Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
Those of you that use your hearths, please service them or have them serviced. You can see online tutorials at the Chimney Saftey Institute http://www.csia.org/
We clean ours at lest three times a year over the winter months, some times more.
I have gas logs so I enjoy the fireplace without the hassel.

Every year my company inadvertently benefits from tragic, and often preventable structural fires. Following a "believed to be" fireplace/chimney fire yesterday which resulted in a total loss, I did two media interviews and was on the front page of our Lake paper promoting hearth safety. Tomorrow I have an interview with the Lake of the Ozarks Business Journal with stated intention to be the featured business in January 2009.
While these media plugs are a welcome boost, they are bittersweet in that they are achieved through a tragedy of a third party.
Thankfully, no one was injured in this one. It is not always that way...
Steve,
I do a Safety Minute with my entire team every morning, and we mostly discuss construction safety, but from time to time I throw in a personal safety minute, such as Christmas tree and light safety, etc.
I'm going to use this as my Safety minute on Monday - thanks!
