The Bible tells about the prophet Elijah and his story
When his work on earth was done God took him to glory
Other prophets of old were instruments in God’s hands
They brought God’s words to people in many lands

A prophet marches to the sound of God’s voice
The message he brings causes many to rejoice
He is often misunderstood and abused by scorners
And is often seen in the company of mourners

Sometimes he sighs and weeps over the state of affairs
He often prays to God and has many burdens he bears
His sleep is disturbed by divine dreams and visions
He seeks God’s wisdom and will when making decisions

The office of prophet is very special indeed
To his words the people need to take heed
The message he brings is not one of his own
But the words are from God who is on his throne

The Lord still has prophets like those men of old
They are filled with the spirit and are very bold
The Lord has said do my prophets no harm
Listen to their words as they sound the alarm

Jesus Christ is coming back and very soon
The sun and stars will change so will the moon
Be prepared to meet your maker this I do say
It may be your time to die this very day

What is Lurking in Your Water?

Submitted by: Michael Del Greco, New Jersey Home Inspector Lic GI 0121, President of Accurate Inspections, Inc, a New Jersey home inspection company

Have you ever wondered what might be lurking in the water you\’re drinking?


There are millions of different bacteria, chemicals, minerals and toxins in the water we drink. However, they are at trace levels and are, for the most part, tolerable.


Your best protection is to learn about your water and test it regularly. Water labs will be able to give or direct you to a source that will outline the acceptable parameters or tolerances of the compositions or conditions that may be found in your tap water. A local lab should also be a good source of information for the most common problems found in your area. Public water systems are required to test their water periodically by State regulations.


Here is an overview of a few of the dangerous concerns found in some water:


1) Coliform bacteria. This is waste from animals or humans. This situation can develop in areas where there are large populations of humans or animals. Surface water may be washed into wells or their underground aquifers. In older communities, cesspools were much deeper in the ground and closer to water tables. New community requirements put on-site water systems closer to the surfaces and farther from the water tables. There is no acceptable coliform bacteria level for water that is to be consumed.


2. Nitrates. These chemicals may cause neurological problems.


3. Pesticides. These are found in areas where foliage is sprayed or dusted. Rain washes the pesticides to the surface and possibly to wells or underground aquifers.


Proper balanced water is 7.0 PH. When the PH is below 7.0, the water is acidic. With levels above 7.0, the water is alkaline, or base. It is very common to see water with low or acidic PH, especially in municipal water supplies or densely populated areas.


Low PH can be recognized at sinks and tubs after a few years by the greenish stain at the drain. This stain is caused by the chemical reaction of the acidic water and the copper piping. The acidic water causes copper to be depleted from the pipes to the point of failure, or leaking. Advanced stages of this activity can be evidenced by small, round, green stains on the pipes. This is an indication that the pipe is newspaper thin and will leak at any time.


Limits of acidic PH are typically 6.5 to 8.5. The levels are measured on a logarithmic scale. High levels of minerals will manifest themselves by leaving brownish stains at the sink and tub drains and in the toilet tanks.


Here is a partial list of maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for Safe Drinking Water:


Component/Condition MCL Component/Condition MCL

PH 8.5 Nitrate 10

Manganese .05 Total Dissolved Solids 500

Sulfate 250 Hardness 250

Lead .050 Copper 1

Sodium .50 Iron .03

Fluoride 2.0 Chloride 250


There is treatment equipment on the market that will address these issues and hundreds more. You should know what is in your water and the possibility of problems before you call a treatment specialist. The better informed you are, the higher the probability of purchasing a system that will be best for you, if a system is needed at all.

Particularly careful observations publicized by the Bank of England yesterday led to the contemporary UK Pound bounce back individuals have witnessed being halted. The rather surprising judgment through the British Central Bank was totally unanimous for interest rates to stay put on hold and to uphold the existing level of quantitative let-up. Then again, rather surprisingly, the members of the Monetary Policy Committee also known as the MPC, held British Stirling’s modern day appreciation was certainly not certainly the ‘green shoot of recovery’ innumerable people are anticipating and also might in reality impair business and so obstruct the UK economic healing.

The above unpredicted observations saw the United Kingdom pound fall one United States cent against both the American Dollar and the Euro and additionally more that one cent and a half against the Swiss Franc.

On this day United Kingdom retail figures and additionally publically available finance facts could offer continued indications as to the vigour of the British economy as well as can bring about continued volatility in the financial markets. As a result, make doubly sure you are in close contact with your foreign currency account handler so they will keep you informed of significant market changes.

Intelligence made known recently from the Office of National Statistics or the ONS for short, confirmed that unemployment in the UK had increased significantly to just over 2.2 million the peak height ever since Nov two thousand and six Despite rise the figure was probably not as bad as many people had forecast yet, with the national joblessness rate remaining more that 0.07 it was viewed as negative for the UK pound. This on top of the cautious remarks by the MPC just served to amplify UK Stirling’s difficulties. David Kern, chief economist at the British Chambers of Commerce, said: “These jobless figures are slightly better than feared, but the overall situation remains grim… It is much too early to talk about the end of recession”

The apprehension at the moment is that the above numbers can get worse as college and also university alumni enter the careers market at the most unpleasant potential point which is plausibly going to deposit farther pressure on the pound. As a result, if you have planned an upcoming foreign money exchange speak to a dedicated foreign currency broker who will often be able to elucidate all the available alternatives put forward to you including fixing your exchange rate for a pre-determined period of time in the future for simply a really small deposit on a forward contract ideal to help you budget. Don’t rush intobuying foreign currency , consult and expert before making any decisions.

Ocean Heal Me

Ocean heal my wounds
Let your waves curl and foam on my body
Wash away blood, heal scars

Ocean renew me with your power
As unceasingly you roll
Giving strength that’s been drained

Ocean keep me warm
Wrap me in your brine
Caress me with your tides

Ocean disperse my tears
As they flow in you
I cleanse my soul

Ocean let me grow in your depths
Color me vibrant blue, coral, green
Clear = revitalized

Ocean your spray anoints me
Cool and refreshed
My spiritual renewal

Ocean be my friend
Hold me flowing in your currents
Ever moving, ever changing

Ocean, heal me.
