Cybersalt News

Sunday greetings everyone.

Thank you to everyone who has asked about the situation here in British Columbia. We are fine at Cybersalt World Headquarters, here on Vancouver Island. The biggest hit to our infrastructure (the main mountain pass out out of town) is repaired to the point where it is back to being open 24 hours a day while more repairs are being done.

The major issue we still face locally is that nobody (neither government nor media) seems to be able to figure out that when you tell people not to panic buy things, a lot of people take that as their cue to panic buy things. So right now, until December 1, we are restricted to 30 litres of fuel (approx. 8 US gallons/6.5 imperial gallons) per stop at a gas station.

The really big, huge mess is on the lower mainland and in the coastal mountains - a 40 minute drive, 90 minute ferry ride, and another 60 minute drive away. For those interested in the latest in details we like to get our news from globalnews.ca/bc/

In other Cybersalt related news, I learned recently that Rev. James Snyder, who writes the "God's Penman" articles, suffered a heart attack earlier this month. Here is the note he shared on Facebook, "Last Thursday, November 12, I had a heart attack. I was taken to the hospital and on Saturday, November 13, I had a Stent put in one of my arteries. That artery was 90% clogged. On Sunday afternoon I was released from the hospital and went home. Now I am recovering from home with the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage taking care of me. Who knew I even had a heart?"  If you want to send James a note, his email address is jamessnyder2@att.net (you can always find that at the end of each of his articles.)

Today's video share is a commercial that had me thinking both 'that would be fun to do' and "I hope this doesn't give me nightmares," lol.

Methuselah ate what he found on his plate
And never, as people do now
Did he note the amount of the calorie count
He ate it because it was chow.

He wasn't disturbed as at dinner he sat
Devouring a roast or a pie
To think it was lacking the right kind of fat
Or a couple of vitamins shy.

He cheerfully chewed each species of food
Unmindful of troubles or fears
Lest his health might be hurt
By some fancy dessert
And he lived more than 900 years!

Be the kind of woman who, when your feet hit the floor first thing in the morning, the devil says, "Oh no, here she comes!"

"Be a Billionaire!"

Refugees and

Persecuted Christians

"The ministry of mercy, then, is the best advertising a church can have. It convinces a community that this church provides people with actions for their problems, not only talk. It shows the community that this church is compassionate."

- Timothy Keller

If you're even half-way old, you will remember when:

* Your computer's ready-mode was a black screen with a single cursor, and there was no such thing as Windows; there was just "DOS."

* Your phone choices and bills were much easier because AT&T was a good old-fashioned monopoly.

* There was this amazing new video game called "Pong" and you thought it had the most advanced graphics imaginable.

* The first true laptop computer was a Radio Shack TRS-80. If you were hip, you referred to it affectionately as a TRASH-80.

* Sean Connery was Pierce Brosnan.

* The astonishing mobility was a cordless phone you could take around the house; it got better reception than the one you can now take all over the country.

* Mail was something you wrote on a piece of paper and put into a stamped envelope. And you didn't get 110 unsolicited pieces of it every morning promising great riches or body enhancements.

* There was a guy on "60 Minutes" named Mike Wallace who was so old you figured he'd retire at the latest by 1990.

* No normal person had speakers on a computer.

* The diners at the next restaurant table were smoking cigarettes and you barely noticed.

* A 1-gig hard drive seemed as big as a warehouse.

* The only thing you knew about Robin Williams was he played a weird alien named "Mork" on television.

* An 8-track tape the size of a paperback book was an advanced concept in compact music recording.

* And jokes were always told in person!

Rev. James Snyder, God's Penman, writes . . . . 

Choices are a very important part of our everyday life. I am what I am today because of choices I made yesterday. I would like to blame someone else, but the truth of the matter is, I am what I am because of my choices.

I must confess that there are a lot of bad choices I have made throughout my life. I will not name them right here, in fact, I'm trying to forget most of them. It’s a good thing I can’t relive yesterday.

However, I have made a few choices that I have made in my life that has been very good. I don't focus on my bad choices because I can get discouraged. But, I do focus on my good choices because that's a real source of encouragement.
