Spring & Summer of 2009 is no exception, save the uncertainty of the times we live in financially. Our National, Regional, State, County and City economics are in shambles for the most part; and we are all interdependent on each other to the degree none of us can truely say they don't need the other person and God's Good Grace abounding toward us.

This time of year, I usually see the Air Soft / Paint Ball players coming out of the woodwork's and showing up for gear to participate in their favorite sport... To that end we are prepared with the "Stuff" usually asked for in such outdoor play. BDUs' (New & Used) Bandanna's, boots, caps, hats, Long sleeve and Short Sleeve, Camo T-Shirts, Face Paint as well as camo summer weight Balaclavas.

And of course Sow N Sews Custom Sewing N Repairs is doing it's sewing thing for all who need repairs to past years equipment; and making custom modification to new or existing harness, pouches, etc. Right on the spot, and usually better then factory new. Real competitive on pricing for the financially challenged.

If your in Business be Thankful for a Faithful Spouse
If your in Business be Thankful for a Faithful Spouse magnify
I just want to acknowledge, the wonderful wife of my youth...Yes we were High School Sweethearts and are now married more then forty years. Joyce has been there for me and I for her in think, and in thin; in peace time and in war, overseas and back in the United States in many different places.

Our Son Randall Jr. was born at Ft. Eustis Virgina, and Daughter Kelly in Frankfurt West Germany, and we ended up in Indiana as an ROTC Instructor at Ball State University (Muncie), Indiana Institute of Technology, and Indiana Purdue Universities (Ft. Wayne) as a final stationing, with us living in Muncie and commuting as needed for Instructor assignments.

I have been deployed to far away places and all around the U.S. and we have enjoyed our lives together and all God has blessed us together in. Now in these later years, we are enjoying growing old together and the grand children and just being the old folks at home "Together" taking care of what ails each other in the personal sense again "Together"...you can pretty much see where this is going, right?

One of the "Benefits of growing old together" is being there for each other and "sharing" the our lives together in good or bad health, good or bad financial times, good or bad emotional times and of course enjoying the shared moments that can only be made by being together. No other relationship can provide such intimacy that I am aware of of as being one flesh, one heart, and one mind so as to stay together over such space of time and place as a close knit family can and does offer. Too often discounted on the surface among singles, who may have not known the love and stability of such a family; or have become estranged over disagreements of sorts, and find it difficult to be reconciled.

I am so Happy for my Life, and the Wife of my Youth, and Our Children and their Spouses, and our Grandchildren and very soon I suspect our Children s, children that will make us Great-Grandparents. In any way you look at it, I have been blessed beyond measure, and I am Thankful to God, His Son Our Lord, Christ Jesus, and the work of the Holy Spirit of God in our collective lives together to bring about His will for Our collective Lives and to see His handiwork in our home, our business, and overall family and community we live, work in and everywhere I have traveled. Indeed we serve an Awesome God!

Love is suppose to be sacrificial and it has proven to be so; and I would ask my wife to marry me all over again if I was given opportunity to choose all over again... and I believe she would still say YES once again...and I love her dearly...she is my Proverbs 31 wife and I bless God for her daily. Time and again she has proven to be faithful in business and our home and family; and we as a household and family are blessed to have Her as my lifelong Help Meet, Lover, Mother of our Children and Wife of my Youth...Thank You Lord, for all your blessings.

Mapping your way to Army Surplus of Muncie
Mapping your way to Army Surplus of Muncie magnify

I was called a couple of Weeks ago about doing an Advertising Bit with the City of Muncie, and it included our having a business card along the boarder of the City of Muncie map produced to be handed out to ? ?

As all know, being found is "half" the battle in any venture. We think we have good to great Customer service, so I say yes! Now it remains, will enough folks see this City of Muncie Map and come in as a result of our being among the business card size ads on it.

So you tell me; please. Did they do a good job of making us stand out in a business card size?

Do we have the right information to entice you to want to "check us out" and come in or call? Or, maybe visit our web site?

What an Age we live in; with all the multimedia and all that is available today! I am just flabbergasted at all that anyone seeminly has available to themselves with the right connection to use to promote themselves, families, business and ministries.

I am enjoying being somewhat of a character of sorts to our Local Collage of Journalism at Ball State University who seem to think I have something unique to fill. I have been called three times now, and been asked if students could do some Video Projects for their class. Of course I said yes. http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=4A1CD61EB9592B06

The link below, will take you to YouTube and two of the recent Videos taken by students for thier class; Memo to self, get the spelling on the sign corrected and do something to get the sign updated with the new web address to.

So you see; if you have God's Grace and Favor abounding toward you, you don't have to spend a lot on advertising in a big way. Just Trust in God to do what He alone knows we have need of and take care of our part to be co-workers together with His Holy Spirit in each of our Lives.

So now you have a little more knowledge about what is going on in Sow N Sews Custom Sewing and Army Navy Surplus of Muncie.

Alternative Power You and I can Use Today!
Alternative Power You and I can Use Today! magnify
With the rising cost of petroleum based ? ? almost anything, it seems evident we as a Nation and as a People within this Nation can no longer "Allow" ourselves the luxury of waiting our Government(s), Federal, State, County or City/Township to do something to help the Common Good; or cause a reduction in dependence on traditional power generating sources.

It should be clear to any casual observer, that we as a people group could have done some things differently back at the turn of the 19th century, and didn't for various reasons. Now we will pay to play catch up with, and do what we could and should have done almost a hundered years ago.

