CHIME- China India and the Middle East

The News Press, in Fort Myers, printed an article that I wrote on China, India and the Middle East. The article focuses on the economic possibilities that exist between those, and perhaps other, countries. Ultimately, if the United States fails to pay close attention to world economic strategies we could find ourselves paying $5.00/gallon at the pump. As it stands now the price of oil is settled at the highest in history. What are we doing to lower the price and/or develop alternative fuel sources? What should we be doing to lower the price and/or develop alternative fuel sources? Obviously, our foreign policy has much to do with the current price-per-barrel. Moreover, the new administration - democratic or republican - will need to deal with foreign policy from a fresh perspective. Please comment with your thoughts and ideas ... please read the article, there is a link on the left if you are so inclined ... if you read the article, feel free to comment as provided by the News Press ... and please feel free to comment here and send me thoughts for other articles that you would like to see. Thank you!

Injustice of Justice - Spiritual vignette

The toughest part about being a "fighter" is knowing when *NOT* to fight! So, as a fighter (with a name like Chionopoulos, I *had* to be tough), faith becomes the most important weapon. This is being discussed in "The Injustice of Justice" - which is a book and a work in progress.

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: 6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. 7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. 8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil. 9 For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land (emphasis added). Psalm 37

Perhaps we can all learn something from this - the wicked and the righteous alike!
