COP CARE NAVIGATION BAR

February / March 2003

In the last little while there have been several fires: apartment building, vehicles, house fire. Today, I drove by a fire in an industrial area where a shop and some heavy equipment were lost. A full-size industrial shop literally melted down 'till all that was standing was not much bigger than a prairie outhouse.

None of these fires are connected, but it brought to the front of my mind a couple of things; what really lasts?

In the one photo, two RCMP officers are checking over the origins of a fire that ruined a heavy loader. This powerful piece of equipment was ruined by fire

Our earthly retirements can be lost with a change in the stock market. Our homes can be broken into and our valuables stolen or destroyed. What we often value as an asset, or even a keepsake, is not what God sees as an asset. HE looks at the heart.

There is nothing here on this earth that we can carry over into eternity; no silver or gold, no small heirloom. BUT, the Bible lets us know there is a way we can send something ahead.

Mat 6:19-21 :19 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. :20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. :21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

PRICE OF GAS

Since mid February here in BC we have seen the cost of gas go up $ .12 cents a litre. The cost of a litre of gas this week is $.91.5 cents.

Works out to:
$4.11 a Imperial gallon. (4.5 L = 1 Imp gal.)
$3.64 a US gallon (4L = 1 US gal.)

A full tank of gas is $48. Without call outs or extra trips, I use a tank and half a week just in routine visits to Departments