As long as the earth exists, we will receive sunshine in some form; as long as the earth we live on is covered by 3/4 water, it is only a matter of access, use, and recycling it to our needs, and of course as long as some wind blows anywhere in our area of the world we have to contend with whatever it brings our way . . . Or maybe use that wind to a productive and practical application.

Maybe we could consolidate may of the features of what God has given us to use "Freely" as in Matthew 10:5-28 we see our Lord, Christ Jesus put His Disciple's in Charge, and give them instructions as to how to give out freely what they had received; the Knowledge, Understanding and Wisdom to apply what He had Taught them, about Himself, and to Fear No Man (Mankind), In Romans 8:18-39 we see text talking about future Glory and comparisons of the present with our expected future. And of course we are told about the differences between the Spiritual and the Natural, and to not be over come by misunderstanding the suffering of our present conditions. So while in this Body of Flesh we do what we can to best apply ourselves to find a way to live in Christ Likeness as best we can as we submit to the lead of the Holy Spirit in each of our lives.

One thing has struck me of late and that is the Cost of Living; while no one is totally exempt, we can and I beleive biblical that we should do what we can independent of what Government may want to help in to provide for ourselves from God's Freely Given Abundance to all. One such way is our own Energy Independence and how it affects our ability, to Grow, fuel, and energise the numerous devices we seemingly can't find a way to live without.

So this blog today is aimed at opening the knowledge and understanding of what is going on in Energy independence in this country, and how as a Christ-In believer we can claim that gift of God in our own lives, our Families, and put it to work in our business' and industry.

The links included in today's blog, will take you to articles, research papers, and help (hopefully) you to spark an interest in looking into how you can lower your personal cost of living by increasing your use of God's Abundance He has already made available in many different ways and all we have to do is harness, and convert it; not unlike the O.T. use of Oxen, Wells, and Sun Baked Brick to make homes and fire to smelt and even make alloys.

No Dam Turbine can be implemented Today and Scaled to fit the present needs of any population: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btSTfzgtZm8&feature=related You, will need a Video Player to see the video, or simply read the research.

Back in High School we all (Maybe all) learned about different types of Energy; and this Video shows a new form of applied force in the kinetic sense: http://youtube.com/watch?v=r7DFDrFbWT4&feature=related But here a gain doable if you have access to water.

This next link; talks about combining water converted to hydrogen on demand and then mixed with your present fuel (gas or diesel) and the mixing cause better combustion, so complete, that you get a better more efficient engine power, cleaner engine, longer lasting engine, and almost NO Pollution released into the air we breath. And Potentially better gas/diesel mileage of the fuel used to power our vehicles. http://www.runyourcarwithwater.com/?hop=opmind&gclid=clz8ythmnpicfqijxwod0s_oaa

Or: http://www.hydrogencarsnow.com/hydrogen-on-demand.htm

This is a pretty neat video of one who has already done his own conversion: http://www.hydrogen-boost.com/?OVRAW=Power%2030%20Homes%20%2BHydrogen&OVKEY=h...

There are folks who have found a way to economically convert Wind to power make Hydrogen too: http://pepei.pennnet.com/Articles/Article_Display.cfm?Section=ARTCL&PUBLICATI...

Then there are folks who think Fuel Cells have their proper place and use and should be Portable: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/06/070628183720.htm

Scale of the need to produce Hydrogen doesn't seem to be a factor any longer: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/02/080219133226.htm

And of course there will always be those who prefer somewhat exotic manners of manufacturing, storing and using Hydrogen to ? ? http://www.neutralexistence.com/blog/complete-car-hydrogen-conversion-kit-fro...

Or: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/08/070827174310.htm

Weather it is a cottage in the green, or out in the western hills or mountains, folks are into many different alternative forms to get and keep themselves off the grid or maybe even sell some back to the grid: http://www.autobloggreen.com/2007/09/07/itm-power-is-back-with-more-home-hydr...

Yes, there is an Electric Grid, and most all use the grid right now: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_energy_storage

This paper purports to have the problems, solutions and plans down to make the switch from Petroleum based to Hydrogen based economy work. http://www.hydrogen-boost.com/?OVRAW=Power%2030%20Homes%20%2BHydrogen&OVKEY=h...

And it nice to know we are not the Only Country converting, and using hydrogen in many different ways; look at the way this fella is dong it at his Home: http://www.metaefficient.com/news/fuel-cells-being-used-to-power-japanese-hom...

This site has some really nice links of their own to many different alternative energy research: http://www.aboutmyplanet.com/science-technology/diy-convert-your-car-to-use-h...

This Guy Joe seem to have his act together on this subject and more: http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:Joe_Cell

And of Course the Air Folks don't want to be left holding the balloon so they are hot after the market also: http://freeenergynews.com/Directory/CompressedAir/index.html

Or this one: http://www.theaircar.com/acf/air-cars/energy-storage.html

This Writer from Michigan has some perspective on the whole business too: http://www.hydrogennews.org/hydrogen/crea.htm

In my next blog, I will be looking at Wind and Sun use more; and in the mean time, I hope those of you who need to do, will seriously consider one of those Hydrogen On Demand systems from a kit or maybe making your own from part purchased at the local hardware, and letting me know how you fare, in getting satisfactory results. God Produced some wonderful things for us to use and share; not the least of which is our Human Genius when properly focused on God's Blessings of all mankind.

And for the "Working" Ministers of the Gospel out there? You know who you are; here is opportunity of a very nice, needful nature, to make an income from, while doing well, by doing conversions of existing vehicles, and helping those paying big bucks out to save some of their hard earned money too.
