Galatians chapter 5 "For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery..." That is slavery to sin, which you know can ruin your life. Jesus wants us to be free to live a good life of love, servitude, compassion, equality, kindness and joy. If you have anger or hate in your heart for anything or anyone it is like a stone or in this case - a yoke. The love of Christ will give you peace.
On this day
2013 It seems a pattern for July's lately. It was 93 on this day that year as it will be today. No matter to me I went and helped with a funeral in our air conditioned church and then went to my niece Lindsey's pool for the day because my brother was down. What did we do in the heat before everyone had a/c ? I don't remember it bothering me too much then. Maybe we have become accustomed? I know, wait 2 or 3 months and it will be cooler.

Escalante Philippines
Due to the volcanic nature of the islands, mineral deposits are abundant. The country is estimated to have the second-largest gold deposits after South Africa giving credence to the talk that the Philippines was the Biblical Ophir[365] and the country also has one of the largest copper deposits in the world.[366] Palladium, originally discovered in South America, was found to have the world's largest deposits in the Philippines too.[367] Romblon island also possesses the most diversified, high quality and hardest marble in the world and is available in at least 7 colors mainly: brown, grey, rust, white, green, black and orange.[368] The country is also rich in nickel, chromite, and zinc. Despite this, poor management, high population density, a desire to protect indigenous communities from exploitation, and an extremely ardent environmental consciousness have resulted in these mineral resources remaining largely untapped.[366] Thus, making the Philippines a potential global economic super-power due to having the largest deposits of several precious metals and minerals in the world, yet the country also simultaneously experiences extreme poverty and suffering by refusing to mine these precious metals[369] as the country also suffers from the side-effects of the unstable seismologic origin of these precious metals such as frequent volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and landslides.[370] Geothermal energy is a product of volcanic activity that the Philippines has harnessed more successfully. The Philippines is the world's second-biggest geothermal producer behind the United States, with 18% of the country's electricity needs being met by geothermal power.[371]
