Integrity --> Peace & Justice--> Lasting Security

I was looking at the web site for the conference (mentioned in previous blog) when I noticed the theme verse. I can't say I have ever really noticed this verse before. Powerful.

In the wilderness, justice will come to live. And integrity in the fertile land. Integrity will bring peace, justice alone will give lasting security. Isaiah 32:16-17

Speaking of end times and global warming and such....

Seeing Mike's post reminded me of an article by Brian McLaren in the March 2004 Sojourner's special edition on the environment and Christian responsibility etc. It is a most interesting article..to be sure. Check it out:

Apple Battery Exchange

Hey ya'll,
For those of you w/ Powerbook G4's and iBook G4's, your batteries are being recalled. Go to http://www.apple.com and they have a note about it at the bottom that you can click on. Mine should arrive in 3-5 business days. Until, keep using your current one (just pray it doesn't burst into flames, hehe!).
