  • a little fall of rain   ...   will make the flowers grow.

    Praise God for the gentle rains in San Diego this past thursday. On
    tues, the smoke was so dense that all of SD was in Sepia mode. It was
    like looking at everything through polarized filters. The rain was not
    only helpful to the firefighters but was extremely refreshing. Never
    have my eyes been so delighted to view just a bit of blue in the
    sky.

    Driving along hwy 163 and 52, I saw for myself the aftermath of the
    fire and realized how close it really was to me and to all my favorite
    restaurants in convoy. It was one of those moments when the
    gravity of the situation just suddenly hits you deeply in the
    stomach. The hillsides were charred, some of the freeway exits
    were badly damaged and in several spots the fire went right up to the
    doorsteps of the building. The fire is far from being contained but is no longer a serious threat to populated areas.

    ---------------------------

    I also bought my first new car yesterday. For me, buying this car
    was a tiny step of faith - faith in God's provision and faith that God
    would use this act of obedience for His glory. btw, the 2004 Toyota Prius
    is a really great car. I love it! Some have called it the first car of
    this new century. The only reason I'd get a new car now is if there's
    some major innovation in car technology....the next car I'm buying will
    have the flying option available. One of my roommates asked me,
    "if you were a millionaire, which car would you buy?" I confidently
    replied, "If I were a millionaire, I would still buy the 2004 Prius."
    Seriously!

    I was just curious, if you were a millionaire, which car would you buy?

  • You know dave...to some...it may seem like a hard question...but most people have a dream car...well...i think it'd be better to label it as mobile vehicle to include turcks or hummers or SUV's...in any case...when someone asks me that question...one letter and one number come to mind....

    M and 1

    What's an M-1?  Well...the full label would be an M-1 Abram...and for those non-military people out tehre...yes....its a tank

  • To clarify, I'm reasonably certain that DarkShadowMage means the new updated, M1-A2 Abrams anti-tank tank. Good choice. For me, a large, 6-passenger sedan with a substantial engine. I'm looking forward to the introduction of hybrid drive and alternative fuels to mainstream vehicles -- like the '04 Silverado and Sierra; '05 Escape, VUE, and RX; '06 Equinox, Malibu, Futura, Five Hundrend; and probably many more... competition is good for the consumer and the economy. buy American.

  • Honda Accord, definitely.

  • nice car.  can i get a ride in it?  hahahha

  • hmmm i would want a jaguar... the latest one of the time i became a millionairess! yet the car must come with a chauffeur. so you got the car you wanted when you become a millionaire... are you a millionaire now then?

  • Hey there Dave, I thought it might interest you to know that your car, the 2004 Toyota Prius, won MotorTrend's 2004 Car of the Year Award.
