred into the bank account at First Community Bank. You do not have to have a PayPal account to donate this way, it does use PayPay’s engine, but there is a link that says “Don’t have a PayPal account” for just using your credit card.

We all know what a “Magic Eye” photo is? Those 3D pictures that take forever to see. Well some guy has a web site that you can not only generate one, but turn it into a movie. It is pretty cool. It took me a little while to see it, but I finely did.

Most everyone has either seen or heard about the 1998 Summer blockbuster, Armageddon. Could it actually be possible for an asteroid that large to hit the Earth and destroy all life as we know it? Believe it or not, we are currently dodging (by a million miles or so) a rock (2.9 miles long and 1.5 miles wide) that, if impacted with Earth, could cause global devastation.
