We went out for sushi tonight at Fujiyama. I rarely ever eat fish unless it's sushi. I typically get my sushi fix once a month. I just love their butterfly kisses house special there and my brother likes their lobster rolls. Their Sashimi are also pretty good. Tempura udon is also a decent item.

I am a pretty reasonable guy as far as going green and striving to be environmentally friendly. But it has to make economic sense and it must be my own voluntary decision. I am absolutely against forcing it down people's throats by legislation or the court's fiat. I am all for educational efforts to raise awareness of the issues, with facts rather than hypes. Everyone is for sustainable energy, and saving their own money. But as British architect Bill Dunster said, it has to be tested out first, make sure it's not only proven theoretically but practically. Whatever alternate energy product must not be consuming more energy to produce than it's producing, which I believe all the craze about ethanol is. I mean even for people who without Christ would forever be tortured in the lake of fire in hell, Christ didn't force it down their throats but patiently waiting and giving everyone a choice. It's a stubborn thing called free will, Bruce Almighty comes to mind. God, the Creator and the Redeemer, who left all His glory, came and took on our sins, died to give himself as a ransom for everyone who would accept His forgiveness and thus eternal life instead of damnation, for a person's own good for eternity, didn't force the person, who die and make Al Gore "god" to tell me how to live my life? With that out of the way, I believe these are the five reasonable ways from the September 2007 issue of BestLife Magazine that each one of us could individually consider to save energy and to save money at the same time:

1. Hot-water Panels.
2. Solar Roof.
3. Wind Turbine.
4. Water Harvester.
5. Geothermal Well, which is what president George W. Bush already has installed at his Crawford ranch.

It is ignorant to think people without Christ would forever be tortured in hell.....in fact...there is no hell...so thats that.

The dire consequences of you being wrong are enormous compare to me being wrong.

Dire consequences for me? Hmm... I don't know...i'm a devoted christian as well. But....god gave me the ability to reason...so...the question is...what if someone doesn't get exposed to Christ....Is there a dire consequence for them too? For something that is not their fault nor they have any control over? Doesn't seem fair.....The Christ I know is a pretty loving and fair dude. Plus...I don't think God will have us burn in the river of fire FOREVER based on our record from 70 years on earth...the ratio is somewhat unfair and un-christ like.
