The best invention of our time is...

So the question was asked this morning on Bart & Jen in the Morning, What is the best invention of our time? We had several calls, but Jim's call was the top! The microchip! Without it we would not have any of the tools we have today. So the question was asked...who invented the microchip? Well here's the answer, thanks to about.com The History of the Integrated Circuit aka Microchip Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce By Mary Bellis, About.com Guide See More About: * jack kilby * robert noyce * microchip * integrated circuit * history of computers "illustration from Jack Kilby's inventor's journal " illustration from Jack Kilby's inventor's journal integrated circuit "What we didn't realize then was that the integrated circuit would reduce the cost of electronic functions by a factor of a million to one, nothing had ever done that for anything before" - Jack Kilby The Integrated Circuit It seems that the integrated circu...

Romans 1

As I read and reread Romans 1 I was taken back by the later part of the chapter. Before coming to really know Christ and actually trying to follow him, I always knew there was a right and a wrong. I usually did what I wanted, and not really cared about what happen, but I still knew, and I often have been asked, "How do you know what is right and what is wrong?", well now I know and I will always direct the question to Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. Now I have to say that the last part of the chapter is what has me all tied up in knots. Not because I don't agree with what is written, but because of the way "Christians" us this passage of scripture to pass their personal judgment and hate. For me I want to show God's love, grace & forgiveness. John 3:16 says For God so loved...

I have to say that I am very much in awe of the Chapman family. They inspire me to continue on with the good fight as they continue to share the gospel with all those around them. I can only imagine the difficulty that they still go through day in and day out & I pray for them as they continue on the path that God has set before them.

Super Bowl Commericails...

were the true winners this year! I have to say I missed a lot of them because I was "banned" from the living room due to superstition. See all season I missed 1st quarter, so as I was sitting down to watch the game (during 1st quarter), our team began to look real bad...so my husband of 15 years...told me to "get out!"...trust me...it was out of love (for the Steelers) so I complied! Since I missed most of the commercials, I had my top 3 of the ones I say, but I found this website, http://superbowlads.fanhouse.com, and it has all the Super Bowl commercials on there. So have fun watching them whether it's your first viewing or your one hundreth...enjoy! ~Peace & Blessings~ Jen
